Answer:

35%

Explanation:

The car's engine gives off 65% thermal energy

So only 35 % is converted into mechanical energy .

input heat = Q₁ = 100

output heat = Q₂ = 65

Work output = Q₁ - Q₂ = W

W = 100 - 65 = 35

Efficiency = W / Q₁ X 100

= (35/ 100) X 100

= 35%.

An airplane wing is designed so that the speed of the air across the top of the wing is 255 m/s when the speed of the air below

<h2>Answer:442758.96N</h2>

Explanation:

This problem is solved using Bernoulli's equation.

Let $P$ be the pressure at a point.

Let $p$ be the density fluid at a point.

Let $v$ be the velocity of fluid at a point.

Bernoulli's equation states that $P+\frac{1}{2}pv^{2}+pgh=constant$ for all points.

Lets apply the equation of a point just above the wing and to point just below the wing.

Let $p_{up}$ be the pressure of a point just above the wing.

Let $p_{do}$ be the pressure of a point just below the wing.

Since the aeroplane wing is flat,the heights of both the points are same.

$\frac{1}{2}(1.29)(255)^{2}+p_{up}= \frac{1}{2}(1.29)(199)^{2}+p_{do}$

So, $p_{up}-p_{do}=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.29\times (25424)=16398.48Pa$

Force is given by the product of pressure difference and area.

Given that area is $27ms^{2}$ .

So,lifting force is $16398.48\times 27=442758.96N$

How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram-skier at a rate of 1.2 m/sec^2?

DiKsa [7]

<span>Answer: Force = 81.6 N

Explanation:
According to Newton's Second law:
F = ma --- (1)

Where F = Force = ?
m = Mass = 68 kg
a = Acceleration = 1.2 m/s^2

Plug in the values in (1):
(1) => F = 68 * 1.2
F = 81.6 N (The force needed to accelerate the skier at a rate of 1.2 m/s^2)</span>

A rifle bullet with mass 8.00g strikes and embeds itself in a block with mass 0.992kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal s

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

block velocity v = 0.09186 = 9.18 10⁻² m/s and speed bollet v₀ = 11.5 m / s

Explanation:

We will solve this problem using the concepts of the moment, let's try a system formed by the two bodies, the bullet and the block; In this system all scaffolds during the crash are internal, consequently, the moment is preserved.

Let's write the moment in two moments before the crash and after the crash, let's call the mass of the bullet (m) and the mass of the Block (M)

Before the crash

p₀ = m v₀ + 0

After the crash

$p_{f}$ = (m + M) v

p₀ = $p_{f}$

m v₀ = (m + M) v (1)

Now let's lock after the two bodies are joined, in this case the mechanical energy is conserved, write it in two moments after the crash and when you have the maximum compression of the spring

Initial

Em₀ = K = ½ m v2

Final

E $m_{f}$ = Ke = ½ k x2

Emo = E $m_{f}$

½ m v² = ½ k x²

v² = k/m x²

Let's look for the spring constant (k), with Hook's law

F = -k x

k = -F / x

k = - 0.75 / -0.25

k = 3 N / m

Let's calculate the speed

v = √(k/m) x

v = √ (3/8.00) 0.15

v = 0.09186 = 9.18 10⁻² m/s

This is the spped of the block plus bullet rsystem right after the crash

We substitute calculate in equation (1)

m v₀ = (m + M) v

v₀ = v (m + M) / m

v₀ = 0.09186 (0.008 + 0.992) /0.008

v₀ = 11.5 m / s
