I have had no luck with my previous answers on modules 1-3, and I have started module-4, and the answers to the first two questions are both wrong. I am spending all this money and receiving very little help. Can you please assist me? The exercise questions are from Centage PHY-101.

Suppose a car travels 108 km at a speed of25.0m/s, and uses2.10gallons of gasoline. Only 30% of the gasoline goes into useful work by the force that keeps the car moving at constant speed despite friction. (The energy content of gasoline is1.30108Jper gallon.)

(a)

What is the force (in N) exerted to keep the car moving at constant speed?

N

(b)

If the required force is directly proportional to speed, how many gallons will be used to drive 108 km at a speed of28.0 m/s?

gallons

A car's bumper is designed to withstand a6.84km/h (1.9-m/s) collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of the car. The bumper cushions the shock by absorbing the force over a distance. Calculate the magnitude of the average force on a bumper that collapses0.150mwhile bringing a860kgcar to rest from an initial speed of1.9m/s.

In a downhill ski race, surprisingly, little advantage is gained by getting a running start. (This is because the initial kinetic energy is small compared with the gain in gravitational potential energy even on small hills.) To demonstrate this, find the final speed in m/s and the time taken in seconds for a skier who skies67.0malong a27slopeneglecting friction for the following two cases. (Enter the final speeds to at least one decimal place.)

(a)

starting from rest

final speed m/stime taken s

(b)

starting with an initial speed of3.40m/s

final speed m/stime taken s

(c)

Does the answer surprise you? Discuss why it is still advantageous to get a running start in very competitive events.
