A car weighs 2,000 kg. It moves along a road by applying a force on the road with a parallel component of 560 N. There are two p

assengers in the car, each weighing 55 kg. If the magnitude of the force of friction experienced by the car is 45 N, what is the acceleration of the car?

Answer:

The acceleration of the car is 0.244 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the car, m = 2,000 kg

applied parallel force on the car, F = 560 N

mass of the two passengers, m = 2 x 55 kg = 110 kg

frictional force on the car (reducing horizontal motion), Fk = 45 N

Weight of the car acting downward, W = 2,000 x 9.8 = 19,600 N

weight of the two passengers acting downward, w = 110 x 9.8 = 1078 N

The net horizontal force on the car is given by;

∑Fx = F - Fk

∑Fx = 560 - 45

∑Fx = 515 N

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

where;

m is the total mass of the system = mass of car + mass of passengers

m = 2000 + 110 = 2,110 kg

a = ∑Fx / m

a = 515 / 2110

a = 0.244 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 0.244 m/s²

A fish is 80 cm below the surface of a pond. What is the apparent depth (in cm) when viewed from a position almost directly abov
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Apparent depth (Da) = 60.15 cm (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Distance from fish (D) = 80 cm

Find:

Apparent depth (Da)

Computation:

We know that,

Refractive index of water (n2) = 1.33

So,

Apparent depth (Da) = D(n1/n2)

Apparent depth (Da) = 80 (1/1.33)

Apparent depth (Da) = 60.15 cm (Approx)

Dane is standing on the moon holding an 8 kilogram brick 2 metres above the ground. How much energy is in the brick's gravitatio
Nadya [2.5K]

The gravitational potential energy of the brick is 25.6 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in a gravitational field.

Near the surface of a planet, the gravitational potential energy is given by

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the strength of the gravitational field

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

For the brick in this problem, we have:

m = 8 kg is its mass

g = 1.6 N/kg is the strenght of the gravitational field on the moon

h = 2 m is the height above the ground

Substituting, we find:

PE=(8)(1.6)(2)=25.6 J

1) My 14V car battery could be used to charge my laptop, but I need to use an inverter to first convert it to a standard 120V. T
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

1) Charge chord resistance is 75 Ω

2) Charge chord resistance is 6.33 Ω

Explanation:

1) To answer the question, we note that the the formula voltage is found as follows;

V = IR

Therefore,

R = \frac{V}{I} =  \frac{120}{1.6} = 75  \, \Omega

2) Where the voltage, V = 19.5 V and the current, I = 3.33 A, we have;

Initial resistance R₁ = 19.5 V/(3.33 A) = 5.86 Ω

However, to reduce the current to 1.6 A, we have;

R_T = \frac{19.5}{1.6} = 12.1875 \ \Omega

Therefore, where the resistance is found by the sum of the total resistance we have;

R_T = R₁ + Charge chord resistance

∴ 12.1875 = 5.86 + Charge chord resistance

Hence, charge chord resistance = 6.33 Ω

How much power does it take to lift a 24 kg gift box 6m above the floor in 4 s?
Mrac [35]

Answer:

<h2>5.6kW</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given

mass m= 24kg

distance moved= 6m

time taken= 4seconds

Step two:

Required

power

but work done is the force applied at a distance, and the power is the work done time the time taken

Work done= F*D

F=mg

W= mg*D

W=24*9.81*6

W=1412.6J

Power P= work * time

P=1412.6*4

p=5650.5W

P=5.6kW
