A 1500 kg car begins sliding down a 5.0o inclined road with a speed of 30 km/h. The engine is turned off, and the only forces ac

ting on the car are a net frictional force from the road and the gravitational force. After the car has traveled 50 m along the road, its speed is 40 km/h.
(a) How much is the mechanical energy of the car reduced because of the net frictional force?
(b) What is the magnitude of that net frictional force?

Answer:

a) -23583J

b) 471.66N

Explanation:

Using the conservation energy theorem:

K_o+U_o+W_f=K_f+U_f\\W_f=K_f+U_f-(K_o+U_o)

The height is given by:

sin(\theta)=\frac{h}{d}\\\\h=50*sin(5^o)\\h=4.36m

substituting the values we have:

W_f=\frac{1}{2}*1500kg*((40-30)\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000h.m}{3600km.s})^2+0-1500kg*9.8m/s^2*4.36m\\W_f=-23583J*

the work is defined by:

W_f=F_f*d*cos(\theta)

the force of the friction force is 180 degrees because it's opposite to the movement, so:

F_f=\frac{-23583J}{50m*cos(180)}\\F_f=471.66N

What is the physics definition of work? How is work calculated? How would you calculate the amount of work done in a slapshot.
loris [4]

Answer:

1) Work is a measure of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force at least part of which is applied in the direction of the displacement. 2) Work is calculated through joules. 3) It's possible to calculate work by multiplying the amount of force applied by the distance that the force is applied. If we know the amount of force the stick applies to the puck and the distance that the stick is applying the force to the puck, we can figure out the amount of work done.

What is mean by "an electrically-charged object is quantized" ? and which physicist is accredited with the quantization of charg
PIT_PIT [208]

It means that electric charge exists in integral multiples of an elementary unit of charge rather taking on continuous values.

Since Millikan was the first to measure the value of the electronic charge in his famous "oil drop" experiment, he may be the one given credit for discovering quantization of charge.

What best describes the degree to which a material can transmit heat
serious [3.7K]
The material can transmit heat by energy transfer through collision of atoms. The elements that has a high ability of transmitting heat within their material are the metals. They are said to have high thermal conductivity. As the metal heats up, because the atoms are closely packed, they easily transfer heat through conduction. For example, copper is used in electrical wirings because it has a high thermal conductivity.

A motorcycle is capable of accelerating at 1.5 m/s2. Starting from rest, how far can it travel in 0.5 seconds?
Helen [10]
Answer:
Here,
Initial velocity(u)=0 m/s
acceleration(a)=1.5m/s
time(t)=0.5s
Now,
distance covered(s)=ut+(1/2)at^2
                            =0*0.5+(1/2)*1.5*0.5*0.5
                             =0+(1/2)*0.375
                             =0+0.1875
                             =0.1875(nearly 0.19)
Hence,0.19 is correct answer.
