Answer:

The power expended by the car during the acceleration is 116.38KW

Explanation:

Power is a term that defines the rate at which energy is expended whenever work is done.

Power can be given as Force X velocity.

Force can be found using the formula:

F = mass X acceleration.

In this case,

F = 1100kg X 4.6m/s2

F = 5060 N

The final velocity, v of the car can be obtained from this formula:

v = u+ at

U = initial velocity = 0 (since the car started from rest)

a = acceleration = 4.6m/s2

t = time = 5 seconds

v = 0 + 4.6 X 5 = 23 m/s

Therefore, the power expended is 5060N X 23m/s=116,380W

The power expended by the car during the acceleration is 116.38KW

Please answer this question for me and explain why.

Answer:

D.None of these

Explanation:

The derivation of acceleration formula:

Let us call the 5kg mass $m_2$ and the 4kg mass $m_1$ . If the tension in the string is $T$ then for the mass $m_2$

(1). $T-m_2g=-m_2a$ <em>(the negative sign on the right side indicates that acceleration is downwards)</em>

And for the mass $m_1$

(2). $T-m_1g =m_1a$ <em> (the acceleration is upwards, hence the positive sign)</em>

Solving for $T$ in the 2nd equation we get:

$T =m_1a+m_1g$ ,

and putting this into the 1st equation we get:

$m_1a+m_1g-m_2g=-m_2a\\\\m_1a+m_2a = m_2g-m_1g\\\\a(m_1+m_2)= (m_2-m_1)g$

$\boxed{a= \dfrac{(m_2-m_1)}{(m_1+m_2)} g}$

Back to the question:

Using the formula for the acceleration we find

$a= \dfrac{(5kg-4kg)}{(5kg+4kg)} g$

$a = \dfrac{g}{9},$

which is the acceleration that none of the given choices offer. Also, the acceleration of the two blocks is the same, because if it weren't, the difference in the instantaneous velocities of the objects would cause the string to break. Therefore, these two reasons make us decide that none of the choices are correct.

In an economy, the demand for labor is given by the equation W = 15 - (1/200) L and the supply of labor is given by the equation

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

the equilibrium wage rate is 10 and the equilibrium quantity of labor is 1000 workers

Explanation:

The equilibrium wage rate and the equilibrium quantity of labor are found as the point where the equation of demand intercepts the equation of supply, so the equilibrium quantity of labor is:

$W_{Demand} = W_{Supply}$

15 - (1/200) L = 5 + (1/200) L

15 - 5 = (1/200) L + (1/200) L

10 = (2/200) L

(10*200)/2 = L

1000 = L

Then, the equilibrium wage rate is calculated using either the equation of demand for labor or the equation of supply of labor. If we use the equation of demand for labor, we get:

W = 15 - (1/200) L

W = 15 - (1/200) 1000

W = 10

Finally, the equilibrium wage rate is 10 and the equilibrium quantity of labor is 1000 workers

Which describes the best approach when conducting a scientific experiment

IgorC [24]

When conducting and experiment you want to have a notebook and something to write down notes with so you can keep everything organized and proper, and to not miss anything in the experiment. Also you want to have everything in order of the way it should be in.

I hope you found this helpful!
