A 1400.0 kg car crests a 3200.0 m pass in the mountains and briefly comes to rest. The car descends 1000 m before climbing and c

Answer:

a) v = 88.54 m/s

b) vf = 26.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that;

m = 1400.0 kg

by using the energy conservation

loss in potential energy is equal to gain in kinetic energy

mg × ( 3200-2800) = 1/2 ×m×v²

1400 × 9.8 × 400 = 0.5 × 1400 × v²

5488000 = 700v²

v² = 5488000 / 700

v² = 7840

v = √7840

v = 88.54 m/s

Work done by all forces is equal to change in KE

W_gravity + W_non - conservative = 1/2×m×(vf² - vi²)

we substitute

1400 × 9.8 × ( 3200-2800) - (5 × 10⁶) = 1/2 × 1400 × (vf² -0 )

488000 = 700 vf²

vf² = 488000 / 700

vf² = 697.1428

vf = √697.1428

vf = 26.4 m/s

The pulley system below uses a gasoline engine to raise a drill head up through a smooth drill pipe. The engine provides a const

polet [3.4K]

NB: The diagram of the pulley system is not shown but the information provided is sufficient to answer the question

Answer:

Power = 2702.56 W

Explanation:

Let the power consumed be P

Energy expended = E = mgh

height, h = 5 m

E = 80 * 9.8 * 5

E = 3920 J

$Power = \frac{Energy}{time}$

To calculate the time, t

From F = ma

F = 900 N

900 = 80 a

a = 900/80

a = 11.25 m/s²

From the equation of motion, $s = ut + 0.5at^{2}$

The drill head starts from rest, u = 0 m/s

$5 = 0 * t + (0.5*11.25*t^{2} )\\5 = 5.625t^{2}\\t^{2} = 5/5.625\\t^{2} = 0.889\\t = 0.943 s$

Power, P = E/t

P = 3920/0.0.943

P = 4157.79 W

But Efficiency, E = 0.65

P = 0.65 * 4157.79

Power = 2702.56 W

You are camping with two friends, Joe and Karl. Since all three of you like your privacy, you don't pitch your tents close toget

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

35.7 m

Explanation:

Let

$\mid A\mid=18.5 m$

$\mid B\mid=41 m$

We have to find the distance between Joe's and Karl'e tent.

$A_x=Acos\theta$

$A_y=Asin\theta$

Substitute the values then we get

$A_x=18.5cos23^{\circ}=17 m$

$A_y=18.5sin 23^{\circ}=7.2 m$

$B_x=41cos37.5^{\circ}=32.5 m$

$B_y=41sin37.5^{\circ}=-24.96 m$

Because vertical component of B lie in IV quadrant and y-inIV quadrant is negative.

By triangle addition of vector

$B=A+C$

$C=B-A$

$C_x=B_x-A_x=32.5-17=15.5 m$

$C_y=B_y-A_y=-24.96-7.2=-32.16\approx=-32.2 m$

$\mid C\mid=\sqrt{C^2_x+C^2_y}$

$\mid C\mid=\sqrt{(15.5)^2+(-32.2)^2}=35.7 m$

Hence, the distance between Joe's and Karl's tent=35.7 m

Number 13 please!!!!!!!!!!!

atroni [7]

'A' and 'C' both show that behavior.

'D' also shows it, but the object is moving backwards when time begins.
First it moves faster and faster backwards, then it moves slower and slower backwards.
