Answer:

Speed = 24 m/s.

No! It doesn't break the speed limit.

Explanation:

The formula we'll be using to find the car's speed:

\boxed{ \mathsf{speed =  \frac{distance}{time} }}

The detectors are placed 1.2 m apart.

==> Distance the car travels = 1.2 m

The car, it says, takes 0.050 s to travel that distance.

==> Time taken by the car to travel 1.2 m = 0.050 s

Using the formula mentioned above, let's calculate the speed of the car:

\sf{speed =  \frac{distance}{time} }

\implies \sf{speed =  \frac{1.2}{0.050} }

<em>On</em><em> </em><em>dividing</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>0</em><em>5</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em> </em><em>obtain</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>4</em><em>.</em>

\implies \sf{speed = 24 \: m/s }

Any car traveling with a speed that is greater than or equal to <u>2</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>m</u><u>/</u><u>s</u> is breaking the speed limit.

And since the car in our focus is traveling at 24 m/s that is less than 25 m/s, it doesn't break the speed limit.

A 920-kg compact car moving at 92 m/s has approximately 3,893,440 Joules of kinetic energy. What is the change in kinetic energy
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Change in kinetic energy = 3297280 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 920 kg

Speed of a car, v = 92 m/s

Kinetic energy, K = 3,893,440 J

If the speed of a car, V = 36 m/s

Net kinetic energy is given by :

K_n=\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 920\times (36)^2\\\\K_n=596160\ J

The change in kinetic energy = 3,893,440 - 596160

= 3297280 J

So, the change in kinetic energy of the car is 3297280 J.
