Answer: Given:

Initial velocity= 36km/h=36x5/18=10m/s

Final velocity =54km/h=54x5/18=15m/s

Time =10sec

Acceleration = v-u/ t

=15-10/10=5/10=1/2=0.5 m/s2

Distance =s=?

From second equation of motion:

S=ut +1/2 at^2

=10*10+1/2*0.5*10*10

=100+25

=125m

So distance travelled 125m

Hope it helps you

Sheila uses a 45N force on her bowling ball across a 15m lane. What work did she do on the bowling ball? Show your work.

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

675J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force = 45N

Distance = 15m

Unknown:

Work done by Sheila = ?

Solution:

Work done by a body is the amount of force applied to make a body move through a distance;

Work done = Force x distance

Now;

Work done = 45 x 15 = 675J

A loaded ore car has a mass of 950 kg. and rolls on rails ofnegligible friction. It starts from rest ans is pulled up a mineshaf

stiks02 [169]

(a) 10241 W

In this situation, the car is moving at constant speed: this means that its acceleration along the direction parallel to the slope is zero, and so the net force along this direction is also zero.

The equation of the forces along the parallel direction is:

$F - mg sin \theta = 0$

where

F is the force applied to pull the car

m = 950 kg is the mass of the car

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$\theta=30.0^{\circ}$ is the angle of the incline

Solving for F,

$F=mg sin \theta = (950)(9.8)(sin 30.0^{\circ})=4655 N$

Now we know that the car is moving at constant velocity of

v = 2.20 m/s

So we can find the power done by the motor during the constant speed phase as

$P=Fv = (4655)(2.20)=10241 W$

(b) 10624 W

The maximum power is provided during the phase of acceleration, because during this phase the force applied is maximum. The acceleration of the car can be found with the equation

$v=u+at$

where

v = 2.20 m/s is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 12.0 s is the time

Solving for a,

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{2.20-0}{12.0}=0.183 m/s^2$

So now the equation of the forces along the direction parallel to the incline is

$F - mg sin \theta = ma$

And solving for F, we find the maximum force applied by the motor:

$F=ma+mgsin \theta =(950)(0.183)+(950)(9.8)(sin 30^{\circ})=4829 N$

The maximum power will be applied when the velocity is maximum, v = 2.20 m/s, and so it is:

$P=Fv=(4829)(2.20)=10624 W$

(c) $5.82\cdot 10^6 J$

Due to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy transferred out of the motor by work must be equal to the gravitational potential energy gained by the car.

The change in potential energy of the car is:

$\Delta U = mg \Delta h$
