Answer:

amount of work done, W = 549.36 kJ

Given:

mass of a car engine, m = 2500 kg

initial velocity, u = 45 mph

final velocity, v = 65 mph

1 mile = 1609

Solution:

We know that 1 hour = 3600 s

Now, velocities in m/s are given as:

u = 45 mph = \frac{45\times 1609}{3600} = 20.11 m/s

v = 65 mph =  \frac{65\times 1609}{3600} = 29.05 m/s

Now, the amount of work done, W is given by the change in kinetic energy of the car and is given by:

W = \frac{1}{2}m\Delta v^{2}

W = \frac{1}{2}m\times (v^{2} - u^{2})

W = \frac{1}{2}2500\times (29.05^{2} - 20.11^{2})

W = 549.36 kJ

Object's velocity change

the definition of acceleration in kinematics, allows to find that the correct answer is:

     2.  speed up  ( acceleration)

The kinematics study the movement of the body, the acceleration is defined as the change of the speed by the time in the interval

             a = Δv / t

Where the bold letters indicate vectors, a is the acceleration, v the velocity and t the time

Analyzing this expression we see that for there to be a change in velocity, there must be an acceleration of the body.

Let's analyze the different claims

1. True. If it is stopped and you start to move there is an acceleration, therefore there is a change in speed, but after you are moving the acceleration becomes zero and there is no change in speed

2. True. Whenever there is acceleration there is a change in speed

3. False. Moving slowly does not change the acceleration, therefore there is no change in speed

4. True. If you are moving and you stop at this moment there is an acceleration, therefore there is a change in speed, but after being stopped the acceleration is zero and there is no change in speed

5. False. If you change the direction at the instant of change there is an acceleration but after you go in the opposite direction there is not acceleration therefore there is no change in speed.

In conclusion using the definition of acceleration in kinematics, we can find the answer the condition for a change in velocity, the correct statement is:

     2.   speed up  ( acceleration)

A current of 0.92 a flows in a wire. how many electrons are flowing past any point in the wire per second? the charge on one ele
Fantom [35]
The current is defined as the ratio between the charge Q flowing through a certain point of a wire and the time interval, \Delta t:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
First we need to find the net charge flowing at a certain point of the wire in one second, \Delta t=1.0 s. Using I=0.92 A and re-arranging the previous equation, we find
Q=I \Delta t= (0.92 A)(1.0 s)=0.92 C

Now we know that each electron carries a charge of e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C, so if we divide the charge Q flowing in the wire by the charge of one electron, we find the number of electron flowing in one second:
N= \frac{Q}{q} = \frac{0.92 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C}=5.75 \cdot 10^{18}
