One person drives 60,000 miles in a car that averages 30 miles per gallon (mpg), while another person drives 60,000 miles in a c

ar that averages 20 mpg. Over the course of the 60,000 miles, how many fewer pounds of CO2 are released by the 30 mpg car than by the 20 mpg car?

Answer:

20000 pounds

Explanation:

Generally 1 gallon of fuel burnt gives of 20 pounds of CO₂

Difference in the gallons of fuel burnt

$\dfrac{60000}{20}-\dfrac{60000}{30}=1000\ gal$

The 20 mpg car burns 1000 gallons of fuel more than the 30 mpg car

The amount of CO₂ would be

$1000\times 20=20000\ pounds$

The fewer pounds that the 30 mpg car would release is 20000 pounds

A car is traveling at a 20.0 m/s for 7.00 s and then suddenly comes to a stop over a 3 s period.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer: A) Deceleration of the car is -6.6667 m/s² while it came to stop.

B) The total distance the car travels is 200 meter during the 10 s period.

Explanation:

Given Data

Initial velocity of the car ( $v_{i}$ ) = 20.0 m/s

Final velocity of the car ( $v_{f}$ ) = 0 m/s

Time (in motion) =7.00 s

Time (in rest) =3 s

To find - A) car's deceleration while it came to a stop

B) the total distance the car travels in 10 s

A) The formula to find the deceleration is

Deceleration = (( final velocity - initial velocity ) ÷ Time) (m/s²)

Deceleration = (( $v_{f}$ ) - ( $v_{i}$ )) ÷ time (m/s²)

Deceleration = ( 0.0 - 20 ) ÷ 3 (m/s²)

Deceleration = (- 20) ÷ 3 (m/s²)

Deceleration = - 6.6667 m/s²

(NOTE : Deceleration is the opposite of acceleration so the final result must have the negative sign)

The car's deceleration is - 6.6667 m/s² while it came to a stop

B) The formula to find the distance traveled by the car is

Distance traveled by the car is equals to the product of the speed and time

Distance = Speed × Time (meter)

Distance = 20.0 × 10

Distance = 200 meters

The total distance the car travels during the period of 10 s is 200 meters

Auroras are frequently seen : B. After solar flares
The Aurora is created by an ongoing influx of particles into the Earth's existing magnetic field,
This particles originated from the Sun as part of Solar wind

A small meteorite with mass of 1 g strikes the outer wall of a communication satellite with a speed of 2Okm/s (relative to the s

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The energy coverted to heat is 200 kilojoules.

Explanation:

GIven the absence of external forces exerted both on the small meteorite and on the communication satellite, the Principle of Linear Momentum is considered and let suppose that collision is completely inelastic and that satellite is initially at rest. Hence, the expression for the satellite-meteorite system:

$m_{M}\cdot v_{M} + m_{S}\cdot v_{S} = (m_{M}+m_{S})\cdot v$

Where:

$m_{M}$ , $m_{S}$ - Masses of the small meteorite and the communication satellite, measured in kilograms.

$v_{M}$ , $v_{S}$ - Speeds of the small meteorite and the communication satellite, measured in meters per second.

$v$ - Final speed of the satellite-meteorite system, measured in meters per second.

The final speed of the satellite-meteorite system is cleared:

$v = \frac{m_{M}\cdot v_{M}+m_{S}\cdot v_{S}}{m_{M}+m_{S}}$

If $m_{M} = 1\times 10^{-3}\,kg$ , $m_{S} = 200\,kg$ , $v_{M} = 20000\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_{S} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the final speed is now calculated:

$v = \frac{(1\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot \left(20000\,\frac{m}{s} \right)+(200\,kg)\cdot \left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)}{1\times 10^{-3}\,kg+200\,kg}$

$v = 0.1\,\frac{m}{s}$

Which means that the new system remains stationary and all mechanical energy from meteorite is dissipated in the form of heat. According to the Principle of Energy Conservation and the Work-Energy Theorem, the change in the kinetic energy is equal to the dissipated energy in the form of heat:

$K_{S} + K_{M} - K - Q_{disp} = 0$

$Q_{disp} = K_{S}+K_{M}-K$

Where:

$K_{S}$ , $K_{M}$ - Initial translational kinetic energies of the communication satellite and small meteorite, measured in joules.

$K$ - Kinetic energy of the satellite-meteorite system, measured in joules.

$Q_{disp}$ - Dissipated heat, measured in joules.

The previous expression is expanded by using the definition for the translational kinetic energy:

$Q_{disp} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot [m_{M}\cdot v_{M}^{2}+m_{S}\cdot v_{S}^{2}-(m_{M}+m_{S})\cdot v^{2}]$

Given that $m_{M} = 1\times 10^{-3}\,kg$ , $m_{S} = 200\,kg$ , $v_{M} = 20000\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $v_{S} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v = 0.1\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the dissipated heat is:

$Q_{disp} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left[(1\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot \left(20000\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+(200\,kg)\cdot \left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-(200.001\,kg)\cdot \left(0.001\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}\right]$ $Q_{disp} = 200000\,J$

$Q_{disp} = 200\,kJ$

The energy coverted to heat is 200 kilojoules.

Master of physics needed

Delicious77 [7]

Hey JayDilla, I get 1/3. Here's how:
Kinetic energy due to linear motion is:
$E_{linear}= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where
$v=r \omega$
giving
$E_{linear}= \frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega ^2$

The rotational part requires the moment of inertia of a solid cylinder
$I_{cyl} = \frac{1}{2}mr^2$
Then the rotational kinetic energy is
$E_{rot}= \frac{1}{2}I \omega ^2= \frac{1}{4}mr^2 \omega ^2$
Adding the two types of energy and factoring out common terms gives
$\frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega ^2(1+ \frac{1}{2})$
Here the "1" in the parenthesis is due to linear motion and the "1/2" is due to the rotational part. Since this gives a total of 3/2 altogether, and the rotational part is due to a third of this (1/2), I say it's 1/3.
