Answer:

True

Explanation:

- A conservative force is a force whose work done does not depend on the path taken, but only on the final and starting point.

- The mechanical energy of an object is defined as the sum of the kinetic energy (K) and the potential energy (U): E = K + U

- The law of conservation of energy states that, in case only conservative forces are acting on the object, the mechanical energy of the object E is conserved

- In case non-conservative forces are acting on the object, the mechanical energy is no longer constant. An example of non-conservative force is the force of friction: when the force of friction is acting on a car in motion, the car is slowed down by the effect of the force, losing some of its kinetic energy, K. If the car is travelling on a flat road, then its potential energy U does not change: this means that the mechanical energy of the car, E, is decreasing, so it is no longer conserved.

A boy of mass 40kg eats bananas contains of 980 joule. If this energy is used to lift him up from ground,the height to which he
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

h = 2.49 [m]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the definition of potential energy, which tells us that energy is equal to the product of mass by gravity by height.

The potential energy can be calculated by means of this equation:

Ep = m*g*h

where:

Ep = potential energy = 980 [J]

m = mass = 40 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s^2]

h = elevation [m]

Now replacing:

980 = 40*9.81*h

h = 2.49 [m]

A long. 1.0 kg rope hangs from a support that breaks, causing the rope to fall, if the pull exceeds 43 N. A student team has bui
raketka [301]

Answer:

6.8 m/s2

Explanation:

Let g = 9.8 m/s2. The total weight of both the rope and the mouse-robot is

W = Mg + mg = 1*9.8 + 2*9.8 = 29.4 N

For the rope to fails, the robot must act a force on the rope with an additional magnitude of 43 - 29.4 = 13.6 N. This force is generated by the robot itself when it's pulling itself up at an acceleration of

a = F/m = 13.6 / 2 = 6.8 m/s2

So the minimum magnitude of the acceleration would be 6.8 m/s2 for the rope to fail

190 kg of water is to be raised by a water pump to a height of 25 meters from the bottom of a well in 60 seconds. What should be
ladessa [460]

Answer:

776.6 w

1.04 hp

Explanation:

given:

Mass, m = 190kg

height change, h = 25m

time elapsed, t = 60 s

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

Potential energy required raising 190 kg of water to a height of 25m

= mgh

= 190 x 9.81 x 25

= 46,597.5 J

Power required in 60 s

= Energy required ÷ time elapsed

= 46,597.5 ÷ 60

= 776.6 Watts  (Use conversion 1 W = 0.00134102 hp)

= 776.6 w x 0.00134102 hp/w

= 1.04 hp
