A sports car accelerates from 0 to 30 mph in 1.5 s. How long would it take to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph, assuming the power of

the engine to be independent of velocity and neglecting air drag?

Answer:

6 s

Explanation:

given,

Sports car accelerate from 0 to 30 mph in 1.5 s

time taken to accelerate  0 to 60 mph = ?

The power of the engine is independent of velocity and neglecting friction

power =

P = constant  

the kinetic energy for 60 mph larger than this of 30 mph

 = \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}mv_1^2}{\dfrac{1}{2}mv_2^2}

 = \dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}

 = \dfrac{60^2}{30^2}

 = 4

gain in kinetic energy  = P x t

time = 4 x 1.5

       = 6 s

A person wants to lose weight by "pumping iron". The person lifts an 80 kg weight 1 meter. How many times must this weight be li
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

37357 sec  

or 622 min

or 10.4 hrs

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Lifting weight 80 kg

1 cal = 4184 J

from information given in question we have

one lb fat consist of 3500 calories = 3500 x 4184 J

= 14.644 x 10^6 J  

Energy burns in 1 lift = m g h

                                  = 80 x 9.8 x 1 = 784 J

lifts required = \frac{(14.644 x 10^6)}{784}

                      = 18679

from the question,

1 lift in 2 sec.

so, total time = 18679 x 2 = 37357 sec  

or 622 min

or 10.4 hrs

Urban cities like Atlanta have to contend with a serious problem like pollution. Drivers in California are testing out a car tha
riadik2000 [5.3K]

1. With this statement, the author is referring to the fact that the vehicles are one of the largest polluters of the air. In order to reduce the pollution, the vehicles that are used will need to be changed, and with it the pollution will decrease significantly. The reduction of the pollution will come because the vehicles on hydrogen will not cause any pollution, so the enormous amounts of carbon dioxide released from the combustion of the engines will be thing of the past.

2. There are several challenges with this type of vehicles in order for them to replace the fossil fuel driven ones. The big price is one of the factors, as the majority of the people can not afford these cars. Another problem is that these vehicles are not as fast as the fossil fuel driven ones, and lot of people enjoy fast driving, despite it not being safe. There are millions of vehicles out there on the roads, and changing all of them with hydrogen vehicles will take a lot of time, as lot of those vehicles are new ones, so the people will not be willing to just throw them away and leave them rot in their garages. In order for the change of the driving park to be accomplished, the prices should go down, the people to be more serious about the environment and its protection, and patience as several decades will probably be needed for a change like this to be competed.

3. The fuel celled cars are a viable answer to decrease the pollution, as they are not causing any pollution, but instead will stop the process of large emissions of carbon dioxide from the fossil fueled cars. While this method is a good one, it should not be the only, as on its own it can not have the desirable effect, but instead all the major polluters should be included in the process. The industry and the production of energy are one of the major polluters as well, so they will need to follow the example, as if they not, the problem will stay, considering that the industry is constantly growing and the demand for energy is constantly growing too.

A black, totally absorbing piece of cardboard of area A = 1.7 cm2 intercepts light with an intensity of 8.1 W/m2 from a camera s
Furkat [3]

Answer:

2.7x10⁻⁸ N/m²

Explanation:

Since the piece of cardboard absorbs totally the light, the radiation pressure can be found using the following equation:

p_{rad} = \frac{I}{c}

<u>Where:</u>

p_{rad}: is the radiation pressure

I: is the intensity of the light = 8.1 W/m²

c: is the speed of light = 3.00x10⁸ m/s

Hence, the radiation pressure is:

p_{rad} = \frac{I}{c} = \frac{8.1 W/m^{2}}{3.00 \cdot 10^{8} m/s} = 2.7 \cdot 10^{-8} N/m^{2}

Therefore, the radiation pressure that is produced on the cardboard by the light is 2.7x10⁻⁸ N/m².

I hope it helps you!

The eiffel tower has a mass of 7.3 million kilograms and a height of 324 meters. its base is square with a side length of 125 me
uranmaximum [27]

Since the tower base is square with a side length of  125 m,

Therefore,

(125\ m)^2+ (125\ m)^2=31250 m^2

Square root of 31250 = 176.776953 (Diameter) , so this is the diameter of the cylinder to enclose it, and radius, r = 88.38834765 m and height, h = 324 m.

The volume of cylinder,

=\pi r^2h=3.14(88.38834765 m)^2\times 324 m =7948168.803\ m^3

Thus, the mass of the air in the cylinder,

=1.225\ kg/m^3 \times 7948168.803\ m^3=9736506.78\ kg

Hence, the mass of the air in the cylinder is this more  than the mass of the tower.
