Answer:

Work done, W = −287500 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 920 kg

The car is travelling at a speed of, u = 90 km/h = 25 m/s

We need to find the amount of work must be done to stop this car. The final velocity of the car, v = 0

Work done is also defined as the change in kinetic energy of an object i.e.

$W=\Delta K$

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)$

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 920\ kg(0-(25\ m/s)^2)$

W = −287500 Joules

Negative sign shows the work done is done is opposite direction.

If the car goes exits a freeway and goes from 65<br> mph to 35 mph is it accelerating?

Zolol [24]

Answer:

No, the car is decelerating

Explanation:

No the car is decelerating if it exits a freeway and goes from 65

mph to 35 mph since the change in velocity is negative.

change in velocity = final - initial

change in velocity = 35 - 65

change in velocity = -30mph

Since the change in velocity is negative, hence the car is decelerating. Deceleration is a negative acceleration

The right-hand rule predicts the direction of the force on a positively charged object moving in a gravitational field true fals

eimsori [14]

The statement above is FALSE.
The right hand rule is used in physics to predict the direction of the force on a charged object moving in a MAGNETIC FIELD. The right hand rule is used to relate the relationship between the magnetic field and the forces that are exerted on the moving objects in the field. Using the right hand rule, for a positively charged object that is moving in an electric field, the pointer finger will point in the direction the charged object is moving, the middle finger will point in the direction of the magnetic field and the thumb will point in the direction of the magnetic force that is pushing the charged object.
