Answer:

v = 60.62 km/h

Explanation:

Kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is that which is due to the movement of bodies and is calculted like this:

K = (1/2)mv² Formula (1)

Where:

K : Kinetic energy (J)

m: mass (kg)

v : speed (m/s)

Data for the truck

m = 15000 kg

v= 21 km/h = 21 *(1000m)/ (3600s)

v= 5.83 m/s

Calculation of the kinetic energy of the truck

We replace data in the formula (1)

K = (1/2)mv²

K = (1/2)(15000)(5.83)²

K = 255208.3 J

Data for the compact car

K = 255208.3 J =  255208.3 (N*m)

m = 1800 kg

Calculation of the speed  of the compact car

We replace data in the formula (1)

K = (1/2)mv²

255208.3 = (1/2)( 1800)(v)²

255208.3 = ( 900)(v)²

v² = 255208.3 / ( 900)

v= \sqrt{\frac{255208.3}{900} }

v = 16.84 m/s

1 km = 1000 m

1 h = 3600 s

v = 16.84*(3600/1000)km/h

v = 60.62 km/h

How many cubic feet are in a 55-gallon drum?
san4es73 [151]
1 gallon = 231 cubic inches
1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches

                       (55 gal) x (231 in³/gal) x (1 ft³/1728 in³)

                   =    (55 x 231 / 1728)  ft³

                   =         7.352 cubic feet       (rounded)

A weightlifter exerts an upward force on a 1000-N barbell and holds it at a height of 1 meter for 2 seconds. Approximately how m
Alex73 [517]

Amount of work done is zero and so power = 0 watts.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Power is the rate at which work is done, or W divided by delta t. Since the barbell is not moving, the weightlifter is not doing work on the barbell.Therefore, if the work done is zero, then the power is also zero.It may seem unusual that the data given in question is versatile i.e. A weightlifter exerts an upward force on a 1000-N barbell and holds it at a height of 1 meter for 2 seconds. But, still the answer is zero watts , this was a tricky question although conceptual basis of question was good! Power is dependent on amount of work done which is further related to displacement and here the net displacement is zero ! Hence, amount of work done is zero and so power = 0 watts.

what is the magnitude of the vector described below? 13 m/s to the east a. east b. meters per second c. 13 m/s d. meters
Katen [24]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Magnitude of any quantity is the measurable value of the quantity. While the direction of the given quantity is the specific pointing direction of position or the angle at which it move.

The magnitude of the vector described below? 13 m/s to the east will be 13 m/s

While the direction will be eastward.

Therefore, the magnitude is 13 m/s

The correct answer is option C

Describe difference between instantaneous velocity and average velocity
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The instantaneous velocity is the specific rate of change of position (or displacement) with respect to time at a single point (x,t) , while average velocity is the average rate of change of position (or displacement) with respect to time over an interval.Average velocity : Average velocity of a body is defined as the change in position or displacement (Δx) divided by time interval (Δt) in which that displacement occurs.

Instantaneous velocity : The instantaneous velocity of a body is the velocity of the body at any instant of time or at any point of its path .

velocity can be positive , negative or zero.

By studying speed and velocity we come to the result that at any time interval average speed of an object is equal or more than the average but instantaneous speed is equal to instantaneous velocity.
