Answer:

v = 1.42 m/s

Explanation:

While mass is falling downwards there is no frictional loss so here we can use mechanical energy conservation

So change in gravitational potential energy = gain in kinetic energy of the system

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2

for uniform cylinder we will have

I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2

now we have

mgh = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

mgh = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{2}MR^2)(\frac{v}{R})^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

mgh = \frac{1}{4}Mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

mgh = (\frac{M}{4} + \frac{m}{2})v^2

now we have

v^2 = \frac{mgh}{(\frac{M}{4} + \frac{m}{2})}

v^2 = \frac{40(9.81)(0.50)}{(\frac{310}{4} + \frac{40}{2})}

v = 1.42 m/s

A playground merry-go-round has a mass of 115 kg and a radius of 2.50 m and it is rotating with an angular velocity of 0.520 rev
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

W_f = 2.319 rad/s

Explanation:

For answer this we will use the law of the conservation of the angular momentum.

L_i = L_f

so:

I_mW_m = I_sW_f

where I_m is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round, W_m is the initial angular velocity of the merry-go-round, I_s is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round and the child together and W_f is the final angular velocity.

First, we will find the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round using:

I = \frac{1}{2}M_mR^2

I = \frac{1}{2}(115 kg)(2.5m)^2

I = 359.375 kg*m^2

Where M_m is the mass and R is the radio of the merry-go-round

Second, we will change the initial angular velocity to rad/s as:

W = 0.520*2\pi rad/s

W = 3.2672 rad/s

Third, we will find the moment of inertia of both after the collision:

I_s = \frac{1}{2}M_mR^2+mR^2

I_s = \frac{1}{2}(115kg)(2.5m)^2+(23.5kg)(2.5m)^2

I_s = 506.25kg*m^2

Finally we replace all the data:

(359.375)(3.2672) = (506.25)W_f

Solving for W_f:

W_f = 2.319 rad/s

The spring of a spring gun has force constant k = 400 N/m and negligible mass. The spring is compressed 6.00 cm and a ball with
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

A) v = 6.93 m/s

B) v = 4.9 m/s

C) x_m = 0.015m

D) v_max = 5.2 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

x = 6 cm = 0.06 m

k = 400 N

m = 0.03 kg

F = 6N

A) from work energy law, work dome by the spring on ball which now became a kinetic energy is;

Ws = K.E = ½kx²

Similarly, kinetic energy of ball is;

K.E = ½mv²

So, equating both equations, we have;

½kx² = ½mv²

Making v the subject gives;

v = √(kx²/m)

Plugging in the relevant values to give;

v = √((400 × 0.06²)/0.03)

v = √48

v = 6.93 m/s

B) If there is friction, the total work is;

Ws = ½kx² - - - (1)

Work of the ball is;

Wb = KE + Wf

So, Wb = ½mv² + fx - - - (2)

Combining both equations, we have;

½mv² + fx = ½kx²

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

(½ × 0.03 × v²) + (6 × 0.06) = ½ × 400 × 0.06²

0.015v² + 0.36 = 0.72

0.015v² = 0.72 - 0.36

v² = 0.36/0.015

v = √24

v = 4.9 m/s

C) The speed is greatest where the acceleration stops i.e. where the net force on the ball is zero. (ie spring force matches 6.0N friction)

So, from F = Kx;

(x is measured into barrel from end where F = 0)

Thus; 6.0 = 400x

x_m = 6/400

x_m = 0.015m from the end after traveling 0.045m

D) Initial force on ball = (Kx - F) =

[(400 x 0.06) - 6.0] = 18N

Final force on ball = 0N

Mean Net force on ball = ½(18 + 0)

Mean met force, F_m = 9N

Net Work Done on ball = KE = 9N x 0.045m = 0.405 J

Thus;

½m(v_max)² = 0.405J

(v_max)² = 2 x 0.405/0.03

(v_max)² = 27

v(max) = √27

v_max = 5.2 m/s

joja [24]

Answer:17.44A

Explanation: Current density=I/Area

Area is given by 2.79mm^2=2.79×10^-6m^2

Current=I=current density ×Area=6.25×10^6 ×2.79×10^-6=17.44A
