Carrie is driving a car. Which factors determine the kinetic energy of her car at this point

Physics
1 answer:
Valentin [98]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The two main factors that affect kinetic energy are mass and speed.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that is caused by the motion. The kinetic energy of an object is the energy or force that the object has due to its motion. Your moving vehicle has kinetic energy; as you increase your vehicle's speed, your vehicle's kinetic energy increases.

Have a great day! :D

What are electrons and how are they involved in creating and electric current?
Artist 52 [7]
Electrons are a stable sub atomic particle that has a negative charge and is found in all atoms and is the main carrier of electricity through solids.

In a metal, some of the electrons can escape from the atoms and are free to move around inside the metal. These electrons are referred to as 'conduction electrons'. 

<span>A current is a flow of charge. In metal a current is the flow of the conduction electrons through the metal. This can occur when connected to battery for example: The battery pumps the conduction electrons around the circuit. </span>

The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.32 with the floor. If t
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The shortest braking distance is 35.8 m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law applied to the boxes, on the vertical axis we have the norm up and the weight vertically down

On the horizontal axis we fear the force of friction (fr) that opposes the movement and acceleration of the train, write the equation for each axis

    Y axis

     N- W = 0

     N = W = mg

  X axis

     -Fr = m a

     -μ N = m a

     -μ mg = ma

     a = μ g

     a  = - 0.32 9.8

     a =  - 3.14 m/s²

We calculate the distance using the kinematics equations

    Vf² = Vo² + 2 a x

     x = (Vf² - Vo²) / 2 a

When the train stops the speed is zero (Vf = 0)

 Vo = 54 km/h (1000m/1km) (1 h/3600s)= 15 m/s

     x = ( 0 - 15²) / 2 (-3.14)

     x=  35.8 m

The shortest braking distance is  35.8 m

A moving car skids to a stop with the wheels locked across a level roadway. Of the forces listed, identify which act on the car.
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Normal, Gravity, Friction, and Air Resistance.

Explanation:

When a moving car skid to stop and its wheels are locked across, then the following forces will be applied on the car:

<u>Normal force:</u> It will act counter to gravity that pushes an object against a surface and acts perpendicular to the contact surface.

<u>Gravity:</u> Gravity force acts in each and every object having mass and it can not be avoidable. So, the gravity force will also apply to the car and attract it to the earth's surface.

<u>Friction: </u>Friction is a force that acts opposite to the motion and stops or slows motion. Friction will be applied to the car that will oppose the motion of the car and stop it.

<u>Air resistance:</u> air resistance is defined as the forces exerted by air that acts opposite to the relative motion of an object. Air resistance will also be applied to the car when it will skid to stop as we are always surrounded by the air.

Hence, the correct answers are "Normal, Gravity, Friction, and Air Resistance."

Which of the following statements accurately describes the properties of gases?
Ray Of Light [21]
<span>A change in the pressure of a gas results in a more significant change in volume than it would in a liquid.  is the statement that accurately describes the property of gas. Gas only depends on how you store it. the bigger the space the wider gas can expand, the smaller the space, the more compress the gas can become.</span>
