Answer:
22.2 W
Explanation:
First of all, we calculate the work done by moving the wagon, using the formula:
where
F = 20 N is the magnitude of the force
d = 1000 m is the displacement of the wagon
is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement (assuming the force is applied in the direction of motion)
Substituting, we find
Now we can find the power generated, which is equal to the ratio between the work done and the time taken:
where
W = 20,000 J
t = 15 min = 900 s
Substituting,
And the same value in Joules/second (remember that 1 Watt = 1 Joule/second)
Answer:
D. Because they are using space technology on a shirt so people can wear it on earth as well
On a roller coaster, the greatest potential energy is at the highest point of the roller coaster
Answer:
6200 J
Explanation:
Momentum is conserved.
m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂
The car is initially stationary. The truck and car stick together after the collision, so they have the same final velocity. Therefore:
m₁ u₁ = (m₁ + m₂) v
Solving for the truck's initial velocity:
(2700 kg) u = (2700 kg + 1000 kg) (3 m/s)
u = 4.11 m/s
The change in kinetic energy is therefore:
ΔKE = ½ (m₁ + m₂) v² − ½ m₁ u²
ΔKE = ½ (2700 kg + 1000 kg) (3 m/s)² − ½ (2700 kg) (4.11 m/s)²
ΔKE = -6200 J
6200 J of kinetic energy is "lost".
