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

1. A student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag.
Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

(a) Displacement of an object is the shortest path covered by it.

In this problem, a student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag.  She travels 0.3 km south to retrieve her item. She then travels 0.4 mi north to arrive at school.

0.4 miles = 0.64 km

displacement = 0.7-0.3+0.64 = 1.04 km

(b) Average velocity = total displacement/total time

t = 15 min = 0.25 hour

v=\dfrac{1.04\ km}{0.25\ h}\\\\v=4.16\ km/h

Hence, this is the required solution.

A little girl kicks a soccer ball. It goes 10 feet and comes back to her. How is this possible?
marta [7]
A classic puzzle...

She either kicked it at a wall <em>exactly</em><em /> 10 foot in front of her, where the ball rebounded off the wall.

Or, she kicked the ball straight up, vertically, at a <em>90 degree angle,</em> where due to the law of gravity, which states that anything that goes up must come down, when the soccer ball reaches exactly 10 feet, it falls back down.
(Note: This is nearly impossible to achieve -- exactly 10 feet.)

A space vehicle of mass m has a speed v. At some instant, it separates into two pieces, each of mass 0.5m. One of the pieces is
Damm [24]

Answer:

W = ½ m v²

Explanation:

In this exercise we must solve it in parts, in a first part we use the conservation of the moment to find the speed after the separation

We define the system formed by the two parts of the rocket, therefore the forces during internal separation and the moment are conserved

initial instant. before separation

        p₀ = m v

final attempt. after separation

       p_{f} = m /2  0 + m /2 v_{f}

       p₀ = p_{f}

       m v = m /2 v_{f}

       v_{f}= 2 v

this is the speed of the second part of the ship

now we can use the relation of work and energy, which establishes that the work is initial to the variation of the kinetic energy of the body

     

initial energy

         K₀ = ½ m v²

final energy

        K_{f} = ½ m/2  0 + ½ m/2 v_{f}²

        K_{f} = ¼ m (2v)²

        K_{f} = m v²

         

the expression for work is

         W = ΔK = K_{f} - K₀

         W = m v² - ½ m v²

         W = ½ m v²

A sphere of radius R contains charge Q spread uniformly throughout its volume. Find an expression for the electrostatic energy c
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

E = \frac{3kQ^2}{5R}

Explanation:

Let the sphere is uniformly charge to radius "r" and due to this charged sphere the electric potential on its surface is given as

V = \frac{kq}{r}

now we can say that

q = \frac{Q}{\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3} (\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3)

q = \frac{Qr^3}{R^3}

now electric potential is given as

V = \frac{k\frac{Qr^3}{R^3}}{r}

V = \frac{kQr^2}{R^3}

now work done to bring a small charge from infinite to the surface of this sphere is given as

dW = V dq

dW = \frac{kQr^2}{R^3} dq

here we know that

dq = \frac{3Qr^2dr}{R^3}

now the total energy of the sphere is given as

E = \int dW

E = \int_0^R  \frac{kQr^2}{R^3} (\frac{3Qr^2dr}{R^3})

E = \frac{3kQ^2}{R^6} (\frac{R^5}{5} - 0)

E = \frac{3kQ^2}{5R}
