Answer:

The time it will take the car to travel the next 15 m is 1 s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the car, u = 0

time of motion, t = 2.4 s

initial distance traveled, d = 15 m

determine the constant acceleration of the car;

d = ut  +  ¹/₂at²

15 = 0  +  (0.5 x 2.4²)a

15 = 2.88a

a = 15 / 2.88

a = 5.21 m/s²

The velocity of the car at the end of the first 15 m

v - u + at

v = 0 + 5.21 x 2.4

v = 12.5 m/s

The time to cover the next 15 m;

d₂ = vt  + ¹/₂at²

15 = 12.5t  +  (0.5 x 5.21)t²

15 = 12.5t  +  2.61t²

0 = 2.61t²  +   12.5t   -  15

Use the formula method to solve the above quadratic equation.

a = 2.61

b = 12.5

c = -15

t = \frac{-b \ \ +/-   \ \ \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} \\\\t = \frac{-12.5 \ \ +/-   \ \ \sqrt{12.5^2 - (4\times 2.61 \times -15)} }{2\times 2.61}\\\\t = 0.9937 \ s \ \ \ or \ \ \ -5.78 \ s\\\\time \ can \ only \ be \ positive;\\\\t \approx \ 1\ s

Therefore, the time it will take the car to travel the next 15 m is 1 s.

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

9727160J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of elevator rise  = 436m

Force exerted  = 22310N

Unknown:

Work done by the elevator lifting mechanism = ?

Solution:

The work done by a body is the force applied to move a body in a specific direction;

          Work done  = force x distance moved

In this case, the force and distance moved is provided already;

        Work done  = 22310 x 436  = 9727160J

A slice of cheese has a mass of 40 g and a volume of 23 cm^3. What is the density of the cheese in units of g/cm^3 and g/mL?
Mila [183]

The mathematical and proportional relationship between mL and cm ^ 3 said us that 1cm ^ 3 is equivalent to 1mL.

If the density is considered as the amount of mass per unit volume we will have to

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

here,

m = mass

V = Volume

Replacing we have that

\rho = \frac{40g}{23cm^3}

\rho = 1.739g/cm^3

As 1mL = 1cm^3 we have that the density in g/mL is,

\rho = 1.739g/mL
