A 1,100 kg car is traveling initially 20 m/s when the brakes are applied. The brakes apply a constant force while bringing the c

ar to rest.
To the nearest kilojoule, how much work is performed by the brakes in bringing the car to rest?

Answer:

Work done = -220,000 Joules.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass = 1100kg

Initial velocity = 20m/s

To find workdone, we would calculate the kinetic energy possessed by the car.

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}

Where,

  • K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.
  • M represents mass measured in kilograms.
  • V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}*1100*20^{2}

K.E = 550*400

K.E = 220,000J

Therefore, the workdone to bring the car to rest would be -220,000 Joules because the braking force is working to oppose the motion of the car.

Force F acts between a pair of charges, q1 and q2, separated by a distance d. For each of the statements, use the drop-down menu
lora16 [44]

The initial force between the two charges is given by:

F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 the two charges, d their separation. Let's analyze now the other situations:

1. F

In this case, q1 is halved, q2 is doubled, but the distance between the charges remains d.

So, we have:

q_1' = \frac{q_1}{2}\\q_2' = 2 q_2\\d' = d

So, the new force is:

F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{(\frac{q_1}{2})(2q_2)}{d^2}=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=F

So the force has not changed.

2. F/4

In this case, q1 and q2 are unchanged. The distance between the charges is doubled to 2d.

So, we have:

q_1' = q_1\\q_2' = q_2\\d' = 2d

So, the new force is:

F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{q_1 q_2)}{(2d)^2}=\frac{1}{4} k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=\frac{F}{4}

So the force has decreased by a factor 4.

3. 6F

In this case, q1 is doubled and q2 is tripled. The distance between the charges remains d.

So, we have:

q_1' = 2 q_1\\q_2' = 3 q_2\\d' = d

So, the new force is:

F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{(2 q_1)(3 q_2)}{d^2}=6 k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=6F

So the force has increased by a factor 6.

A car is traveling at a speed of 54 km/h. Breaks are applied so as to produce a uniform acceleration of -0.5 m/s2. Find how far
Lena [83]

Explanation:

u=54 km/h

54*5/18=15 m/s

v=0m/s

t=?

acceleration=-0.5m/s^2

we know that a=v-u/t

so,

t=v-u/a

t=15-0/0.5

=15/0.5

=30

therefore, the time is 30 second

Hope this answer helps you..
