Using the kinematic equation below we can determine the distance traveled if t=2, a=7.4m/s^2.  First we must determine the final velocity:

v_{final}=v_{initial}+\frac{1}{2}at\\\\v_{final}=0+(7.4m/s^2)(2s)=34.8m/s

Now we will determine the distance traveled:

v_{final}^2=v_{initial}^2+2a \Delta x\\\\\Delta x = \frac{v_{final}^2}{2a} =\frac{(34.8)^2}{(2)(7.4)}=81.83 m

Therefore, the drag racer traveled 81.83 meters in 2 seconds.

(7) A 2500 lbm car moving at 25 mi/hr is accelerated at a constant rate of 15 ft/s2 up to a speed of 50 mi/hr. What is the force
balandron [24]

Answer:

The  force is  F =  1164.6\  lbf

The time is   \Delta t =  2.44 \  s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  mass of the car is  m  =  2500 \ lbm

   The  initial velocity of the car is u  =  25 \ mi/hr

   The final  velocity of the car is  v  =  50 \  mi/hr

  The acceleration is  a =  15 ft/s^2 =  \frac{15 *  3600^2}{ 5280} =  36818.2 \  mi/h^2

   

Generally the acceleration is mathematically represented as

      a =  \frac{v-u}{\Delta t}

=>   36818.2 =  \frac{50 - 25 }{ \Delta t}

=>   t = 0.000679 \  hr

converting to seconds

       \Delta t =  0.0000679 *  3600

=>     \Delta t =  2.44 \  s

Generally the force is mathematically represented as

        F  =  m * a

=>      F  =  2500 *  15

=>      F  =  37500 \ \frac{lbm *  ft}{s^2}

Now converting to foot-pound-second we have  

         F =  \frac{37500}{32.2}

=>        F =  1164.6\  lbf

Fill in the blanks below:<br><br> Urgently need help!!!
miskamm [114]

Answer:

In a circuit ,<u> VOLTAGE </u>can be said to be the "source" or the "push of electrons". This push then creates what is known as a <u> CURRENT , </u>which is the flow of electric charge through the circuit. This flow can the slowed down or restricted by <u>RESISTOR </u>, and this is also what can be harnessed in order to use electric <u>ENERGY </u>.

Explanation:

Voltage:

It is the 'push' that causes charges to move in a wire or other electrical conductor, also it is a Source input to the electric circuit.

Measured in Volts.

Current:

An electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge from a point or through a region.

Measured in Ampere.

Resistor:

Resistor is used to resist the flow of charge or to resist the current called as Resistance.

Measured in Ohms.

Electric Energy:

Electrical energy is a form of energy resulting from the flow of electric charge.

Measured in Joules.

In a circuit , voltage can be said to be the "source" or the "push of electrons". This push then creates what is known as a current, which is the flow of electric charge through the circuit.

A body starting from rest and moves with uniform acceleration. The velocities of the body are 40 m/s at the 4th second and 60 m/
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

GIVEN

u is 40m/s and v=60m/s

time is 4s

therefore acceleration =60-40/4

=20/4=5m/s^2

b)next 2 sec=70m/s

To heat the house, the boiler transfers 15 MJ of energy in 10 minutes.
Harrizon [31]

The formula is P = E/t, where P means power in watts, E means energy j , and t means time in seconds. This formula states that power is the consumption of energy per unit of time.

P = 15 M / 10*60

M = mega = 10⁶

15 *10⁶ / 600

= 25000 watt

Use these relationships to determine the number of calories to change 1.5 kg of 0∘c ice water to 1.5 kg of 100∘c boiling water.
aivan3 [116]
The latent heat of fusion of water is 80 cal/g.
The specific heat of water is 1 cal/g-C.
The latent heat of vaporization of water is 540 cal/g.
Therefore, if we have 1.5 kg = 1500 g, the total heat requirement is:
1500 g[(80 cal/g) + (1 cal/g-C)(100 - 0)C + (540 cal/g)] = 1500 g(720 cal/g) = 1,080,000 cal.
