Rocks A and B are located at the same height on top of a hill. The mass of rock A is twice the mass of rock B. How does the pote

Potential energy is defined by formula

$U = mgh$

here

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Now here two different stones are located at same height

while mass of stone A is twice that of stone B

so here we can say potential energy of A is

$U_a = (2m)gh$

Similarly potential energy of B is

$U_b = mgh$

now if we take the ratio of two energy

$\frac{U_a}{U_b} = 2$

so we can say potential energy of stone A is two times the potential energy of B

A 740-kg boulder is raised from a quarry 119 m deep by a long uniform chain having a mass of 550 kg . This chain is of uniform s

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

A) the maximum acceleration the boulder can have and still get out of the quarry

B) how long does it take to be lifted out at maximum acceleration if it started from rest

Explanation:

A)

let +y is upward. look below at the free body diagram. the mass M refers to the combined mass of the boulder and chain.

the weight of the chain is: $w_{c} =m_{c} g$ and maximum tension is $T=2.50 m_{c} g=1.41*10^4N$

total mass and weight is :

$M =m_{c}+ m_{b} =740kg+550kg=1290 kg$

$w_{M} =1.2650*10^4N$

∑ $F_{y} =ma_{y}$

$T-M_{g} =Ma_{y}$

$a_{y} =(t-M_{g} )/M=(2.50m_{c} -M_{g} )/M=(2.50.550kg-1290kg)(9.8m/s^2)/1290kg$

$=0.645m/s^2$

B)

maximum acceleration

$a_{y} =0.645m/s^2\\\\y-y_{0} =119m\\v_{0y} =0$

using $y-y_{0} =v_{oy} t+1/2(a_{y} )t^2$

to solve for t

$t=\sqrt{2(y-y_{0} )/a_{y} }$

$t=\sqrt{2(119m)/0.645m/s^2} =19.20s$

A flywheel is a solid disk that rotates about an axis that is perpendicular to the disk at its center. Rotating flywheels provid

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

$8.37*10^5$ rpm

Explanation:

Given that rotational kinetic energy = $4.66*10^9J$

Mass of the fly wheel (m) = 19.7 kg

Radius of the fly wheel (r) = 0.351 m

Moment of inertia (I) = $\frac{1}{2} mr ^2$

Rotational K.E is illustrated as $(K.E)_{rt} = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{2(K.E)_{rt}}{I} }$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{2(KE)_{rt}}{1/2 mr^2} }$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{4(K.E)_{rt}}{mr^2} }$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{4*4.66*10^9J}{19.7kg*(0.351)^2} }$

$\omega = 87636.04$

$\omega = 8.76*10^4 rad/s$

Since 1 rpm = $\frac{2 \pi}{60} rad/s$

$\omega = 8.76*10^4(\frac{60}{2 \pi})$

$\omega = 836518.38$

$\omega = 8.37 *10^5 rpm$

Motor oil , with a viscosity of 0 . 250 Ns / m2 , is flowing through a tube that has a radius of 5 . 00 mm and is 25 . 0 cm long

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

1.1775 x 10^-3 m^3 /s

Explanation:

viscosity, η = 0.250 Ns/m^2

radius, r = 5 mm = 5 x 10^-3 m

length, l = 25 cm = 0.25 m

Pressure, P = 300 kPa = 300000 Pa

According to the Poisuellie's formula

Volume flow per unit time is

$V=\frac{\pi \times Pr^{4}}{8\eta l}$

$V=\frac{3.14 \times 300000\times \left ( 5\times 10^{-3} \right )^{4}}{8\times 0.250\times 0.25}$

V = 1.1775 x 10^-3 m^3 /s

Thus, the volume of oil flowing per second is 1.1775 x 10^-3 m^3 /s.

A particle accelerator fires a proton into a region with a magnetic field that points in the x-direction. (a) If the proton is m

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

<em>The magnitude of the magnetic field will act in a direction towards me.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

When a charged particle enters a magnetic field, it is deflected. The direction of travel of the particle is deflected, but the kinetic energy of the particle is not affected. <em>The force experienced by a charged particle as it enters a magnetic field that acts perpendicular to the path of the velocity of the particle, will produce a force that is perpendicular to both the direction of travel of the particle and the direction of the magnetic field.</em> In this case, the proton moves in the y-direction, the magnetic field is in the x-direction, therefore the force experienced by the particle will be towards me.
