Consider a small car of mass 1200 kg and a large sport utility vehicle (SUV) of mass 4000 kg. The SUV is traveling at the speed

limit (v ???? 35 m/s). The driver of the small car travels so as to have the same kinetic energy as the SUV. Find the speed of the small car.

Answer:

63.9 m/s

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of small car, m = 1200 kg

Mass of SUV, M = 4000 kg

Speed of SUV, V = 35 m/s

Their kinetic energy of the small car is equal to the kinetic energy of the SUV, hence:

0.5 * m * v² = 0.5 * M * V²

=> 0.5 * 1200 * v² = 0.5 * 4000 * 35²

600 * v² = 2450000

v² = 2450000/600

v² = 4083.3

=> v = 63.9 m/s

The speed of the small car is 63.9 m/s.

Jenny and Betty are having a great time at Busch Gardens riding the Ubanga Banga bumper cars. Jenny, who is traveling southward
Alex777 [14]

Jenny is traveling southward.  In order to stop, she needs a northward acceleration.


A better way to say it:

Jenny is traveling southward in her bumper car, so the direction of her velocity is south.  In order to reduce her velocity to zero, a velocity of equal magnitude but directed north must be added to it.  Then the change in velocity is positive northward, and the change in velocity per unit time is acceleration.

Sasha lifts a couch 8.2 meters from the ground floor of her house to the attic. If the couch has a mass of 120 kg, what is the g
gavmur [86]

As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by

U = mgH

here we have

m = mass = 120 kg

g = 9.81 m/s^2

h = height = 8.2 m

now from above formula

U = 120kg (9.81 m/s^2) (8.2 m)

U = 9653.04 J

so above is the gravitational potential energy of the couch

A capacitor is to be constructed to have a capacitance of 100uF.The area of the plates is 6.om by 0.030m and the relative permit
lara [203]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that:

The area of the plates is 6 m by 0.030 m, Therefore the area = 6 m × 0.03 m =  0.18 m²

the relative permittivity of dielectric (εr) is 7.0

Permittivity of free space (εo) = 8.854 × 10^(-12)

capacitance of 100uF

potential difference (V) of 12V

d = separation between plate

The capacitance (C) of a capacitor is given by:

C=\frac{\epsilon_o \epsilon_r A }{d}\\ 100*10^{-6}=\frac{8.854*10^{-12}*7*0.18}{d}\\ d=\frac{8.854*10^{-12}*7*0.18}{100*10^{-6}}=1.11*10^{-7}\ m

The electric field between plates is given as:

E = V /d

E = 12 / 1.11*10^{-7}=10.75*10^7\ V/m

What is the meaningful of physics ​
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Physics is a branch of science. It is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines. The main goal of physics is to explain how things move in space and time and understand how the universe behaves. It studies matter, forces and their effects. The word physics comes from the Greek

A leaf fell from a tree branch. The path it followed is shown in the diagram below.
prisoha [69]

The leaf fell at the crooked path instead of straight down because air currents and gravity applied changing and unbalanced forces to the leaf.

<h3>What is an air current?</h3>

An air current is defined as the changes in atmospheric pressure that causes the movement of air from one area to another.

When a leaf is detached naturally from the tree, it won't fall straight down to the floor but will fall a distance away from the tree due to the action of air current and some unbalanced forces.
