Determine the energy lost, due to friction, as an 8000 N car that skids to a stop, if its initial velocity was 12 m/s.

Physics

Answer:

<em>58,800Joules</em>

Explanation:

The energy lost is equal to the workdone by the car as it skids.

Workdone = Force * Distance

Given

Force = 8000N

Get the distance using the equation of motion

v² = u² - 2gS

0² = 12² - 2(9.8)S

-12² =  - 2(9.8)S

-144 = -19.6S

S = 144/19.6

S = 7.35m

Calculate the required energy

Workdone = 8000 * 7.35

Workdone = 58,800Joules

<em>Hence the energy lost due to friction is 58,800Joules</em>

A 34.0 %-efficient electric power plant produces 800 MW of electric power and discharges waste heat into 20∘C ocean water. Suppo
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

77647

Explanation:

\eta = Efficiency = 34%

Power used in 1 home = 0.02 MW

Total power is

P=\dfrac{800}{\eta}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{800}{0.34}\\\Rightarrow P=2352.94117\ MW

Waste of power

2352.94117-800=1552.94117\ W

Number of homes would be given by

n=\dfrac{1552.94117}{0.02}=77647.0585\ homes

The number of homes that could be heated with the waste heat of this one power plant is 77647

Which is not a step of the scientific method?
Dahasolnce [82]
The six steps of the scientific are:
1. State the question
2. Conduct research
3. Create a hypothesis
4. Perform the experiment
5. Analyze the data
6. Conclusion

So D. would be the correct answer, even though communicating the results could possibly be a step if it's required.

A parcel of land is in the shape of an isosceles triangle. The base has a length of 425 ft.; the other sides, which are of equal
kogti [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 636.6 ft    

Explanation:

Data

base = 425 ft

angle = 39°

See the picture below

1.- Divide the triangle to get two right triangles.

    Now the superior angle will measure 19.5° and the opposite side will measure 212.5 ft

2.- Use the trigonometric function sine to find the hypotenuse

     sin 19.5 = 212.5/hyp

solve for hyp

    hyp = 212.5 / sin 19.5

Result

    hyp = 212.5/ 0.333

    hyp = 636.6 ft

Compare physical changes and chemical changes
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The difference between a physical reaction and a chemical reaction is composition. In a chemical reaction, there is a change in the composition of the substances in question; in a physical change there is a difference in the appearance, smell, or simple display of a sample of matter without a change in composition. Although we call them physical "reactions," no reaction is actually occurring. In order for a reaction to take place, there must be a change in the elemental composition of the substance in question. Thus, we shall simply refer to physical "reactions" as physical changes from now on.

Explanation:

Physical changes are limited to changes that result in a difference in display without changing the composition. Some common changes (but not limited to) are:

Texture

Color

Temperature

Shape

Change of State (Boiling Point and Melting Point are significant factors in determining this change.)

Physical properties include many other aspects of a substance. The following are (but not limited to) physical properties.

Luster

Malleability

Ability to be drawn into a thin wire

Density

Viscosity

Solubility

Mass

Volume
