The definition of speed is (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

So a unit of speed has to be (a unit of length) / (a unit of time) .

Here are several perfectly fine units of speed:

-- miles per hour

-- feet per second

-- meters per second

-- kilometers per hour

-- inches per second

-- centimeters per minute

-- yards per Century

-- furlongs per fortnight

-- nanometers per microsecond

-- Smoots per week

-- parsecs per millenium

8.) If a car moving at 50km/h skids 15m with locked brakes, how far does the same car moving at 100km/h
pantera1 [17]

(8) A car starting with a speed <em>v</em> skids to a stop over a distance <em>d</em>, which means the brakes apply an acceleration <em>a</em> such that

0² - <em>v</em>² = 2 <em>a</em> <em>d</em> → <em>a</em> = - <em>v</em>² / (2<em>d</em>)

Then the car comes to rest over a distance of

<em>d</em> = - <em>v</em>² / (2<em>a</em>)

Doubling the starting speed gives

- (2<em>v</em>)² / (2<em>a</em>) = - 4<em>v</em>² / (2<em>a</em>) = 4<em>d</em>

so the distance traveled is quadrupled, and it would move a distance of 4 • 15 m = 60 m.

Alternatively, you can explicitly solve for the acceleration, then for the distance:

A car starting at 50 km/h ≈ 13.9 m/s skids to a stop in 15 m, so locked brakes apply an acceleration <em>a</em> such that

0² - (13.9 m/s)² = 2 <em>a</em> (15 m) → <em>a</em> ≈ -6.43 m/s²

So the same car starting at 100 km/h ≈ 27.8 m/s skids to stop over a distance <em>d</em> such that

0² - (27.8 m/s)² = 2 (-6.43 m/s²) <em>d</em> → <em>d</em> ≈ 60 m

(9) Pushing the lever down 1.2 m with a force of 50 N amounts to doing (1.2 m) (50 N) = 60 J of work. So the load on the other end receives 60 J of potential energy. If the acceleration due to gravity is taken to be approximately 10 m/s², then the load has a mass <em>m</em> such that

60 J = <em>m g h</em>

where <em>g</em> = 10 m/s² and <em>h</em> is the height it is lifted, 1.2 m. Solving for <em>m</em> gives

<em>m</em> = (60 J) / ((10 m/s²) (1.2 m)) = 5 kg

(10) Is this also multiple choice? I'm not completely sure, but something about the weight of the tractor seems excessive. It would help to see what the options might be.

The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a material one degree is
charle [14.2K]
The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a material to one degree is called D. its heat capacity.

The relationship of the heat when applied to the object and the change in temperature of the object when heat is being applied is directly proportional to each other. This means that when heat is applied to the object, the temperature of the object increases and when heat is not applied to the object, the temperature of the object decreases.

Please help<br><br><br> ____________ is the type of energy due to motion.
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
I believe the answer would be Kinetic Energy. Kinetic energy is defined as energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion. We weren’t given answer choices so I don’t have much to work with lol.
