The correct answer to the question is 1900 Joule.

CALCULATION:

As per the question, the velocity of the car v = 20.0 m/s.

The time taken by the car t = 15 seconds.

The initial force applied on the car F = 95 N.

We are asked to calculate the power of the car.

Let the displacement of the car is denoted as S.

Let the power of the car is P.

The power of a car is defined as the word done by the car per unit time.

Hence, the power P = $\frac{W}{t}$

= $\frac{\vec F.\vec S}{t}$

= $\vec F.\frac{S}{t}$

= $\vec F.\vec v$

= $Fvcos\theta$

Here, $\theta$ is the angle between force and velocity.

If $\theta= 0^{0}$ , then P = Fv.

Hence, the power of the car is calculated as -

P = 95 N × 20.0 m/s

= 1900 Joule.

Work done by the force = Force x displacement. Power = work done/time = F.s/t = F.u.t/t = F.u = 95 x 20 = 1900J. {S=ut because acceleration is zero since car is moving at constant velocity}.

A particle moves along the x axis. It is intially at the position 0.270 m, moving with velocity 0.140 m/s and acceleration -0.32

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The position of the particle is -2.34 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of position of a particle moving in a straight line with constant acceleration is the following:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the particle at a time t:

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time

a = acceleration

We have the following information:

x0 = 0.270 m

v0 = 0.140 m/s

a = -0.320 m/s²

t = 4.50 s (In the question, where it says "4.50 m/s^2" it should say "4.50 s". I have looked on the web and have confirmed it).

Then, we have all the needed data to calculate the position of the particle:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

x = 0.270 m + 0.140 m/s · 4.50 s - 1/2 · 0.320 m/s² · (4.50 s)²

x = -2.34 m

The position of the particle is -2.34 m.

As shown in the diagram, two forces act on an object. The forces have magnitudes F1 = 5.7 N and F2 = 1.9 N. What third force wil

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Second option 6.3 N at 162° counterclockwise from

F1->

Explanation:

Observe the attached image. We must calculate the sum of all the forces in the direction x and in the direction y and equal the sum of the forces to 0.

For the address x we have:

$-F_3sin(b) + F_1 = 0$

For the address and we have:

$-F_3cos(b) + F_2 = 0$

The forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ are known

$F_1 = 5.7\ N\\\\F_2 = 1.9\ N$

We have 2 unknowns ( $F_3$ and b) and we have 2 equations.

Now we clear $F_3$ from the second equation and introduce it into the first equation.

$F_3 = \frac{F_2}{cos (b)}$

Then

$-\frac{F_2}{cos (b)}sin(b)+F_1 = 0\\\\F_1 = \frac{F_2}{cos (b)}sin(b)\\\\F_1 = F_2tan(b)\\\\tan(b) = \frac{F_1}{F_2}\\\\tan(b) = \frac{5.7}{1.9}\\\\tan^{-1}(\frac{5.7}{1.9}) = b\\\\b= 72\°\\\\m = b +90\\\\\m= 162\°$

Then we find the value of $F_3$

$F_3 = \frac{F_1}{sin(b)}\\\\F_3 =\frac{5.7}{sin(72\°)}\\\\F_3 = 6.01 N$

Finally the answer is 6.3 N at 162° counterclockwise from

F1->

A thin walled spherical shell is rolling on a surface. What

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

$=\frac{1/3}{5/6} = 0.4$

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of given shell $= \frac{2}{3} MR^2$

where

M represent sphere mass

R -sphere radius

we know linear speed is given as $v = r\omega$

translational $K.E = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} m(r\omega)^2$

rotational $K.E = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 = \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{3} MR^2 \omega^2$

total kinetic energy will be

$K.E = \frac{1}{2} m(r\omega)^2 + \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{3} MR^2 \omega^2$

$K.E =\frac{5}{6} MR^2 \omega^2$

fraction of rotaional to total K.E

$=\frac{1/3}{5/6} = 0.4$

The drawing shows a hydraulic chamber with a spring (spring constant = 1600 N/m) attached to the input piston and a rock of mass

Triss [41]

Answer:

$\Delta x=245\ mm$

Explanation:

Given:

spring constant of the spring attached to the input piston, $k=1600\ N.m^{-1}$

mass subjected to the output plunger, $m=40\ kg$

<u>Now, the force due to the mass:</u>

$F=m.g$

$F=40\times 9.8$

$F=392\ N$

<u>Compression in Spring:</u>

$\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}$

$\Delta x=\frac{392}{1600}$

$\Delta x=0.245\ m$

or

$\Delta x=245\ mm$
