A fast-moving car has 0.5 MJ of kinetic energy.

Physics
1 answer:
DerKrebs [107]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

-0.5 MW

Explanation:

For this we can use the principle of work and energy, which states that:

T₁ + ∑U₁₋₂ = T₂

Where T is kinetic energy (in situations one and two) and U is the sum of all work done (between situations one and two).

So, since the car is first moving with a kinetic energy of 0.5 MJ:

T₁ = 0.5 MJ = 0.5 · 10⁶ J

On top of this, we know that the car comes to a halt, using this as situation 2:

T₂ = 0 J

Filling in the equation:

⇒ 0.5 · 10⁶ + U = 0

⇒ U = -0.5· 10⁶ [W] (unit of work is watts)

       = -0.5 MW

Thinking about the sign convention, we see that the brake force will point to the back of the car (backward), and the distance the car will travel before stopping will be forward, oposite directions and thus negative work.

Calculate the current flowing if a charge of 36 kilocoulombs flows in 1 hour.
o-na [289]

Answer:

Current = 10 Amperes.

Explanation:

Given the following dat;

Quantity of charge, Q = 36 kilocoulombs (KC) = 36 * 1000 = 36000C

Time = 1 hour to seconds = 60*60 = 3600 seconds

To find the current;

Quantity of charge = current * time

Substituting in the equation

36000 = current * 3600

Current = 36000/3600

Current = 10 Amperes.

An apple from the top branch of the tree and an apple from the bottom branch of a tree fall at the same time. Which apple will h
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
B. The apple from the bottom will hit the ground earlier. This is because an increase in height causes an increase in the time that the object will fall, and therefore will affect the final velocity of the falling object. Moreover, the reduction in velocity due to friction from the air should also be considered.

A child swings on a playground swing. How many times does the child swing through the swing's equilibrium position during the co
Karolina [17]
<h2>The child swing through the swing's equilibrium position 6 times during the course of 3 periods.</h2>

Explanation:

One period means time taken to complete one revolution.

In case of swings in one period time it travels the same position through two times.

Here we need to find how many times does the child swing through the swing's equilibrium position during the course of 3 period(s) of motion.

For 1 period = 2 times

For 3 periods = 3 x For 1 period

For 3 periods = 3 x 2 times

For 3 periods = 6 times

The child swing through the swing's equilibrium position 6 times during the course of 3 periods.

What is the energy of an electromagnetic wave that has a frequency of
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Energy, \; E = 2.6504 * 10^{-34} \; Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Frequency = 4.0 x 10⁹ Hz

Planck's constant, h = 6.626 x 10-34 J·s.

To find the energy of the electromagnetic wave;

Mathematically, the energy of an electromagnetic wave is given by the formula;

E = hf

Where;

E is the energy possessed by a wave.

h represents Planck's constant.

f is the frequency of a wave.

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

Energy, \; E = 4.0 x 10^{9} * 6.626 x 10^{-34}

Energy, \; E = 2.6504 * 10^{-34} \; Joules
