To calculate Work we need Force and Distance or Total Change in Energy and Heat.

To calculate Power we need Current and Voltage or Voltage and Resistance.

Two go-carts, A and B, race each other around a 1.0 track. Go-cart A travels at a constant speed of 20.0 /. Go-cart B accelerate

maria [59]

Complete Question

Q. Two go-carts, A and B, race each other around a 1.0km track. Go-cart A travels at a constant speed of 20m/s. Go-cart B accelerates uniformly from rest at a rate of 0.333m/s^2. Which go-cart wins the race and by how much time?

Answer:

Go-cart A is faster

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the track is $l = 1.0 \ km = 1000 \ m$

The speed of A is $v__{A}} = 20 \ m/s$

The uniform acceleration of B is $a__{B}} = 0.333 \ m/s^2$

Generally the time taken by go-cart A is mathematically represented as

$t__{A}} = \frac{l}{v__{A}}}$

=> $t__{A}} = \frac{1000}{20}$

=> $t__{A}} = 50 \ s$

Generally from kinematic equation we can evaluate the time taken by go-cart B as

$l = ut__{B}} + \frac{1}{2} a__{B}} * t__{B}}^2$

given that go-cart B starts from rest u = 0 m/s

$1000 = 0 *t__{B}} + \frac{1}{2} * 0.333 * t__{B}}^2$

=> $1000 = 0 *t__{B}} + \frac{1}{2} 0.333 * t__{B}}^2$

=> $t__{B}} = 77.5 \ seconds$

Comparing $t__{A}} \ and \ t__{B}}$ we see that $t__{A}}$ is smaller so go-cart A is faster

Assume it takes 5.00 minutes to fill a 50.0-gal gasoline tank. (1 U.S. gal = 231 in.3).

dolphi86 [110]

   (50 gal / 5 min) x (.0037854 m³/gal) x (1 min / 60 sec)

   = (50 · 0.0037854 · 1) / (5 · 60) m³/sec

   = 0.000631 m³/sec

How far will you travel if you run for 10. minutes at 2.0 m/s?

oee [108]

We know that 1 minute= 60 seconds (or 1 min= 60 s).

10 min* (60 s/ 1 min)* (2.0 m/ 1 s)= 1,200 m.
(Note that the units cancel out so you get the answer)

The final answer is 1,200 m.

Hope this helps~
