If a boat and its riders have a mass of 900 kg and the boat drifts in at 1.4 m/s how much work does sam do to stop it?

Physics

Rama09 [41]3 years ago

The initial kinetic energy of the boat and its rider is
K_i =  \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(900 kg)(1.4 m/s)^2=882 J

After Sam stops it, the final kinetic energy of the boat+rider is
K_f = 0 J
because its final velocity is zero.

For the law of conservation of energy, the work done by Sam is the variation of kinetic energy of the system:
W=K_f-K_i =0-882 J=-882 J
where the negative sign is due to the fact that the force Sam is applying goes against the direction of motion of the boat.

Problem 2: (15 pts) A 10-m high cylindrical container is half-filled at the bottom with water of density =1000 kg/m3 while the t
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

\Delta p = 90.7 kPa

Explanation:

specific gravity of oil is = \frac{\rho_{oil}}{\rho_w}

\rho_{oil} = 0.85*1000 = 850 kg/m3

we know that

change in pressure  for oil is given as

\Delta p = \rho gh

here density and h is for oil

\Delta p = 850*5 *9.81 = 41,692.5 kPa

change in pressure  for WATER is given as

\Delta p = \rho gh

here density is for water and h is for water

\Delta p = 1000*5 *9.81 = 49,050 kPa

pressure change due to both is given as

\Delta p = 41692.3 + 49050 = 90742.5 N/m2

\Delta p = 90.7 kPa

A child bounces a 52 g superball on the sidewalk. The velocity change of the superball is from 20 m/s downward to 14 m/s upward.
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Force on superball will be =9.8222\times 10^{-4}N

Explanation:

We have given mass of superball m = 52 gram = 0.052 kg

Velocity change from 20 m/sec downward to 14 m/sec upward

Let downward velocity is positive then upward velocity is negative

So downward velocity is + 20 m/sec and upward velocity is -14 m/sec

Time is given as 1800 sec

We know that acceleration is rate of change of velocity

So a=\frac{20-(-14)}{1800}=0.0188m/sec^2

According to newton second law

Force = ma = 0.052×0.0188 =9.8222\times 10^{-4}N

A 3 kg rock sits on a 0.8 meter ledge. If it is pushed off, how fast will it be going at the bottom?
andrey2020 [161]

As long as it sits on the shelf, its potential energy
relative to the floor is . . .

   Potential energy =      (mass) x (gravity) x (height) =

                                       (3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (0.8m) = <u>23.52 joules</u> .

If it falls from the shelf and lands on the floor, then it has exactly that
same amount of energy when it hits the floor, only now the 23.52 joules
has changed to kinetic energy.

   Kinetic energy =                                          (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²

                                                 23.52 joules = (1/2) x (3 kg) x (speed)²

Divide each side by  1.5 kg :     23.52 m²/s² = speed²

Take the square root of each side:    speed = √(23.52 m²/s²) =  <em>4.85 m/s </em> (rounded)

Find the acceleration produced.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

0.67m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of toy  = 1.2kg

Force applied = 0.8N

Unknown:

Acceleration   = ?

Solution:

According to newton's second law of motion;

      Force  = mass x acceleration

Now,

      Acceleration = \frac{Force}{mass}

     Acceleration  = \frac{0.8}{1.2}   = 0.67m/s²
