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

What's the opposite of vaporization

Nesterboy [21]

Condensation. Remember, Vaporization happens when energy is taken in (enfothermic) the opposite will be the process that releases energy ( exothermic) which will be condensation. Put ice in a glass of water. the ice melts, taking in energy from the water in the glass, which in turn takes heat energy away from the vapor in the surrounding air, thus causing the water vapor in the air to condense.

What is the energy stored between 2 Carbon nuclei that are 1.00 nm apart from each other? HINT: Carbon nuclei have 6 protons and

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

$A. 8.29\times 10^{-18}\ J$

Explanation:

Given that:

p = magnitude of charge on a proton = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

k = Boltzmann constant = $9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

r = distance between the two carbon nuclei = 1.00 nm = $1.00\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Since a carbon nucleus contains 6 protons.

So, charge on a carbon nucleus is $q = 6p=6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C=9.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

We know that the electric potential energy between two charges q and Q separated by a distance r is given by:

$U = \dfrac{kQq}{r}$

So, the potential energy between the two nuclei of carbon is as below:

$U= \dfrac{kqq}{r}\\\Rightarrow U = \dfrac{kq^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow U = \dfrac{9\times10^9\times (9.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{1.0\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow U =8.29\times 10^{-18}\ J$
