I need help with questions b and d, that’s all. Thank you.

Physics

Mkey [24]2 years ago

b).  The power depends on the RATE at which work is done.  

Power = (Work or Energy) / (time)

So to calculate it, you have to know how much work is done AND how much time that takes.

In part (a), you calculated the amount of work it takes to lift the car from the ground to Point-A.  But the question doesn't tell us anywhere how much time that takes.  So there's NO WAY to calculate the power needed to do it.

The more power is used, the faster the car is lifted.  The less power is used, the slower the car creeps up the first hill.  If the people in the car have a lot of time to sit and wait, the car can be dragged from the ground up to Point-A with a very very very small power ... you could do it with a hamster on a treadmill.  That would just take a long time, but it could be done if the power is small enough.

Without knowing the time, we can't calculate the power.

...

d).  Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed squared)

On the way up, the car stops when it reaches point-A.  

On the way down, the car leaves point-A from "rest".

WHILE it's at point-A, it has <u><em>no speed</em></u>.  So it has no (<em>zero</em>) kinetic energy.

A 5.75 × 107 kg battle ship originally at rest fires a 1100-kg artillery shell horizontally with a velocity of 550 m/s. show ans
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

-0.01052 m/s

Explanation:

M = mass of ship = 5.75\times 10^7\ kg

m = mass of shell = 1100 kg

v = velocity of shell = 550 m/s

u = recoil velocity of ship

As linear momentum is conserved

(M - m)u=-mv\\\Rightarrow u=-\frac{mv}{M - m}\\\Rightarrow u=-\frac{1100\times 550}{5.75\times 10^7+1100}\\\Rightarrow u=-0.01052\ m/s

The recoil velocity of the ship taking the firing direction to be the positive direction is -0.01052 m/s

If the net force acting on a stationary object is zero then the object will
Drupady [299]
If the net force is zero, then there is no acceleration, which means no change in velocity. The velocity starts at zero, so it must remain at zero. Therefore, the object will not move.

How do charges move through an insulated wire connected across a battery? Use the terms potential difference, current, conductor
mario62 [17]
The battery has both a positive side and a negative side. The potential difference will be the potential of the positive end of the battery minus the potential of the negative end, which will result in positive potential, or power. This potential is what gives the electrons the ability to flow from the positive end to the negative end, or to make a current. While the outside of the insulated wire is the insulator, the inside of the wire has copper, which is the conductor of the current. So, this current will go through the copper of the wire (and not the insulator) from the positive side to the negative.
