for every 120 joules of energy input a car waste 85 joules, find the useful energy output of the car?
harina [27]

Answer:

Useful Output = 35 J

Explanation:

The useful energy output of the car must be equal to the difference between the total input energy supplied to the car and the energy wasted by the car:

Useful Output = Total Input - Waste

where,

Total Input = 120 J

Waste = 85 J

Therefore,

Useful Output = 120 J - 85 J

<u>Useful Output = 35 J</u>

A small rock is thrown straight up from the edge of the roof of an 8.00 m tall building with an initial speed vo . The speed of
Serjik [45]

Answer:

20.47 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{24^2-0^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=29.3577\ m

Total height of the fall is 29.3577 m

Height the ball reached above the building is 29.3577-8=21.3577\ m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 21.3577=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{21.3577\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=2.0866\ s

Time taken to reach the point from where the ball was thrown is 2.0866 s

This will also be the time it takes the ball to reach the maximum height

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow u=\dfrac{s-\frac{1}{2}at^2}{t}\\\Rightarrow u=\dfrac{21.3577-\frac{1}{2}\times -9.81\times 2.0866^2}{2.0866}\\\Rightarrow u=20.47\ m/s

The initial velocity with which the rock was thrown was 20.47 m/s

A 550N object has a coefficient of .012 against a smooth surface. What
Brrunno [24]

Vertically, the object is in equilibrium, so that the net force in this direction is

∑ <em>F</em> (vertical) = <em>n</em> - <em>mg</em> = 0

where <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force due to the contact between the object and surface. You're given that the object's weight is <em>mg</em> = 550 N, so <em>n</em> = 550 N as well.

Horizontally, the net force would be

∑ <em>F</em> (horizontal) = <em>p</em> - <em>f</em> = 0

where <em>p</em> is the magnitude of the applied force and <em>f</em> is the magnitude of (kinetic) friction opposing <em>p</em>. Now,

<em>f</em> = 0.012<em>n</em> = 0.012 (550 N) = 6.6 N

so that you need to apply a force of <em>p</em> = 6.6 N to keep the object sliding at a steady pace.
