An automobile has a mass of 1200 kg. What is its kinetic energy, in kJ, relative to the road when traveling at a velocity of 50
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

K.E = 463.04 k J

P = 23.14 Watt

Explanation:

given,

mass of automobile = 1200 kg

velocity = 50 km/h

             = 50 × 0.278

             = 13.9 m/s

kinetic energy = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

                        =\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1200 \times 13.9^2

        K.E = 115.93 k J

vehicle accelerated to velocity = 100 km/h

                                                    = 100 × 0.2778

                                                    = 27.78 m/s

kinetic energy = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

                        =\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1200 \times 27.78^2

        K.E = 463.04 k J

work done = change in kinetic energy

                   = 463.04 - 115.93

                   = 347.11 J

Power = \dfrac{work\ done}{time}

Power =\dfrac{347.11}{15}

P = 23.14 Watt

A 4. 0 nc positive point charge is located at point a in the figure. (figure 1) what is the electric potential at point b?.
algol [13]

The electric potential at point b experienced by the charge cab be determined using the formulas given.

<h3>Electric potential</h3>

The electric potential of a point charge is the work done in moving the charge from infinity to certain point against the electric field.

V = Ed

V = (F/q)d

V = (Fd)/q

where;

  • V is the electric potential
  • F is electric force
  • E is the electric field
  • q is the charge

Thus, the electric potential at point b experienced by the charge cab be determined using the formulas given.

While researching scuba diving, Pablo reads how hot a tank should get while being filled with air. Which law best explains why t
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Gay-Lussac’s law, because as the pressure increases, the temperature increases

Explanation:

First of all, we can notice that the volume of the tank is fixed: this means that the volume of the air inside is also fixed.

This means that in this situation we can apply Gay-Lussac's law, which states that:

"for a gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas".

Mathematically:

p\propto T

where p is the pressure in Pascal and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

In this case, the tank is filled with air: this means that the pressure of the gas inside the tank increases. And therefore, according to Gay-Lussac's law, the temperature will increase proportionally, and this explains why the tank gets hot.

Two samples of water are mixed together.
horrorfan [7]

Let the cold water go up x degrees.

Let the hot water go down 100 - x degrees.

The formula for heat exchange is m*c*delta t

Givens

Ice

deltat = x

m = 0.50 kg

c = 4.18

Hot water

deltat = 100 - x

m = 1.5 kg

c = 4.18

Formula

The heat up = heat down

0.50 * c * x = 1.5 * c * (100 - x)            Divide both sides by c

Solution

0.50 *x = 1.5*(100 - x)                          Remove the brackets.

0.5x = 150 - 1.5x                                  Add 1.5x to both sides.

0.5x + 1.5x = 150 - 1.5x + 1.5x             Combine like terms  

2x = 150                                               Divide by 2

x = 75

Answer

A
