A ski lift has a one-way length of 1 km and a vertical rise of200m. The chairs are spaced 20 m apart, and each chair can seatthr

ee people. The lift is operating at a steady spedd of 10 km/h.Neglecting friction and ari drag ans assuming that the average massof each loaded chair is 250 kg, determine the power required tooperate the ski lift. Also estimate the power required toaccelerate this ski lift in 5 s to its operating speed when it isfirst turned

Answer:

a) 68.125 KW

b) 43.04 KW

Explanation:

Distance =d= 1 km

Height = h = 200 m

Spacing between chairs =D= 20 m

No. of people per chair = 3

Speed = V= 10 km/h= 10000m\3600 s=2.8 m/s

mass of chair = 250 kg

Work to operate sky lift

W= mgh

Number of chairs any moment operational = N= 1 km/20=1000m/20=50

So, total mass of chairs = 50 × 250 =12500kg

so, w= mgh=12500×9.8×200=2452500 j

Power is rate of work - we need time for operation time of lift

Time= t = distance/speedf= 1km/(10km/h)=1km/(10 km/3600s)=360s

So, Power P= Work/time=w/t=12500/360=68125 j/s=68.125 KW

Now calculating power for operating speed in 5 sec

We calculate accelleration=a for 5 sec

a= speed / time= V/52.8/5=0.28 m/sec2

for vertical acceleration we calculate θ angle first;

tanθ= height /distance= 200/1000= 0.2

==> θ=11.34°

Vertical acceleration = a₁=a sinθ= 0.28× sin 11.34=0.10835 m/sec2

to calculate height gained during startup use;

S=vit+1/2at2

here s=H

vi=0m/s

t=5 sec

==> H = 0+1/2a₁×t=0.5×0.10835 ×5²=0.5×0.10835×5×5=1.362 m

Total Work =mgH+0.5×m×V²=12500(9.8×1.362+0.5×2.8×2.8)=215240.56 j

Again power = work / time=215240.56/5=43048.112 W=43.04 KW

An object moving at a constant speed of 25 m/s is making a turn with a radius of curvature of 7 m (this is the radius of the "ki
prisoha [69]

Answer:

- 278.34 kg m/s^2

Explanation:

The rate of the change of momentum is the same as the force.

The force that an object feels when moviming in a circular motion is given by:

F = -mrω^2

Where ω is the angular speed and r is the radius of the circumference

Aditionally, the tangential velocity of the body is given as:

v = rω

The question tells us that

v = 25 m/s

r = 7m

mv = 78 kg m/s

Therefore:

m = (78 kg m/s) / (25 m/s) = 3.12 kg

ω = (25 m/s) / (7 m) = 3.57 (1/s)

Now, we can calculate the force or rate of change of momentum:

F = - (3.12 kg) (7 m)(3.57 (1/s))^2

F = - 278.34 kg m/s^2

Two identical loudspeakers 2.00 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

The lowest possible frequency of sound is 971.4 Hz.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between  loudspeakers = 2.00 m

Height = 5.50 m

Sound speed = 340 m/s

We need to calculate the distance

Using Pythagorean theorem

AC^2=AB^2+BC^2

AC^2=2.00^2+5.50^2

AC=\sqrt{(2.00^2+5.50^2)}

AC=5.85\ m

We need to calculate the path difference

Using formula of path difference

\Delta x=AC-BC

Put the value into the formula

\Delta x=5.85-5.50

\Delta x=0.35\ m

We need to calculate the lowest possible frequency of sound

Using formula of frequency

f=\dfrac{nv}{\Delta x}

Put the value into the formula

f=\dfrac{1\times340}{0.35}

f=971.4\ Hz

Hence, The lowest possible frequency of sound is 971.4 Hz.
