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.

Mary was looking out of the window she saw lightening and then heard thunder a few seconds later explain why she saw lightening
alekssr [168]

Explanation:

It is based upon the fact that " The light travels faster then sound." As the speed of light is faster then the speed of sound, light travels 300,000 km per second and sound travels 1192 km per hour. That is why we observe the lightening first and hear the the sound of thunder later.

        You can do this experiment by yourself. Once you see the lightening start counting the seconds until you hear the sound of thunder.Then divide the seconds by 5, you will find out how many miles away the lightening strike was.

Add the vectors:
Anettt [7]

Vector 1 has components

x_1=(10\,\mathrm m)\cos20^\circ\approx9.40\,\mathrm m

y_1=(10\,\mathrm m)\sin20^\circ\approx3.42\,\mathrm m

and vector 2 has

x_2=(10\,\mathrm m)\cos80^\circ\approx1.74\,\mathrm m

y_2=(10\,\mathrm m)\sin80^\circ\approx9.85\,\mathrm m

Add these vectors to get the resultant, which has components

x_{\rm total}\approx11.133\,\mathrm m

y_{\rm total}\approx13.268\,\mathrm m

The magnitude of the resultant is

\sqrt{{x_{\rm total}}^2+{y_{\rm total}}^2}\approx17.321\,\mathrm m

with direction \theta such that

\tan\theta=\dfrac{y_{\rm total}}{x_{\rm total}}\implies\theta\approx50^\circ

or about 50º N of E.

A ball is dropped off the roof of a tall building. If the ball reaches the ground in 8 seconds, how tall is the building, in met
Ghella [55]

Let <em>b</em> be the height of the building, and <em>y</em> the height of the ball at time <em>t</em>, given by

<em>y</em> = <em>b</em> - 1/2 <em>gt</em>²

where <em>g</em> = 9.8 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

It takes the ball 8 s to reach the ground, at which point <em>y</em> = 0, so that

0 = <em>b</em> - 1/2 (9.8 m/s²) (8 s)²

<em>b</em> = 1/2 (9.8 m/s²) (8 s)²

<em>b</em> = 313.6 m
