A car is strapped to a rocket (combined mass = 661 kg), and its kinetic energy is 66,120 J.

Physics

Answer:

9.4 m/s

Explanation:

The work-energy theorem states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object.

So we can write:

W=K_f - K_i

where in this problem:

W = -36.733 J is the work performed on the car (negative because its direction is opposite to the motion of the car)

K_i = 66,120 J is the initial kinetic energy of the car

K_f is the final kinetic energy

Solving for Kf,

K_f = W+K_i = -36,733+66,120=29,387 J

The kinetic energy of the car can be also written as

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where:

m = 661 kg is the mass of the car

v is its final speed

Solving, we find

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(29,387)}{661}}=9.4 m/s

An automobile with 0.500 m radius tires travels 80,000 km before wearing them out. How many revolutions do the tires make, negle
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

n = 25,464,790.89 revolutions

The tires have made 25,464,790.89 revolutions

Explanation:

Given;

Radius of tires r = 0.5 m

Total distance travelled d = 80,000 km = 80,000,000 m

1 revolution = 2πr

Total distance d = number of revolutions n × 2πr

d = n×2πr

d = 2πnr

Making n the subject of formula;

n = d/2πr

Substituting the given values;

n = (80,000,000)/(2×π×0.5)

n = 25,464,790.89470 revolutions

n = 25,464,790.89 revolutions

The tires have made 25,464,790.89 revolutions

Shawn and his bike have a total mass of
Trava [24]

Answer:

Shawn's kinetic energy is 61.45 J.

Explanation:

Given;

Mass of the system is, m=52.3\ kg

Displacement of the bike is, d=1.6\ km=1.6\times 1000=1600\ m

Time taken is, t=17.4\ min=17.4\times 60=1044\ s

Let the constant velocity be v.

For constant velocity, magnitude of velocity is given as distance by time.

Therefore, v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{1600}{1044}=1.533\ m/s

Now, kinetic energy of a body is given as:

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Here, m=52.3\ kg,\ v=1.533\ m/s

\therefore KE=\frac{1}{2}\times 52.3\times (1.533)^2\\KE=0.5\times 52.3\times 2.35\\KE=61.45\ J

Therefore, Shawn's kinetic energy is 61.45 J.

List 10 uses of metals​
algol [13]

Answer:

Shiny metals such as copper, silver, and gold are often used for decorative arts, jewelry, and coins.

Strong metals such as iron and metal alloys such as stainless steel are used to build structures, ships, and vehicles including cars, trains, and trucks.

Some metals have specific qualities that dictate their use. For example, copper is a good choice for wiring because it is particularly good at conducting electricity. Tungsten is used for the filaments of light bulbs because it glows white-hot without melting.

Nonmetals are plentiful and useful. These are among the most commonly used:

Oxygen, a gas, is absolutely essential to human life. Not only do we breathe it and use it for medical purposes, but we also use it as an important element in combustion.

Sulfur is valued for its medical properties and as an important ingredient in many chemical solutions. Sulfuric acid is an important tool for industry, used in batteries and manufacturing.

Chlorine is a powerful disinfectant. It is used to purify water for drinking and fill swimming pools.
