Answer:

a) F = 882.63\,N, b) \dot W= 4413.15\,W, c) \eta = 15.216\,\%.

Explanation:

a) Let assume that car travel on a horizontal surface. The equations of equilibrium of the car are:

\Sigma F_{x} = F - \mu_{r}\cdot N = 0

\Sigma F_{y} = N - m\cdot g = 0

After some algebraic handling, the following expression for the propulsion force is constructed:

F = \mu_{r}\cdot m \cdot g

F = (0.06)\cdot (1500\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )

F = 882.63\,N

b) The power require to move the car at a speed of 5 meters per second is:

\dot W = F\cdot v

\dot W = (882.63\,N)\cdot (5\,\frac{m}{s} )

\dot W= 4413.15\,W

c) The efficiency of the car is:

\eta = \frac{(882.63\,N)\cdot (15\,mi)\cdot (\frac{1609\,m}{1\,mi} )}{(1.4\times 10^{8}\,J)} \times 100\,\%

\eta = 15.216\,\%

If an object moves twice as fast how do you think its energy changes? halves
il63 [147K]

Answer:

If an object moves twice as fast its kinetic energy quadruples.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy (K₁) of a body of mass (m) that moves with speed (v) is:

K₁= 1/2 * m* v²

If we double the speed of the body, its kinetic energy (K₂) will be:

K₂= 1/2 * m*( 2v)²

K₂= 1/2 * m* 4 *v²

K₂= 4(1/2 * m *v²)

K₂= 4*K₁
