Mechanical energy is a form of energy, it represents the energy that is possessed by a mechanical system of device due to its motion or position. Stated differently, mechanical energy is the ability of an object to do work. Mechanical energy can be either kinetic (energy in motion) or potential (energy that is stored)

A drone flies 8 m/s due East with respects to the wind. The wind is blowing 6 m/s due North with respects to the ground. What is

vekshin1

Answer:

B. 10m/s

Explanation:

If a drone flies 8 m/s due East with respects to the wind and the wind is blowing 6 m/s due North, the speed of the drone with respect to the ground is its displacement.

Displacement is calculated using Pythagoras theorem.

d² = 8²+6²

d² = 64+36

d² = 100

Square root both sides

√d² = √100

d = 10m/s

Hence the distance of the drone with respect to the ground is 10m/s

Option B is correct

Circular Motion A 650-kg car moving at 8.5 m/s takes a turn around a circle with a radius of 48.0 m. Determine the acceleration

ollegr [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of the car doesn't matter because On a flat curve the mass of the car does not affect the speed at which it can stay on the curve. You would need the mass if you were solving the the centripetal force acting on the car, but not the acceleration.

$a=\frac{v^2}{r}$ and filling in

$a=\frac{(8.5)^2}{48.0}$ and we need 2 significant digits in our answer. That means that

a = 1.5 m/sec²

Please answer D in the image with an explanation

puteri [66]

Answer:

The force is 274 N.

Explanation:

In figure 2:

(d) Let the tension in the string is T.

According to the Newton's second law,

Net force = mass x acceleration

Apply for 200N.

$T - 200 sin 35 =\frac{200}{9.8}\times a \\T - 114.7 = 20.4 a..... (1)\\220 - T = \frac{220}{9.8}\times a\\220 - T = 22.45 a..... (2)\\Adding both the equations\\334.7 = 42.85 aa =7.81 m/s^{2}$

Now put in (1)

T - 114.7 = 20.4 x 7.81

T = 274 N
