Answer:

V=22.4m/s;T=2.29s

Explanation:

We will use two formulas in order to solve this problem. To determine the velocity at the bottom we can use potential and kinetic energy to solve for the velocity and use the uniformly accelerated displacement formula:

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\\\X= V_{0}t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}

Solving for velocity using equation 1:

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} \\\\gh=\frac{v^{2}}{2}\\\\\sqrt{2gh}=v\\\\v=\sqrt{2*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}*25.6m}=22.4\frac{m}{s}

Solving for time in equation 2:

-25.6m = 0\frac{m}{s}t-\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}t^{2}}{2}\\\\-51.2m=-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}t^{2}\\\\t=\sqrt{\frac{51.2m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}=2.29s

Why caring a body and moving with it is not a work done<br><br> Why :​
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Work done on an object is equal to

FDcos(angle).

So, naturally, if you lift a book from the floor on top of the table you do work on it since you are applying a force through a distance.

However, I often see the example of carrying a book through a horizontal distance is not work. The reasoning given is this: The force you apply is in the vertical distance, countering gravity and thus not in the direction of motion.

But surely you must be applying a force (and thus work) in the horizontal direction as the book would stop due to air friction if not for your fingers?

Is applying a force through a distance only work if causes an acceleration? That wouldn't make sense in my mind. If you are dragging a sled through snow, you are still doing work on it, since the force is in the direction of motion. This goes even if velocity is constant due to friction.

You set out to design a car that uses the energy stored in a flywheel consisting of a uniform 101-kg cylinder of radius r that h
Ket [755]
Ok, assuming "mj" in the question is Megajoules MJ) you need a total amount of rotational kinetic energy in the fly wheel at the beginning of the trip that equals
(2.4e6 J/km)x(300 km)=7.2e8 J
The expression for rotational kinetic energy is

E = (1/2)Iω²  

where I is the moment of inertia of the fly wheel and ω is the angular velocity.  
So this comes down to finding the value of I that gives the required energy.  We know the mass is 101kg.  The formula for a solid cylinder's moment of inertia is

 I = (1/2)mR²

We want (1/2)Iω² = 7.2e8 J and we know ω is limited to 470 revs/sec.  However, ω must be in radians per second so multiply it by 2π to get 
ω = 2953.1 rad/s
Now let's use this to solve the energy equation, E = (1/2)Iω²,  for I:
I = 2(7.2e8 J)/(2953.1 rad/s)² = 165.12 kg·m²

Now find the radius R,

 165.12 kg·m² = (1/2)(101)R²,
√(2·165/101) = 1.807m

R = 1.807m
