When an automobile moves with constant speed down a highway, most of the power developed by the engine is used to compensate for

the mechanical energy loss due to frictional forces exerted on the car by the air and the road. If the power developed by the engine is 168 hp, estimate the total friction force acting on the car when it is moving at a speed of 23 m/s. One horsepower equals 746 W.

Answer:

F=5449 N

Explanation:

Work done is a product of force and displacement ie

Work done, W, = Force*Displacement

Power, P, is Work done/Time

$P=\frac {W}{t}=\frac {FS}{t}$ where P is power, W is work done, F is force, S is displacement and t is time

In this case, F is the frictional force. Converting the power from hp to W, we multiply by 746 hence P=746*168=125328 W

Since displacement/time is velocity, then

P=FV where V is velocity in m/s

Making F the subject

$F=\frac {P}{V}$

$F=\frac {125328}{23}=5449.043478 N$

F=5449 N

A common carnival ride, called a gravitron, is a large r = 11 m cylinder in which people stand against the outer wall. the cylin

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The minimum speed is 14.53 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

r = 11 m

Friction coefficient = 0.51

Suppose we need to find the minimum speed, that the cylinder must make a person move at to ensure they will stick to the wall

When frictional force becomes equal to or greater than the weight of person

Then, he sticks to the wall

We need to calculate the minimum speed

Using formula for speed

$f_{s}=\mu N\geq mg$

Where, $N =\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$\mu\times\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\gep mg$

$v^2\geq\dfrac{gr}{\mu}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{9.8\times11}{0.51}}$

$v=14.53\ m/s$

Hence, The minimum speed is 14.53 m/s.

A Neglecting air resistance, a ball projected straight upward so it remains in the air for 10 seconds needs an initial speed of

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The initial velocity is 50 m/s.

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 10 sec

For first half,

We need to calculate the height

Using equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2gh$

$h =\dfrac{v^2}{2g}$ ....(I)

For second half,

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

$h =ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_{2}^2$

$h=0+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_{2}^2$

$t_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}}$

Put the value of h from equation (I)

$t_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times v^2}{g^2}}$

$t_{2}=\dfrac{v}{g}$

According to question,

$t_{1}+t_{2}=10$

$t_{1}=t_{2}$

Put the value of t₁ and t₂

$\dfrac{v}{g}+\dfrac{v}{g}=10$

$\dfrac{2v}{g}=10$

$v=\dfrac{10\times g}{2}$

Here, g = 10

The initial velocity is

$v=\dfrac{10\times10}{2}$

$v=50\ m/s$

Hence, The initial velocity is 50 m/s.
