Asports car accelerates from 0 to 30 mph in 1.5 s. how long would it take to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph, assuming the power of the engine to be independent of velocity and neglecting air drag?

6 s

Explanation:

given,

Sports car accelerate from 0 to 30 mph in 1.5 s

time taken to accelerate  0 to 60 mph = ?

The power of the engine is independent of velocity and neglecting friction

power =

P = constant  

the kinetic energy for 60 mph larger than this of 30 mph

 =

 =

 =

 = 4

gain in kinetic energy  = P x t

time = 4 x 1.5

       = 6 s

from 1609, galileo galilei used the recently invented telescope to observe the sun, moon and planets. he saw the mountains and craters of the moon, and for the first time revealed the planets to be worlds in their own right. galileo also provided strong observational evidence that planets orbited the sun.

his discoveries about the moon, jupiter's moons, venus, and sunspots supported the idea that the sun - not the earth - was the center of the universe, as was commonly believed at the time.galileo turned his gaze toward venus, the brightest celestial object in the sky - other than the sun and the moon.
