Answer:
2.A flowerpot falling from a balcony
Explanation:
Potential energy is the internal energy within a body at rest or at a height above the ground. In this case of the falling flowerpot, the flowerpot initially has a potential energy due to its position on the balcony above the surface of the earth. As the flowerpot falls, the work done against gravity in taking the flowerpot to this height on the balcony (equivalent to the potential energy) is transformed into the kinetic energy of motion as the flowerpot falls down through the height.
Force applied = F = 628 N
<span>Acceleration = a m/s² </span>
<span>Newton's 2nd law of motion : F = Ma </span>
<span> a = F/M -------- (1) </span>
<span>New mass of the crate = M1 = 3.8M kg </span>
<span>New acceleration = a1 = F/M1 = F/(3.8 M) ----- (2) </span>
<span>a1/a = {F/(3.8M)}/(F/M) = 1/3.8 = 10/38 = 5/19 ------- Answer</span>
Answer:
It would crack.
Explanation: The pressure from dropping it would crush the eggshell therefore breaking the egg.
Formula for potential energy is:
pe = m * g * h
Where:
m = mass of an object
g = gravitational acceleration
h = height at which object is placed
From this equation we can make conclusion that increasing mass also increases potential energy. Object b has double the mass so it has double the potential energy.
Object a:
pe = m * 9.81 * 1
pe = 9.81 J
Object b:
pe = 2m * 9.81 * 1
pe = 19.62 J
Answer:
a) 5.22 m/s
b) 31.4 %
Explanation:
f = rotating speed = 15 rpm = 15/60 =0.25 rps
m = Mass flow rate of air = 42000 kg/s
v = Tip velocity = 250 km/h = 250/3.6 = 69.44 m/s
W = Work output = 180 kW
A = Swept area of wind turbine
r = Radius of wind turbine
η = Efficiency
∴ The average velocity of the air is 5.22 m/s
∴ Conversion efficiency of the turbine is 0.314 or 31.4 %
