Answer:

Work done by the frictional force is $3.41\times 10^5\ J$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

Initial velocity of car, u = 26.1 m/s

Finally, it comes to rest, v = 0

We have to find the work done by the frictional forces. Work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy as per work - energy theorem i.e.

$W=k_f-k_i$

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

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1000\ kg(0^2-(26.1\ m/s)^2)$

W = −340605 J

or

$W=3.41\times 10^5\ J$

Hence, the correct option is (a).

¿que es la energia interna?

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

La energía interna es el resultado de la contribución de la energía cinética de las moléculas o átomos que lo constituyen, de sus energías de rotación, traslación y vibración, además de la energía potencial intermolecular debida a las fuerzas de tipo gravitatorio, electromagnético y nuclear.

Suppose you wanted to hold up an electron against the force of gravity by the attraction of a fixed proton some distance above i

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The value is $r = 5.077 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The Coulomb constant is $k = 9.0 *10^{9} \ N\cdot m^2 /C^2$

The charge on the electron/proton is $e = 1.6*10^{-19} \ C$

The mass of proton $m_{proton} = 1.67*10^{-27} \ kg$

The mass of electron is $m_{electron } = 9.11 *10^{-31} \ kg$

Generally for the electron to be held up by the force gravity

Then

Electric force on the electron = The gravitational Force

i.e

$m_{electron} * g = \frac{ k * e^2 }{r^2 }$

$\frac{9*10^9 * (1.60 *10^{-19})^2 }{r^2 } = 9.11 *10^{-31 } * 9.81$

$r = \sqrt{25.78}$

$r = 5.077 \ m$

Two long, straight wires both carry current to the right, are parallel, and are 25 cm apart. Wire one carries a current of 2.0 A

Artemon [7]

Answer:

x = 7.14 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Current in wire 1, $I_1=2\ A$

Current in wire 2, $I_2=5\ A$

Distance between parallel wires, r = 25 cm

Let at P point the net magnetic field equal to 0. The magnetic field at a point midway between the is given by :

$B=\dfrac{\mu_oI}{2\pi r}$

Let the distance is x from wire 1. So,

$\dfrac{I_1}{r}=\dfrac{I_2}{(0.25-r)}$

$\dfrac{2}{r}=\dfrac{5}{(25-r)}$

$x=\dfrac{50}{7}\ m$

x = 7.14 meters

So, the magnetic field will be 0 at a distance of 7.14 meters from wire 1. Hence, this is the required solution.

In a lesson about the behavior of gases, Genaris and her classmates learn that the volume of a gas is affected by its temperatur

Liula [17]

<span>To know if there were other factors that affected the volume of a gas, Genaris and her classmates should: </span>"formulate a new hypothesis with the same dependent variable but a different independent variable as the original hypothesis." In this case, the dependent variable is the volume of the gas and the new independent variable is a factor they think will affect the volume of the gas.
