Answer:

A) 35.5N/m b) 20.1cm

Explanation:

Using Hooke's law;

F = Ke where F is the weight of the object = mass of the object in kg * acceleration due to gravity in m/s^2 and k if the force constant of the spring in N/m and e is the extension of the spring which original length of the spring - new length after extension in meters

For the first body, m*g = K * (0.25- li)

Where li is the initial length of the spring

0.175*9.81 = k(0.25-li)

1.72 = k(0.25-li) as equation 1

For the second body, m *g = K* ( 0.775-li)

2.075*9.81 = k (0.775-li) equation 2

20.36 = k(0.775-li)

Make li subject of the formula;

li = 0.775 - 20.36/k

Substitute for li in equation 1

1.72 = k(0.25- (0.775 - 20.36/k))

1.72 = k ( 0.25 - 0.775 + 20.36/k)

Open the bracket with k

1.72 = 0.25k - 0.775k + 20.36 (since k cancel k)

Collect the like terms:

1.72 - 20.36 = - 0.525k

- 18.64 = -0.525k

Divide both side by -0.525

-18.64/-0.525 = -0.525/-0.525k

K = 35.5N/m

B) substitute for k in using

li = 0.775 - 20.36/k

li = 0.775 - 20.36/35.5

li = 0.775 - 0.574

li = 0.201 in meters

li = 0.201 * 100 centimeters = 20.1cm

A piece of toast weighing 8 grams is flying through the air at 15
Ket [755]

The kinetic energy of toast is 0.06 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Kinetic energy is the way to determine the energy released when an object is in motion. In other times, it can be the energy required to move any object and to make it in motion.

As the mass of the toast is given as 8 g and speed is given as 15 m/s, if we ignore the friction caused by air molecules. Then the kinetic energy is the product of mass and square of velocity.

K.E. = \frac{1}{2} × mass × v²

Kinetic energy =\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{8}{1000} \times 15

Since, the weight is given in grams , it needed to be converted into kg.

Kinetic energy = 0.06 J

Thus, the kinetic energy of toast is 0.06 J.

8. An unpowered flywheel is slowed by a constant frictional torque. At time t = 0 it has an angular velocity of 200 rad/s. Ten s
allsm [11]

Answer:

a) \omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}, b) \omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

The magnitude of torque is a form of moment, that is, a product of force and lever arm (distance), and force is the product of mass and acceleration for rotating systems with constant mass. That is:

\tau = F \cdot r

\tau = m\cdot a \cdot r

\tau = m \cdot \alpha \cdot r^{2}

Where \alpha is the angular acceleration, which is constant as torque is constant. Angular deceleration experimented by the unpowered flywheel is:

\alpha = \frac{170\,\frac{rad}{s} - 200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{10\,s}

\alpha = -3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}

Now, angular velocities of the unpowered flywheel at 50 seconds and 100 seconds are, respectively:

a) t = 50 s.

\omega = 200\,\frac{rad}{s} - \left(3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (50\,s)

\omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}

b) t = 100 s.

Given that friction is of reactive nature. Frictional torque works on the unpowered flywheel until angular velocity is reduced to zero, whose instant is:

t = \frac{0\,\frac{rad}{s}-200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{\left(-3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)}

t = 66.667\,s

Since t > 66.667\,s, then the angular velocity is equal to zero. Therefore:

\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}

Ahmad is riding his bicycle. He finds that he can accelerate from rest at 0.44 m/s^2 for 5 s to reach a speed of 2.2 m/s. The to
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo is 529.74 N

2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo is 647.46 N

Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of Christian and his bicycle = 54 kg

The mass of the cargo = 12 kg

1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = Mass of Christian and his bicycle × Acceleration due to gravity

∴ The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = 54 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 529.74 N

2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo = (54 + 12) kg × 9.81 m/s² = 647.46 N

Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo.
