The engine of a 2000 kg Mercedes going up Pike’s Peak delivers energy to its drive wheel at the rate 100 kW . Neglecting air res

istance, what is the largest speed the car can sustain on the steep Pike’s Peak mountain highway, where the road is 30◦ to the horizontal? The acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s 2 .

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

given,

Mass of Mercedes engine = 2000 Kg

Power delivered = 100 kW

angle made with horizontal = 30°

acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

largest speed car can sustain = ?

we know,

Power = Force x velocity

P = F x v

P = mg sinθ x v

P = mg sin 30° x v

P = 0.5 mg x v

$v = \dfrac{100 \times 10^3}{0.5\times 2000 \times 10}$

v = 10 m/s

hence, the maximum velocity is equal to v = 10 m/s

Express the answer to 4.31x10^7 multiplied by 5.41x10^5 scientific notation.

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The product of the two numbers is 2.33* 10^13

Explanation:

Given

4.31x10⁷ and 5.41x10⁵

Required

Multiply

The multiplication of the two digits is represented as thus:

$Result = 4.31 * 10^7 * 5.41 * 10^5$

This can also be rewritten as

$Result = 4.31 * 5.41 * 10^7 * 10^5$

Multiply 4.31 and 5.41

$Result = 23.3171 * 10^7 * 10^5$

Apply laws of indices

$Result = 23.3171 * 10^{7+5}$

$Result = 23.3171 * 10^{12}$

The scientific notation is always in the form: $a * 10^n$

Where $1 \leq\ a \leq 10$

So:

23.3171 can be rewritten as 2.33171 * 10

So, we have:

$Result = 2.33171 * 10* 10^{12}$

Also, apply law of indices again

$Result = 2.33171 * 10^{1+12}$

$Result = 2.33171 * 10^{13}$

It's always advisable (but not compulsory to approximate to 1 or 2 decimal places)

So:

$Result = 2.33* 10^{13}$

<em>Hence; the product of the two numbers is 2.33* 10^13</em>

What is a mafic rock

sertanlavr [38]

Mafic is an adjective describing a silicate mineral or igneous rock that is rich in magnesium and iron, and is thus a portmanteau of magnesium and ferric. Most mafic minerals are dark in color, and common rock-forming mafic minerals include olivine, pyroxene, amphibole, and biotite

A toy rocket moving vertically upward passes by a 2.0-m-high window whose sill is 8.0 m above the ground. The rocket takes 0.15

sveta [45]

Answer:

$v_i = 18.86 m/s$

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the rocket is v1 and v2 at the bottom and top of the window

then we will have

$d = (\frac{v_1 + v_2}{2}) t$

$2 = (\frac{v_1 + v_2}{2})(0.15)$

$26.67 m/s = v_1 + v_2$

also we know that

$v_2 - v_1 = (-9.81)(t)$

$v_2 - v_1 = (-9.81)(0.15) = -1.47$

now we have

$v_2 = 12.6$

also we have

$v_1 = 14.1 m/s$

now if the sill of the window is at height 8 m from the ground then we have

$v_1^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a h$

$(14.1^2) - v_i^2 = 2(-9.81)(8)$

$v_i = 18.86 m/s$

FORCE AND DISPLACEMENT AT AN ANGLE A sailor pulls a boat a distance of 30.0 m along a dock using a rope that makes a 25.0° angle

Bingel [31]

Answer: 6117.58 J

Explanation:

We know that W=Fd*cos(theta) where theta is the angle between the displacement and the force.

In this case, we are given that F=225 N, d=30 m, and theta=25 degrees.

Plugging all this in we get

W=225*30*cos(25)=6117.58 J
