A 100-g toy car moves along a curved frictionless track. At first, the car runs along a flat horizontal segment with an initial

velocity of 2.77 m/s. The car then runs up the frictionless slope, gaining 0.184 m in altitude before leveling out to another horizontal segment at the higher level. What is the final velocity of the car if we neglect air resistance?

Answer:

The final velocity of the car is 2.02 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

The kinetic energy of the car as it runs along the first flat horizontal segment can be calculated using the following equation:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

KE =  kinetic energy

m = mass

v = velocity

Then, the initial kinetic energy will be:

KE = 1/2 · 0.100 kg · (2.77 m/s)²

KE = 0.384 J

When the car gains altitude, it gains potential energy. The amount of gained potential energy will be equal to the loss of kinetic energy. So let´s calculate the potential energy of the car as it reaches the top:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

PE = potential energy.

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

PE = 0.100 kg · 9.8 m/s² · 0.184 m

PE = 0.180 J

Then, the final kinetic energy will be (0.384 J - 0.180 J) 0.204 J

Using the equation of kinetice energy, we can obtain the velocity of the car:

KE =  1/2 · m · v²

0.204 J = 1/2 · 0.100 kg · v²

2 · 0.204 J  / 0.100 kg = v²

v = 2.02 m/s

The final velocity of the car is 2.02 m/s

Jeff of the Jungle swings on a 7.6-m vine that initially makes an angle of 32 ∘ with the vertical.
shtirl [24]

To solve this problem we will use the trigonometric concepts to find the distance h, which will allow us to find the speed of Jeff and that will finally be the variable that will indicate the total tension, since it is the variable of the centrifugal Force given in the vine at the lowest poing of the swing.

From the image:

cos (32) = \frac{(7.6-h)}{7.6}

h = 1.1548m

When Jeff reaches his lowest point his potential energy is converted to kinetic energy

PE = KE

mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

v = \sqrt{2gh}

v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(1.1548)}

v= 4.75m/s

Tension in the string at the lowest point is sum of weight of Jeff and the his centripetal force

T = W+F_c

T = mg + \frac{mv^2}{r}

T = (83)(9.8)+\frac{(9.8)( 4.75)^2}{7.6}

T = 842.49N

Therefore the tension in the vine at the lowest point of the swing is 842.49N

KiRa [710]

Answer:

F = 326.7 N

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 200 kg

distance d = 2 m

length L = 12 m

solution

we know force exerted by the weight of the rock that is

W = m × g   ..............1

W = 200 × 9.8

W = 1960 N

and

equilibrium the sum  of the moment about that is

∑Mf = F(cos∅) L - W (cos∅) d  = 0

here ∅ is very small so cos∅ L = L and cos∅ d = D

so F × L - W × d = 0       .................2

put here value

F × 12 - 1960 × 2 = 0

solve it we get

F = 326.7 N
