A car generates 2,552 N and weighs 2,250 pounds. what is the rate of acceleration

Physics
1 answer:
Lilit [14]3 years ago
6 0
Ans: a = 2.50 m/s^2

Explanation:
First convert the mass in its standard unit i.e. kilogram(kg):
2250 lbs = 1020.583kg

Next use Newton's Second law:
F = ma

Where F = 2552N
m = 1020.583kg

=> a = (2552/1020.583)
a = 2.50 m/s^2

Which runner has greater kinetic energy: a 45 kg runner moving at a speed of 7 m per second or a 93 kg runner moving at a
bagirrra123 [75]

Kinetic Energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)

First runner:  KE = (1/2) (45kg) (49 m/s)  =  1,102.5 Joules  

Second runner:  KE = (1/2) (93kg) (9 m/s)  =  418.5 Joules

The <em>first runner </em><em>has 163</em>% more kinetic energy than the second runner has.

. Maria walked 1.5 miles south to her house in 0.5 hours. What is her speed in miles per hour?
Simora [160]

1) 3 miles/Hour

The speed is defined as the distance covered divided by the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d = 1.5 mi is the distance

t = 0.5 h is the time taken

Substituting,

v=\frac{1.5}{0.5}=3 mi/h

2) 1.34 m/s south

Velocity, instead, is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. We have:

d=1.5 mi \cdot 1609 m/mi = 2414 m is the displacement in meters

t=0.5 h \cdot 3600 s/h =1800 s is the time taken in seconds

Substituting,

v=\frac{2414 m}{1800 s}=1.34 m/s

And the direction of the velocity is the same as the displacement, so it is south.

What are the physics terms behind watching TV?
GalinKa [24]
Everyone knows that one of their favorite past times is sitting in front of the television and watching movies, shows, or playing video games. However with this almost motionless, lazy activity comes a great deal of static physics and mechanics.

When you are sitting down enjoying whatever show it is you may be watching, you actually have several forces acting on you concurrently. For example, by sitting on the couch with no extra weight on you, your weight is equivalent to the normal force, or the force of the couch on you. In addition to the force of the couch of you, if you are leaning on an arm or laying down, a similar force acts on you, except at an angle or incline. The general rule for laying on the couch watching television is that whatever force you exert on an object, that object exerts the same force in the opposite direction, or 180 degrees around.
