What energy transformation happening when starting a car

Physics

Answer:

Explanation:

We're starting a car. We have the fuel in the engine, and when the engine starts, that fuel is converted into power to move the car. The fuel is made of chemicals, right? Propane, gasoline, so on. What kind of energy comes from chemicals? Chemical energy, right?

That fuel is chemical energy, and the energy to move the car must be kinetic/mechanical energy. However, that's not the only source of mechanical energy.

There's another source of mechanical energy here as well: we have an electric battery. What kind of energy is found in a battery? The battery has electricity, and so it has electrical energy. Some of that electrical energy turns into mechanical energy when the car starts up.

But the engine heats up as well, right? There's one more energy that the electrical energy and chemical energy produce here: thermal energy. That's the source of the heat.

I hope this makes sense for you. Have a wonderful day!

An airplane flies 1,592 miles east from phoenix, Arizona, to Atlanta, Georgia, in 3.68 hours. What is the average velocity of th

KiRa [710]

Answer:

433 mph

Explanation:

We know that

$Velocity =\frac{Distance}{Time }$ ...Eq(1)

Here,

Distance =1,592 miles

Time=3.68 hours

Putting the value of distance and Time in the Eq(1) We get

Velocity = $\frac{1592\ miles}{3.68\ hours}$

$Velocity = 432.608\ mph\\Velocity = 433 mph$

therefore Average velocity is 433 mph

A father racing his son has 1/2 the kinetic energy of the son, who has 1/3 the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.4 m

BaLLatris [955]

Answer: a) 0.78 m/s b) 1.57 m/s

Explanation:

M = father's mass

 m = son's mass = M/3

 V = father's initial speed

 v = son's initial speed  (1/2)MV^2 = (1/2)*(1/2)*m v^2

 M*V^2 = (1/2)(M/3)v^2

 V^2/v^2 = 1/4

 V = v/2  Second equation:

 (1/2)M*(V + 1.4)^2 = (1/2)m*v^2

 = (1/2)*(M/3)*(3V)^2

 cancel out the M's and (1/2)'s

 (V + 1.4)^2 = 3V^2

 V^2 + 2.8V + 1.96 = 3V^2

 V^2 -1.4V -0.98 = 0

V^2 = 0.98/0.4 = 2.45

V = 1.57

Which of kepler’s laws explains why the sun has a slightly larger angular diameter in january than in july?

Bond [772]

Kepler’s three law is the answer. Kepler’s 3 is the amount of time it takes to orbit the sun is related to size and distance. Kepler’s 3 is one of the planetary motion and can be stated as all planets move in elliptical orbits, having the sun sits at one of the foci.

When you irradiate a metal with light of wavelength 433 nm in an investigation of the photoelectric effect, you discover that a

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The right solution is:

(a) 2.87 eV

(b) 1.4375 eV

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength,

= 433 nm

Potential difference,

= 1.43 V

Now,

(a)

The energy of photon will be:

E = $\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{433\times 10^{-9}}$

= $4.59\times 10^{-19} \ J$

or,

= $\frac{4.59\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

= $2.87 \ eV$

(b)

As we know,

⇒ $Vq=\frac{hc}{\lambda}-\Phi_0$

By substituting the values, we get

⇒ $1.43\times 1.6\times 10^{19}=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{433\times 10^{-9}}-\Phi_0$

⇒ $\Phi_0=2.3\times 10^{-19} \ J$

or,

⇒ $=\frac{2.3\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

⇒ $=1.4375 \ eV$

A rectangular gasoline tank can hold 50.0 kg of gasoline when full. What is the depth of the tank if it is 0.500-m wide by 0.900

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

0.16 m

Explanation:

A rectangular gasoline tank can hold 50.0 kg of gasoline when full, and the density of gasoline is 6.8 × 10² kg/m³. We can find the volume occupied by the gasoline (volume of the tank).

50.0 kg × (1 m³/6.8 × 10² kg) = 0.074 m³

The volume of the rectangular tank is:

volume = width × length × depth

depth = volume / width × length

depth = 0.074 m³ / 0.500 m × 0.900 m

depth = 0.16 m
