A coffee filter of mass 1.4 grams dropped from a height of 4 m reaches the ground with a speed of 0.9 m/s. How much kinetic ener

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The kinetic energy gained by the air molecules is 0.054313 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a coffee filter, m = 1.4 g

Height from which it is dropped, h = 4 m

Speed at ground, v = 0.9 m/s

Initially, the coffee filter has potential energy. It is given by :

$P=mgh\\\\P=1.4\times 10^{-3}\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 4\ m\\\\P=0.05488\ J$

Finally, it will have kinetic energy. It is given by :

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.4\times 10^{-3}\times (0.9)^2\\\\E=0.000567\ J$

The kinetic energy Kair did the air molecules gain from the falling coffee filter is :

$E=0.000567-0.05488=0.054313\ J$

So, the kinetic energy Kair did the air molecules gain from the falling coffee filter is 0.054313 .

An 850-lb force is applied to a 0.15-in. diameter nickel wire having a yield strength of 45,000 psi and a tensile strength of 55

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

a)Yes will deform plastically

b) Will NOT experience necking

Explanation:

Given:

- Applied Force F = 850 lb

- Diameter of wire D = 0.15 in

- Yield Strength Y=45,000 psi

- Ultimate Tensile strength U = 55,000 psi

Find:

a) Whether there will be plastic deformation

b) Whether there will be necking.

Solution:

Assuming a constant Force F, the stress in the wire will be:

stress = F / Area

Area = pi*D^2 / 4

Area = pi*0.15^2 / 4 = 0.0176715 in^2

stress = 850 / 0.0176715

stress = 48,100.16 psi

Yield Strength < Applied stress > Ultimate Tensile strength

45,000 < 48,100 < 55,000

Hence, stress applied is greater than Yield strength beyond which the wire will deform plasticly but insufficient enough to reach UTS responsible for the necking to initiate. Hence, wire deforms plastically but does not experience necking.

In an experiment, students measure the position x of a cart as a function of time t for a cart that starts at rest and moves wit

Minchanka [31]

Given :

Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s² .

To Find :

The acceleration of the cart.

Solution :

Since, acceleration is constant.

Using equation of motion :

$x = ut + \dfrac{at^2}{2}\\\\x = \dfrac{at^2}{2}$

Putting, t = 1 s and x = 4 m in above equation, we get :

$4 = \dfrac{a(1)^2}{2}\\\\a = 8 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the cart is 8 m/s².
