Un automovil transita por una curva en forma de U y recorre una distancia de 400m en 30s sin embargo su posición final está a so
pochemuha

Answer:

Definimos:

Rapidez media es igual al cociente entre la distancia recorrida y el tiempo que se tarda en recorrer esa distancia.

En este caso la distancia recorrida es 400m, y el tiempo que se tarda es 30s, entonces la rapidez media va a ser:

RM = 400m/30s = 13.33 m/s

La velocidad media por otro lado, es igual al cociente entre el desplazamiento y el tiempo necesario para desplazarse.

El desplazamiento es igual a la distancia entre la posición final y la posición inicial, que en este caso eso 40m, y el tiempo necesario sigue siendo 30s, entonces la velocidad media va a ser:

VM = 40m/30s = 1.33 m/s

Which best describes how energy changes form in a car's engine?
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Multiple transformations occur because the chemical energy of the fuel is changed to several forms of energy

Explanation:

In a car engine, multiple energy transformation takes place. The chemical energy storef in fuel is transformed into mechanical energy which helps move the wheels of the vehicle.

The mechanical energy can also be transformed into electrical energy through a sort of dynamo system in vehicles. Stereo players use the electrical energy to produce sound.

We see that multiple energy conversions are common in a motor car.

Seema knows the mass of a basketball. What other information is needed to find the ball’s potential energy?
adelina 88 [10]

Potential energy can be found using this formula:

PE= m * g * h

where:

PE= potential energy

m=mass

g=gravitational acceleration constant (9.8 m/s^2)

h= height

So your answer is height because you also use the gravitational constant.

Water at room temperature is discharged from a pipe at a rate of 1000 gallons per minute (gpm). Express this flow rate in cubic
marshall27 [118]

Answer

given,

discharge rate from pipe = 1000 gallons/minutes

now,

flow rate in  cubic meters per second

1 gallon = 0.00378541 m³

1 min = 60 s

Q = 1000\times \dfrac{0.00378541\ m^3}{1\ gallon}\times \dfrac{1\ min}{60\ s}

Q = 0.063 m³/s

flow rate in  liters per minute

1 gallon = 3.78541 L

 Q = 1000\times \dfrac{3.78541\ m^3}{1\ gallon}

 Q = 3785.41 m³/min

flow rate in cubic feet per second

 1 gallon = 0.133681 ft³

 1 min = 60 s

Q = 1000\times \dfrac{0.133681\ ft^3}{1\ gallon}\times \dfrac{1\ min}{60\ s}

Q = 2.23 ft³/s
