the gasoline in a car does 40000 j of work on a car and generates a constant force of 20 n. how far did the car go?

1 answer:

8 0

   Work = (force) x (distance)

   40,000 J = (20 N) x (distance)

   Distance = (40,000 J) / (20 N)

=    2,000 meters

= 2 kilometers.

(20 N is not a huge force when it's being used to move a car.
It's only about 4.5 pounds.)

A car with a mass of 600 kg is traveling at a velocity of 10 m/s. How much kinetic energy does it have?

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

KE = 30,000 J

Explanation:

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ mv²

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ (600)(10)²

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ (600)(100)

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ (60000)

KE = 30,000 J

What is the force on a box that is being pushed to the right with 50n of force while, at the same time, being pushed to the left

elena-s [515]

I think the question meant to say net force on the box. Since force is a vector, the direction matters. 20N left is negated completely by the 50N right, which means the net force is 50N-20N to the right, 30N.

Will Mark Brainliest if Correct PLZ!!!!! A bullet is shot at some angle above the horizontal at an initial velocity of 87m/s on

qaws [65]

Answer:

≅50°

Explanation:

We have a bullet flying through the air with only gravity pulling it down, so let's use one of our kinematic equations:

Δx=V₀t+at²/2

And since we're using Δx, V₀ should really be the initial velocity in the x-direction. So:

Δx=(V₀cosθ)t+at²/2

Now luckily we are given everything we need to solve (or you found the info before posting here):
