Answer:

2667 N

Explanation:

<h2>Method 1: Impulse </h2>

We can solve this problem by using the impulse formula.

  • FΔt = mΔv  
  • Δt = time interval, m = mass of the car (kg), Δv = change in velocity

We have three known variables, so we can solve for the fourth: F.

Divide Δt from both sides to isolate F.

  • F = (mΔv)/Δt  

Substitute known values into the equation.

  • F = [(1200 kg)(10 m/s -  0 m/s)] / 4.5 s
  • F = [(1200)(10)]/4.5
  • F = 12000/4.5
  • F = 2666.666667 N

The force that the car's tires exert on the road is 2667 N.

<h2>Method 2: Newton's Second Law</h2>

The force that the car's tires exert on the road is equivalent to the force that the road exerts on the car due to Newton's Third Law of Motion.

We can calculate the force that the car's tires exert on the road by using the formula F = ma, which was derived from Newton's Second Law of Motion.

  • F = ma
  • F = force exerted on the car, m = mass of the car (kg), a = acceleration of the car (m/s²)

We are given the mass of the car, velocity of the car, and the time in which it accelerated.

We can use this equation for acceleration:

  • a = Δv/Δt
  • Δv = final velocity - initial velocity (change in velocity), Δt = time interval

The car started from rest, meaning it had an initial velocity of 0 m/s. Its final velocity was 10 m/s. The time that it took for the car to go from 0 m/s to 10 m/s was 4.5 seconds.

  • a = (10 m/s - 0 m/s) / 4.50 s
  • a = 10/4.5
  • a = 2.222... m/s²

Now we have two known variables, mass and acceleration. We can solve for the force exerted on the car (and thus, the force the car exerts on the road) using the formula F = ma.

  • F = ma
  • F = (1200 kg)(2.222... m/s²)
  • F = 1200 · 2.222...
  • F = 2666.666667 N

The force that the car's tires exert on the road is 2667 N.

Explanation:

Water blasting refers application of pressurized water to remove materials from the surface of objects.

There are different varieties of water blasting, including;

Hydrocleaning; Cleaning enabled by the use of high pressure water

Hydrodemolition; Demolition or removal of concrete using pressurized water

Hydrojetting; The spraying of water under pressure on surfaces in order to remove surface contaminants.

Which of the following statements are true at some time during the course of the motion? Check all that apply. Check all that ap
eduard

Answer:

The object can have zero velocity and, simultaneously, nonzero acceleration.

The object can have zero acceleration and, simultaneously, nonzero velocity.

The object can have nonzero velocity and nonzero acceleration simultaneously.

Explanation:

An object in simple harmonic motion has a total mechanical energy (sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy) that is constant:

E=U+K=1/2kx^2 + 1/2}mv^2

where,

k is equal to the spring constant

x is equal to the displacement

m is the mass

v is the speed

We can note that the force on the spring is given by Hook's law:

F=-kx

In Newton's law F = ma, this can be also be written as

ma=-kx

a=-k/mx

This implies that the acceleration is proportional to the displacement.

From the first equation, we can now states that:

When the displacement is zero, x=0, the acceleration is zero, a=0, and the velocity is maximum

When the velocity is zero, v=0, the acceleration is maximum, which occurs when the displacement is maximum

In all the other intermediate situations, both velocity and acceleration are nonzero.

So the correct answers are

The object can have zero acceleration and, simultaneously, nonzero velocity.

The object can have nonzero velocity and nonzero acceleration simultaneously.

The object can have zero velocity and, simultaneously, nonzero acceleration.

The density of silver is 10.5 g cm3. a piece of silver with a mass of 61.3 g would ovvupy a volume of ?
natali 33 [55]
The relationship between mass m, volume V and density d is:
d= \frac{m}{V}
The silver has density d=10.5 g/cm^3, and the mass of the piece of silver is m=61.3 g. Therefore we can calculate its volume using the previous formula:
V= \frac{m}{d}= \frac{61.3 g}{10.5 g/cm^3}=5.84 cm^3
