Answer:

Work done by the frictional force is 3.41\times 10^5\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

Initial velocity of car, u = 26.1 m/s

Finally, it comes to rest, v = 0

We have to find the work done by the frictional forces. Work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy as per work - energy theorem i.e.

W=k_f-k_i

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1000\ kg(0^2-(26.1\ m/s)^2)

W = −340605 J

or

W=3.41\times 10^5\ J

Hence, the correct option is (a).

Use the terms "force", "weight", "mass", and "inertia" to explain why it is easier to tackle a 220 lb football player than a 288
Tomtit [17]
<span><u>Answer </u>
The mass of 220 lb football has less than 288 lb football. So, it will be easier to move it since it will require less force. The heavy football will have a bigger momentum. Since 288 lb has more weight than 220 lb, it will have bigger inertia making it difficult for the players to stop it.
This makes it easier to tackle 220 lb football than 288 lb football.

A rectangular block weighs 240 N. the area of the block in contact with the floor is 20 cm2.calculate the pressure on the floor(
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

12 N/cm²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Weight (W) of block = 240 N

Area (A) = 20 cm²

Pressure (P) =?

Next, we shall determine the force exerted by the block. This can be obtained as follow:

Weight (W) of block = 240 N

Force (F) =.?

Weight and force has the same unit of measurement. Thus, we force applied is equivalent to the weight of the block. Thus,

Force (F) = Weight (W) of block = 240 N

Force (F) = 240 N

Finally, we shall determine the pressure on the floor as follow:

Force (F) = 240 N

Area (A) = 20 cm²

Pressure (P) =?

P = F/A

P = 240 / 20

P = 12 N/cm²

Therefore, the pressure on the floor is 12 N/cm².

An electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) can produce a shock of up to 600 V and a current of 1 A for a duration of 2 ms, which
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

2\times 10^{-3}\ C

6000

1.2 J

3.33\times 10^{-6}\ F

Explanation:

I = Current = 1 A

t = Time = 2 ms

n = Number of electrocyte

V = Voltage = 100 mV

Charge is given by

Q=It\\\Rightarrow Q=1\times 2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow Q=2\times 10^{-3}\ C

The charge flowing through the electrocytes in that amount of time is 2\times 10^{-3}\ C

The maximum potential is given by

V_m=nV\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{V_m}{V}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{600}{100\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow n=6000

The number of electrolytes is 6000

Energy is given by

E=Pt\\\Rightarrow E=V_mIt\\\Rightarrow E=600\times 1\times 2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow E=1.2\ J

The energy released when the electric eel delivers a shock is 1.2 J

Equivalent capacitance is given by

C_e=\dfrac{Q}{V_m}\\\Rightarrow C_e=\dfrac{2\times 10^{-3}}{600}\\\Rightarrow C_e=3.33\times 10^{-6}\ F

The equivalent capacitance of all the electrocyte cells in the electric eel is 3.33\times 10^{-6}\ F

A small light cylinder and a large heavy cylinder are released at the same time and roll down a ramp without slipping. Which one
forsale [732]

Answer:

C. Both reach the bottom at the same time.

Explanation:

For a rolling object down an inclined plane , the acceleration is given below

a = g sinθ / (1 + k² / r² )

θ is angle of inclination , k is radius of gyration , r is radius of the cylinder

For cylindrical object

k² / r² = 1/2

acceleration =  g sinθ  /( 1 + 1/2 )

= 2 g sinθ / 3  

Since it does not depend upon either mass or radius , acceleration of both the cylinder will be equal . Hence they will reach the bottom simultaneously.
