Question
A car whose weight is 20,000 N (meaning that its mass is about 2000 kg) is travelling at constant speed of 25 m/s up an incline that makes an angle of 4o with respect to the horizontal. Consider the car alone to be the system.
A.What work does the gravitational interaction between the car and the Earth do on the car each second?
B.What does the momentum requirement imply about the total external force acting on the car?
C. Is the car's internal energy increasing or decreasing?
Defend your response in each case.

Calculate the speed of an 8.0 × 10* kg airliner with a kinetic energy of 1.1 × 10° J. 2. What is the speed of a 0.145 kg baseball if its kinetic energy is 109 J? 3. Two bullets have masses of 3.0 g and 6.0 g, respectively. Both are fired with a speed of 40.0 m/s. Which bullet has more kinetic energy? What is the ratio of their kinetic energies?arrow_forwardJane and Jake are looking at what happens to body 1 of mass m and body 2 of mass 2m, initially at rest, when equal forces are applied separately to the two bodies. Jake says that equal forces applied for equal times do equal amounts of work on the two bodies. Jane says that the two forces do equal amounts of work only if the two bodies move equal distances in the direction of the forces. Which one, if either, is correct? O Jake, because the speed of body 1 is half the speed of body 2, but m¡v1= m2V2- O Jane, because work does not depend on mass, only on force times distance. O Jake, because all bodies travel equal distances when equal forces are applied for equal times. O Jane, because it takes the same time for all bodies to travel equal distances when equal forces are involved. O Neither, because we can't compare the amounts of work done on bodies of different mass.arrow_forward
