A car in motion has kinetic energy. What happens to the kinetic energy when the car brakes to a stop? The kinetic energy is tran

sformed into potential energy ready to be released when the car starts back up. The kinetic energy is lost since energy is not conserved. The kinetic energy is transformed into heat energy evident by the warmth of the tires and is dissipated. The kinetic energy is still there, it is just not observable.

Answer:

<em>When a moving car brakes to a stop the </em><em>kinetic energy of the car is converted to heat energy. </em>

Explanation:

A moving car has kinetic energy.

It is given by the equation k=\frac{1}{2} mv^2

Where m denotes mass of the car and v denote sits velocity. When the brakes are applied the velocity becomes zero and the car doesn’t possess kinetic energy anymore.

According to law of conservation of energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another. On coming to a stop,  the kinetic energy of the car  gets converted to heat. The friction between the tyre and the road heats up the tyre.

The average standard rectangular building brick has a mass of 3.10 kg and dimensions of 225 m x 112 m x 75 m. The gravitational
zzz [600]

Answer:

P=3.61\times 10^{-3}\ Pa

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a brick, m = 3.1 kg

The dimensions of the brick 225 m x 112 m x 75 m

We need to find the maximum pressure created by the brick. We know that, the force acting per unit area is called pressure exerted. It is given by the formula as follows :

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

F = mg

A = area with minimum dimensions i.e. 112 m x 75 m

Pressure is maximum when the area is least.

So,

P=\dfrac{mg}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{3.1\times 9.8}{112\times 75}\\\\P=3.61\times 10^{-3}\ Pa

So, the maximum pressure created by brick is 3.61\times 10^{-3}\ Pa.

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 15.1 Mechanical Waves. Waves on a string are described by the following general equation y(
NeX [460]

Answer:

The transverse displacement is   y(1.51 , 0.150) = 0.055 m    

Explanation:

 From the question we are told that

     The generally equation for the mechanical wave is

                    y(x,t) = Acos (kx -wt)

     The speed of the transverse wave is v = 8.25 \ m/s

     The amplitude of the transverse wave is A = 5.50 *10^{-2} m

     The wavelength of the transverse wave is \lambda = 0540 m

      At t= 0.150s , x = 1.51 m

 The angular frequency of the wave is mathematically represented as

          w = vk

Substituting values  

         w = 8.25 * 11.64

        w = 96.03 \ rad/s

The propagation constant k is mathematically represented as

                  k = \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}

Substituting values

                  k = \frac{2 * 3.142}{0. 540}

                   k =11.64 m^{-1}

Substituting values into the equation for mechanical waves

      y(1.51 , 0.150) = (5.50*10^{-2} ) cos ((11.64 * 1.151 ) - (96.03  * 0.150))

       y(1.51 , 0.150) = 0.055 m

What is the S.I. unit of drift velocity and electron mobility?
DanielleElmas [232]
Drift velocity is equal to displacement of the moving object per unit time. The SI unit for displacement is meters while that of time is second. Hence the derived SI unit of velocity is meter per second. This also applies to electron mobility which relates to the displacement per unit time of a moving electron
