Answer:

P= 390 W

Explanation:

In physics, power is the rate of doing work or of transferring heat, i.e. the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time. Work is a force F applied over a distance x. Matemathicaly it means

P = dW/dt ≈ d(F * x)/dt = xdF/dt + Fdx/dt. If force is constant dF/dt=0 so P=F dx/dt = P*v, where v is velocity, the rate of distance per unit time.

We have force and velocity. Newton is unit of Kg*m/s2, hence

P= 150 kgm/s2 * 2.6 m/s =390 Kgm2/s3 = 390 W, where W is Watts and is an unit of power

After a 0.320-kg rubber ball is dropped from a height of 19.0 m, it bounces off a concrete floor and rebounds to a height of 15.

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

$Imp = 11.666\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$

Explanation:

Speed experimented by the ball before and after collision are determined by using Principle of Energy Conservation:

Before collision:

$(0.32\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (19\,m) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (0.320\,kg)\cdot v_{A}^{2}$

$v_{A} \approx 19.304\,\frac{m}{s}$

After collision:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot (0.320\,kg)\cdot v_{B}^{2} = (0.32\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (15\,m)$

$v_{B} \approx 17.153\,\frac{m}{s}$

The magnitude of the impulse delivered to the ball by the floor is calculated by the Impulse Theorem:

$Imp = (0.32\,kg)\cdot [(17.153\,\frac{m}{s} )-(-19.304\,\frac{m}{s} )]$

$Imp = 11.666\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$

A playground merry-go-round of radius R = 1.80 m has a moment of inertia I = 270 kg · m2 and is rotating at 8.0 rev/min about a

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

$\dot n = 6.042\,rpm$

Explanation:

The final angle speed of the merry-go-round is determined with the help of the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation:

$(270\,kg\cdot m^{2})\cdot \left(8\,rpm\right) = [270\,kg\cdot m^{2}+(27\,kg)\cdot (1.80\,m)^{2}]\cdot \dot n$

$\dot n = 6.042\,rpm$
