Well this question looks like it makes some assumptions. So assuming that both cars have the same mass and experience the same wind resistance regardless of speed and same internal frictions, then we could say "The car that finishes last has the lowest power". The reason is that for a given race the cars must overcome losses associated with motion. Since they all travel the same distance, the amount of work will be the same for both. This is because work is force times distance. If the force applied is the same in both cases (identical cars with constant wind resistance) and the distance is the same for both (a fair race track) then W=F·d will be the same.
Power, however, is the work done divided by the time over which it is done. So for a slower car, time t will be larger. The power ratio W/t will be smaller for the longer time (slower car).

Answer:

The expression of gravitational field due to mass $m_!$ at a distance $l_a$

Explanation:

We have given mass is $m_1$

Distance of the point where we have to find the gravitational field is $l_a$

Gravitational constant G

We have to find the gravitational filed

Gravitational field is given by $g=\frac{Gm_1}{l_a^2}$

This will be the expression of gravitational field due to mass $m_!$ at a distance $l_a$

g 2. The _____ spans the distance from the _____ to the location of the applied force. moment arm; pivot point moment of inertia

Alik [6]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be Option A (moment arm; pivot point).

Explanation:

The moment arm seems to be the duration seen between joint as well as the force section trying to act mostly on the joint. Each joint that is already implicated in the workout seems to have a momentary arm.
The moment arm extends this same distance from either the pivot point to just the position of that same pressure exerted.
The pivotal point seems to be the technical indicators required to fully measure the appropriate demand trends alongside different time-frames.

The other three choices are not related to the given situation. So that option A is the appropriate choice.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

coefficient of kinetic friction of wooden floor μ = .4

force of friction = μ R , R is reaction force of floor

R = mg = weight of body

R = 25 N

force of friction = .4 x 25 = 10 N

Net force on the crate = 10 - 10 = zero .

Net force on the body will be nil.

Answer:

C) rift valley

Explanation:

A rift valley is a lowland region formed by the interaction of Earth's tectonic plates. This small rift valley has a typical formation—long, narrow, and deep. It was formed by the Thingvellir rift, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are tearing, or rifting, apart over a hotspot on the island of Iceland.
