Two runners start at the same point on a straight track. The first runs with constant acceleration so that he covers 98 yards in

10 seconds. The second runner waited 5 seconds and then throws a rock at his opponent's head. Of the head and the rock are at the same level form the ground, what must the initial magnitude of the velocity be if the rock is to hit the head just at the 98 yard tape? Give the answer in feet per second.

Answer:

94.13 ft/s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • t = time interval in which the rock hits the opponent = 10 s - 5 s = 5 s
  • s = distance to be moved by the rock long the horizontal = 98 yards
  • y = displacement to be moved by the rock during the time of flight along the vertical = 0 yard

<u>Assume:</u>

  • u = magnitude of initial velocity of the rock
  • \theta = angle of the initial velocity with the horizontal.

For the motion of the rock along the vertical during the time of flight, the rock has a constant acceleration in the vertically downward direction.

\therefore y = u\sin \theta t +\dfrac{1}{2}(-g)t^2\\\Rightarrow 0 = u\sin \theta 5 +\dfrac{1}{2}(-9.8)\times 5^2\\\Rightarrow u\sin \theta 5 =\dfrac{1}{2}(9.8)\times 5^2......(1)\\

Now the rock has zero acceleration along the horizontal. This means it has a constant velocity along the horizontal during the time of flight.

\therefore u\cos \theta t = s\\\Rightarrow u\cos \theta 5 = 98.....(2)\\

On dividing equation (1) by (2), we have

\tan \theta = \dfrac{25}{20}\\\Rightarrow \tan \theta = 1.25\\\Rightarrow \theta = \tan^{-1}1.25\\\Rightarrow \theta = 51.34^\circ

Now, putting this value in equation (2), we have

u\cos 51.34^\circ\times  5 = 98\\\Rightarrow u = \dfrac{98}{5\cos 51.34^\circ}\\\Rightarrow u =31.38\ yard/s\\\Rightarrow u =31.38\times 3\ ft/s\\\Rightarrow u =94.13\ ft/s

Hence, the initial velocity of the rock must a magnitude of 94.13 ft/s to hit the opponent exactly at 98 yards.

A lawn roller in the form of a thin-walled, hollow cylinder with mass M is pulled horizontally with a constant horizontal force
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

a_{cm}=\frac{F}{2M}\\\\F_{fr}=\frac{F}{2}

Explanation:

Given the mass as M, the rotational inertia of the mower is;

I_{cm}=MR^2

-The roller doesn't slip while rolling;

v_{cm}=wR, a_{cm}=\alpha R

\sum F_x=Ma_x, -F+F_{fr}=-Ma_{cm}\\\\a_{cm}=\frac{F-Fr}{M}    \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ eqtn1\\\\\sum \tau_{cm}=I_{cm}\alpha, F_{fr}(R)}=(MR^2)(\frac{a_{cm}}{R}), ->F_{fr}=Ma_c_m\ \ \  \ \ \ \ eqtn2\\\\a_{cm}=\frac{F-Ma_{cm}}{M}, ->F=2Ma_{cm}\\\\a_{cm}=\frac{F}{2M}\\\\\\\therefore F_{fr}=M(\frac{F}{2M})\\\\F_{fr}=\frac{F}{2}

What is the force required to move a block of mass 150 pound by a distance of 5ft in 8 seconds?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Force required to move a block is 1.615 N

Given:

mass of block = m = 150 pounds = 68 kg

distance = d = 5 ft = 1.52 metres

time = t = 8 sec

To Find:

force required to move the block

Solution: Force is defined as product of mass and acceleration and it's unit is N or Newton.

Velocity = displacement/ time = 1.52 / 8 = 0.19 m/s

Acceleration = velocity/time = 0.19/8 =

0.023 m/s^2

Force = mass x acceleration = 68x0.023 = 1.615 N

Hence, force required to move the block is 1.615 N

A wheel of mass 4kg is pulled up a plane inclined at 30° to the horizontal by a force of 45N applied to the axle and parallel to
Len [333]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Let's assume the wheel does not slip as it accelerates.

Energy theory is more straightforward than kinematics in my opinion.

Work done on the wheel

W = Fd = 45(12) = 540 J

Some is converted to potential energy

PE = mgh = 4(9.8)12sin30 = 235.2 J

As there is no friction mentioned, the remainder is kinetic energy

KE = 540 - 235.2 = 304.8 J

KE = ½mv² + ½Iω²

ω = v/R

KE = ½mv² + ½I(v/R)² = ½(m + I/R²)v²

v = √(2KE / (m + I/R²))

v = √(2(304.8) / (4 + 0.5/0.5²)) = √101.6

v = 10.07968...
