<span>Let's convert the speed to m/s: speed = (55 mph) (1609.3 m / mile) (1 hour / 3600 seconds) speed = 24.59 m/s Let's convert the mass to kilograms: mass = (2135 lb) (0.45359 kg / lb) mass = 968.4 kg We can find the kinetic energy KE: KE = (1/2) m v^2 KE = (1/2) (968.4 kg) (24.59 m/s)^2 KE = 292780 joules The kinetic energy of the automobile is 292780 joules.</span>

a 230 kg roller coaster reaches the top of the steepest hill with a speed of 6.2 km/h. It then descends the hill, which is at an
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: 81.619 kJ

Explanation:

Given

Mass of roller coaster is m=230\ kg

It reaches the steepest hill with speed of u=6.2\ km/h\ or \ 1.72\ m/s

Hill to bottom is 51 m long with inclination of 45^{\circ}

Height of the hill is h=51\sin 45^{\circ}=36.06\ m

Conserving energy to get kinetic energy at bottom

Energy at top=Energy at bottom

\Rightarrow K_t+U_t=K_b+U_b\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh=K_b+0\\\\\Rightarrow K_b=0.5\times 230\times 1.72^2+230\times 9.8\times 36.06\\\Rightarrow K_b=340.216+81,279.24\\\Rightarrow K_b=81,619.456\ J\\\Rightarrow K_b=81.619\ kJ

A 180 lb crate is on the ground, and a strong rope is attached. You need to move it across the basement floor, which has a coeff
jekas [21]

Answer:

F = 505.13 N

Yes it is better to pull the rope rather than push it

Explanation:

Let the force is applied at an angle of 60 degree

so we will have net vertical force on the crate is given as

F_n + Fsin60 = mg

here we know

m = 180 lb

m = 81.65 kg

F_n = 81.65(9.81) - Fsin60

F_n = 801 - 0.866 F

now friction force on the crate is given as

F_x = \mu F_n

Fcos60 = 0.7(801 - 0.866 F)

0.5F + 0.61F = 560.7

F = 505.13 N

Yes it is better to pull the rope rather than push it

In the Biomedical and Physical Sciences building at MSU there are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor. Each step
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

W = 16.5 Kj

P = 49.9 Watt

E = 16471

Explanation:

m = 73.5kg

t = 5min 30sec = (5×60) + 30 = 330sec

each step = 16.6cm = 0.166m

h = 135×0.166 = 22.41 m

g = 10 m/s²

(i) W = F × s = W × h = mgh

W = 73.5×10×22.41 = 16471.35

W = 16.5 Kj

(ii) Power = workdone/time

P = 16471.35/330

P = 49.9 Watt

(iii) The energy burnt in this process = 16471
