What is the kinetic energy of a 1700 kg car traveling at a speed of 30 m/s (â65 mph)? does your answer to part b depend on the c

MArishka [77]

The kinetic energy of an object is given by
$K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2$
where m is the mass of the object and v its velocity.

For the car in the problem, $m=1700 kg$ and $v=30 m/s$ , so the kinetic energy of the car is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(1700 kg)(30 m/s)^2=7.65\cdot 10^5 J$

and as we can see, yes, the answer depends on the car's mass.

How much work is needed to push a 117- kg packing crate a distance of 2.75 m up an inclined plane that makes an angle of 28 o wi

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

$W_{tot,min} = 1481.372\,J$

Explanation:

The minimum total work is the work needed to counteract the work associated with the weight:

$W_{tot, min} = W_{F}$

$W_{tot,min} = m\cdot g\cdot \sin \theta \cdot \Delta s$

$W_{tot,min} = (117\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (\sin 28^{\textdegree}) \cdot (2.75\,m)$

$W_{tot,min} = 1481.372\,J$

Arm ab has a constant angular velocity of 16 rad/s counterclockwise. At the instant when theta = 60

geniusboy [140]

The <em>linear</em> acceleration of collar D when <em>θ = 60°</em> is - 693.867 inches per square second.

<h3>How to determine the angular velocity of a collar</h3>

In this question we have a system formed by three elements, the element AB experiments a <em>pure</em> rotation at <em>constant</em> velocity, the element BD has a <em>general plane</em> motion, which is a combination of rotation and traslation, and the ruff experiments a <em>pure</em> translation.

To determine the <em>linear</em> acceleration of the collar ( $a_{D}$ ), in inches per square second, we need to determine first all <em>linear</em> and <em>angular</em> velocities ( $v_{D}$ , $\omega_{BD}$ ), in inches per second and radians per second, respectively, and later all <em>linear</em> and <em>angular</em> accelerations ( $a_{D}$ , $\alpha_{BD}$ ), the latter in radians per square second.

By definitions of <em>relative</em> velocity and <em>relative</em> acceleration we build the following two systems of <em>linear</em> equations:

<h3>Velocities</h3>

$v_{D} + \omega_{BD}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \sin \gamma = -\omega_{AB}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \sin \theta$ (1)

$\omega_{BD}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \cos \gamma = -\omega_{AB}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \cos \theta$ (2)

<h3>Accelerations</h3>

$a_{D}+\alpha_{BD}\cdot \sin \gamma = -\omega_{AB}^{2}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \cos \theta -\alpha_{AB}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \sin \theta - \omega_{BD}^{2}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \cos \gamma$ (3)

$-\alpha_{BD}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \cos \gamma = - \omega_{AB}^{2}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \sin \theta + \alpha_{AB}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \cos \theta - \omega_{BD}^{2}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \sin \gamma$ (4)

If we know that $\theta = 60^{\circ}$ , $\gamma = 19.889^{\circ}$ , $r_{BD} = 10\,in$ , $\omega_{AB} = 16\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $r_{AB} = 3\,in$ and $\alpha_{AB} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , then the solution of the systems of linear equations are, respectively:

<h3>Velocities</h3>

$v_{D}+3.402\cdot \omega_{BD} = -41.569$ (1)

$9.404\cdot \omega_{BD} = -24$ (2)

$v_{D} = -32.887\,\frac{in}{s}$ , $\omega_{BD} = -2.552\,\frac{rad}{s}$

<h3>Accelerations</h3>

$a_{D}+3.402\cdot \alpha_{BD} = -445.242$ (3)

$-9.404\cdot \alpha_{BD} = -687.264$ (4)

$a_{D} = -693.867\,\frac{in}{s^{2}}$ , $\alpha_{BD} = 73.082\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

The <em>linear</em> acceleration of collar D when <em>θ = 60°</em> is - 693.867 inches per square second. $\blacksquare$

<h3>Remark</h3>

The statement is incomplete and figure is missing, complete form is introduced below:

<em>Arm AB has a constant angular velocity of 16 radians per second counterclockwise. At the instant when θ = 60°, determine the acceleration of collar D.</em>
