Power is the ratio of work done and the time taken to do the work.

So,

Power = Work Done / Time

Work done is the dot product of force and distance.

So,

Work done = F.d = Fdcos(Ф)
where Ф is the angle between force and displacement. Using the values, we get:

Work done =  848 x 48.7 x cos(32.5) = 34830.04 Joules

So,

Power = 34830.04/18.3 = 1903.28 W

Thus, truck was using 1903.28 Watts to tow the car

leva [86]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to angular motion equations. Therefore we will have that the angular acceleration will be equivalent to the change in the angular velocity per unit of time.

Later we will use the relationship between linear velocity, radius and angular velocity to find said angular velocity and use it in the mathematical expression of angular acceleration.

The average angular acceleration

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_0}{t}

Here

\alpha = Angular acceleration

\omega_{f,i} = Initial and final angular velocity

There is not initial angular velocity,then

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f}{t}

We know that the relation between the tangential velocity with the angular velocity is given by,

v = r\omega

Here,

r = Radius

\omega = Angular velocity,

Rearranging to find the angular velocity

\omega = \frac{v}{r}}

\omega = \frac{30}{0.20} \rightarrow Remember that the radius is half te diameter.

Now replacing this expression at the first equation we have,

\alpha = \frac{30}{0.20*6}

\alpha = 25 rad /s^2

Therefore teh average angular acceleration of each wheel is 25rad/s^2

Answer:

A. <u>The water decreases the friction between the floor and the feet </u>

Explanation: Think about it like this, when your in the shower and water is on your skin, you can scrub it fluidly, but when the water dries in your towel, there is more friction when your rub your skin, this is because the molecules in water aren't as compact as solids, so anything acting against it, is most likely to disperse from it.
