Answer:

The average power of the engine of the sports car is 56.32 kW

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the sports car, m = 1100 kg

initial velocity of the sports car, u = 0 m/s

final velocity of the sports car, v = 32 m/s

time of motion, t = 10 s

The kinetic energy of the car is given by;

K.E = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = ¹/₂ x 1100 x 32²

K.E = 563200 J

The average power of the engine of the sports car is given by;

Pavg = Energy / time

Pavg = 563200 / 10

Pavg = 56320 W

Pavg = 56.32 kW

Therefore, the average power of the engine of the sports car is 56.32 kW

What orientation of velocity and acceleration will cause something to initially speed up?

Temka [501]

-- If acceleration and velocity are in the same direction,
then the object is speeding up.

-- If acceleration and velocity are in opposite directions,
then the object is slowing down.

-- If acceleration is perpendicular to velocity, then the object
is moving on a circular curve at constant speed.

$0.4029 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ is the acceleration of the box.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given data:

Mass of the box = 3.74 kg

Flat friction-less ground is pulled forward by a 4.20 N force at a 50.0 degree angle and pulled back by a 2.25 N force at a 122 degree angle.

First, we need to find the net horizontal force acting on the box. With the given data, the equation can be formed as below. Net horizontal force acting on the box (F) is given by

$F=\left(4.20 \times \cos 50^{\circ}\right)+\left(2.25 \times \cos 122^{\circ}\right)$

$F=(4.20 \times 0.64278)+(2.25 \times-0.5299)$

F = 2.699676 – 1.192275 = 1.507 N

Next, find acceleration of the box using Newton's second law of motion. This states that the link between mass (m) of an objects and the force (F) required to accelerate it. The equation can be given as

$F=m \times acceleration\ (a)$
