Answer:

3600N

Explanation:

Given: m = 1200kg, Vo = 0m/s, Vf = 30m/s, Δt = 10s

ΣF = ma

we need to find 'a' first, using the definition of 'a' we get equation:

a = (Vf-Vo)/Δt

a = (30m/s)/10s

a = 3 m/s^2

now substitute into top equation

ΣF = ma

Fengine = (1200kg)(3m/s^2)

Fengine = 3600N

Answer:

P = 54000 W or P = 54 kW

Explanation:

P = Work/time

W = Force * distance

first, find acceleration to find net force using kinematics.

v = vo + at

30 = 0 + a(10)

a = 3 m/s^2

Fnet = ma = 1200(3) = 3600N = Force

Next, find the distance traveled using kinematics.

∆x = vo(t) + 1/2at^2

∆x = 0(10) + 1/2(3)10^2

∆x = 150 m

Now use the force and distance you just calculated to find the work done.

W = Force*distance

W = 3600N * 150m

W = 540000

Calculate power.

P = W/t

P = 540000/10

P = 54000 W

P = 54 kW

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

$\tau = 7.63 Nm$

Explanation:

As we know that moment of force is given as

$\tau = \vec r \times \vec F$

now we have

$\vec r = 1.2 m$

$\vec F = 14 N$

now from above formula we have

$\tau = r F sin\theta$

here we know that

$\theta = 27 degree$

so we have

$\tau = (1.2)(14) sin27$

$\tau = 7.63 Nm$

How many photons are absorbed during the dental x-ray?

MariettaO [177]

<span>E=hc/wav. len
E = (6.62 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8)/0.0275 x 10^-9
E = 7.22182 x 10^-15 J
To convert to eV divide by 1.6 x 10^-19
E = 7.22182 x 10^-15/1.6 x 10^-19 eV
E =45.36 x 10^3 eV
Th energy, E, of a single x-ray photon in eV is = 45.36keV.

Number of photons, n = total energy/ energy of photon
n = 3.85 x 10^-6/7.22182 x 10^-15

The thrust from a car is 2000 N. The air resistance and friction together total 680 N. What happens to the speed of the car?

zheka24 [161]

The car will speed up because if the air resistance and friction forces are reacting in the direction opposite to the Applied force, The Net force will still be in the direction of the car's motion and since F=ma a will cause your velocity to increase
