For many years the posted highway speed limit was 88.5 km/h but in recent years some rural stretches of highway have increased their speed limit to 104.6 km/h. In Maine the distance from Portland to Bangor is 215 km. How much time can be saved in making this trip at the new speed limit?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Time Saved = 0.374 h = 22.4 min

Explanation:

First we calculate the time required at old speed limit:

s = v₁t₁

where,

s = distance from Portland to Bangor = 215 km

v₁ = old speed limit = 88.5 km/h

t₁ = time taken with old speed limit = ?

Therefore,

215 km = 88.5 km/h (t₁)

t₁ = (215 km)/(88.5 km/h)

t₁ = 2.429 h

Now, we calculate the time taken at the new speed limit:

s = v₂t₂

where,

s = distance from Portland to Bangor = 215 km

v₂ = new speed limit = 104.6 km/h

t₂ = time taken with new speed limit = ?

Therefore,

215 km = 104.6 km/h (t₂)

t₂ = (215 km)/(104.6 km/h)

t₂ = 2.055 h

So, the time saved will be:

Time Saved = t₁ - t₂ = 2.429 h - 2.055 h

Time Saved = 0.374 h = 22.4 min

Asha walks 15 m west, then 20 m north, then 15 m east. Calculate the distance and displacement
covered by Asha.(a) (Numbering problem)_​

Answers

Answer:

Asha traveled a distance of 50 m

The displacement is 20 m north.

Explanation:

Distance and Displacement

A moving object constantly travels for some distances at defined periods of time. The total moved distance is the sum of each individual distance the object traveled. It can be written as:

dtotal=d1+d2+d3+...+dn

This sum is obtained independently of the direction the object moves.

The displacement only takes into consideration the initial and final positions of the object while moving. The displacement, unlike distance, is a vectorial magnitude and can even have magnitude zero if the object starts and ends the movement at the same point.

Asha walks 15 m west, 20 m north, and 15 m east. The total distance is

dt=15 m + 20 m + 15 m = 50 m

Asha traveled a distance of 50 m

Note the final position is 20 m above the initial position since she goes 15 m west and 15 m east. Thus the displacement is 20 m north.

11 A car is driven on a long journey along a flat, horizontal road. The car stops several times on the
journey and its engine becomes hot.
Which type of energy does not change during the journey?
A the chemical energy in the fuel tank
the gravitational energy of the car
c the internal (thermal) energy of the engine
B
D the kinetic energy of the car

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Because the gravity is the one pulling the car to the ground so it doesnot change

The same same thing happens to the chemical energy in the engine it doesnot change as it is the one that makes the car to move from one place to another

Option B is correct that is the gravitational energy of the car does not change.

(A) The chemical energy in the fuel tank gets converted into thermal energy heating up the engine and mechanical energy which helps moving the car.

(B) Gravitational energy is due to the force of gravitation between the car and the earth and depends on their respective masses which does not change as the car moves.

(C) The internal energy is proportional to thermal energy. the thermal energy of the engine increases which means its internal energy also increases.

(D) The kinetic energy of the car changes as it moves and stops.

at constant pressure by what fraction of its volume will aquantity of gas change if the temperature changes from -173degree C to 27degree C

Answers

Answer:

The volume of the gas becomes three times the initial volume.

Explanation:

Given that the pressure is constant, and temperature changes from -173degree C to 27degree C.

So, the initial temperature, [tex]T_1[/tex] = -173 degree C = -173+273 = 100 K.

The final temperature, [tex]T_2[/tex]= 27 degree C = 27+273=300 K.

As the pressure is constant, so [tex]P_1=P_2[/tex].

Let V_1 and V_2 be the initial and final volume respectively.

Assuming that the given gas is ideal gas.

So, applying the ideal gas equation

PV=nRT

where n is the number of moles of the gas and R is the universal gas constant.

For the initial state, [tex]P_1V_1=n_1RT_1\cdots(i)[/tex]

and for the final state, [tex]P_2V_2=n_2RT_2 \cdots(ii)[/tex]

Dividing the equation (i) by (ii), we have

[tex]\frac {P_1V_1}{P_2V_2}=\frac {n_1RT_1}{n_2RT_2} \\\\\frac {P_1V_1}{P_2V_2}=\frac {n_1T_1}{n_2T_2}[/tex]

As the mass of the gas is not changing, so [tex]n_1=n_2[/tex], then

[tex]\frac {P_1V_1}{P_2V_2}=\frac {T_1}{T_2}[/tex]

As the pressure is not changing, so [tex]P_1=P_2[/tex], then

[tex]\frac {V_1}{V_2}=\frac {100}{300}[/tex]

[tex]V_2=3V_1[/tex]

So, the volume of the gas becomes three times the initial volume.

A car weighing 19600N is moving with a speed of 30 m/sec on a level road. If it is brought to rest in a distance of 100 m. Find the average distance friction force acting on it

Answers

Answer:

F = -8820 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The weight of a car, W = 19600 N

Initial speed of the car, u = 30 m/s

It is brought to rest, final velocity, v = 0

Distance, d = 100 m

We need to find the average friction force acting on it.

Firstly we find the acceleration of the car using third equation of motion. Let it is a.

[tex]v^2-u^2=2as\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}\\\\a=\dfrac{(0)^2-(30)^2}{2\times 100}\\\\=-4.5\ m/s^2[/tex]

Average frictional force,

F = ma

m is mass, [tex]m=\dfrac{W}{g}=\dfrac{19600\ N}{10\ m/s^2}=1960\ kg[/tex]

F = 1960 kg × -4.5 m/s²

= -8820 N

So, the average friction force acting on it is 8820 N.

Answers

Answer:

zero, at a maximum, and zero

Explanation:

At the instant that the puck is released, its kinetic energy is zero because we define the kinetic energy of a body as the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion.

The gravitational potential energy at the point of release is maximum since gravitational potential energy is possessed by any object in the earth's gravitational field.

Elastic potential energy refers to energy stored in a body as a result of applying a force that deforms the elastic object. . Hence elastic potential energy is available in the puck only when it is deformed upon hitting the earth.

A go-cart and rider have a mass of 14 kg. If the cart accelerates at 6m/s^2 during a 40 m sprint in 100 seconds, how much power did the cart do? MUST SHOW ALL WORK!!!!!!!!!

Answers

Answer:

P = 33.6 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

F = forces [N]

m = mass = 14 [kg]

a = acceleration = 6 [m/s²]

[tex]F = 14*6\\F = 84 [N][/tex]

In the second part of this problem we must find the work done, where the work in physics is known as the product of force by distance, it is important to make it clear that force must be applied in the direction of movement.

[tex]W = F*d[/tex]

where:

W = work [J]

F = force = 84 [N]

d = displaciment = 40 [m]

[tex]W = 84*40\\W = 3360 [J][/tex]

Finally, the power can be calculated by the relationship between the work performed in a given time interval.

[tex]P=W/t\\[/tex]

where:

P = power [W]

W = work = 3360 [J]

t = time = 100 [s]

Now replacing:

[tex]P=3360/100\\P=33.6[W][/tex]

The power is given in watts

Many large and small rocks are found under glaciers. Explain how these rocks are both weathered and eroded.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation below

Explanation:

Ice, mostly in the form of glaciers can create different landforms as it erodes the earth. In some areas with mountains, the glaciers move gradually downhill and across the land areas. When they move, the transport virtually everything on their path, ranging from small grains of sands to huge boulders.  

As these glaciers flow, the rocks being carried in the process scrape against the ground and erode both the ground and the rocks. Rocks are being ground up and oils are scrapped away.  

The main types of erosion created by the glaciers are abrasion and plucking.

A 45 kg swimmer starting from rest can develop a maximum speed of 12 m/s over a distance of 20 m How much net force must be applied to do this ?

MUST SHOW WORK!

Answers


F = ma = mΔv/t = m(vf - vi)/t = mvf/t (since vi = 0)

⇒ a = vf/t


While accelerating from rest to vf, the distance d the swimmer traveled satisfies

d = (1/2)at2

Then

d = (1/2)(vf/t)t2 = vf t/2 ⇒

t = 2d/vf

F = ma = mvf/t = mvf / (2d/vf) = mvf2 / (2d)

F = [45 * 122 / (2 * 20)] N = 162 N

If you also want to know how long the swimmer took to accelerate to vf,

t = 2d/vf = (2 * 20 / 12) s = 3.33 s

Some metals have a molecular structure that makes them good conductors. Explain how understanding this relationship can help engineers make more powerful batteries.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Conductors can be defined as materials that permit electricity to flow through them easily.

Now, metals have a molecular structure that makes them good conductors because electrons in the atoms of these conductors tend to move freely from one atom to the other. So a majority of metals make good conductors because these metals tend to hold their electrons loosely. In short, it can help engineers make powerful batteries because then it means that they are capable of giving much more electrical energy since nowadays, advanced batteries make use of ion charges for the batteries.

mass of the planet is 12 times that of earth and its radius is thrice that of earth , then find the escape velocity on that planet ?? ​

Answers

Answer:

The escape velocity on the planet is approximately 178.976 km/s

Explanation:

The escape velocity for Earth is therefore given as follows

The formula for escape velocity, [tex]v_e[/tex], for the planet is [tex]v_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \cdot G \cdot m}{r} }[/tex]

Where;

[tex]v_e[/tex] = The escape velocity on the planet

G = The universal gravitational constant = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²

m = The mass of the planet = 12 × The mass of Earth, [tex]M_E[/tex]

r = The radius of the planet = 3 × The radius of Earth, [tex]R_E[/tex]

The escape velocity for Earth, [tex]v_e_E[/tex], is therefore given as follows;

[tex]v_e_E = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \cdot G \cdot M_E}{R_E} }[/tex]

[tex]\therefore v_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times G \times 12 \times M}{3 \times R} } = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times G \times 4 \times M}{R} } = 16 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times G \times M}{R} } = 16 \times v_e_E[/tex]

[tex]v_e[/tex] = 16 × [tex]v_e_E[/tex]

Given that the escape velocity for Earth, [tex]v_e_E[/tex] ≈ 11,186 m/s, we have;

The escape velocity on the planet = [tex]v_e[/tex] ≈ 16 × 11,186 ≈ 178976 m/s ≈ 178.976 km/s.

Explanation:

When the plates meet at the boundaries the convergent boundaries lie at the collision of two plates and the divergent lies near mid-oceanic ridges.

What are plate boundaries?

The earth plate tectonics are divided into the three types of plates as convergent which is the destruction of crust and are found where the heavy and light plate comes and colloid with each other submerging the heavier plate into the mantel.

The divergent ones found near the mid-oceanic ridges are the formation of a new plate as the plates diverge away from the ridges.
