The answer is: 720W
The definition of Power is:P =L/t =→F⋅→s/t =→F⋅→s/t = →F⋅→v
The ⋅ in the last formulation designate a scalar product, well-defined by:
→v . →w = |v| |w| cos(ˆvw), the angle ˆvw is 0 because →F and →v are parallel, so the cosinus is 1.
So: P=1800N⋅ 0,40m/s=720W.

Find the position vector of a particle that has the given acceleration and the specified initial velocity and position. a(t) = 1
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Acceleration a(t)=14t\hat{i]+\sin (t)\hat{j}+\cos (2t)\hat{k}[/tex]

and v(0)=\hat{i}

r(0)=\hat{j}

we know a=\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t}

\int dv=\int adt

v(t)=\int (14t\hat{i}+\sin (t)\hat{j}+\cos (2t)\hat{k})dt

v(t)=7t^2\hat{i}-\cos t\hat{j}+\frac{\sin (2t)\hat{k}}{2}+c

at t=0

v(0)=0-1\cdot \hat{j}+0+c

c=\hat{i}+\hat{j}

v(t)=(7t^2+1)\hat{i}+(1-\cos t)\hat{j}+\frac{\sin (2t)\hat{k}}{2}

and \frac{\mathrm{d} r}{\mathrm{d} t}=v(t)

\int dr=\int vdt

r(t)=\int ((7t^2+1)\hat{i}+(1-\cos t)\hat{j}+\frac{\sin (2t)\hat{k}}{2})dt

r(t)=(\frac{7}{2}t^3+t)\hat{i}+(t-\sin (t))\hat{j}+\frac{1}{2}\times (-\frac{1}{2}\cos 2t)\hat{k}+c_2

at t=0

r(0)=\hat{j}

r(t)=(\frac{7}{3}t^3+t)\hat{i}+(1+t-\sin t)\hat{j}+\frac{1}{4}(1-\cos 2t)\hat{k}

A mass of 240 grams oscillates on a horizontal frictionless surface at a frequency of 2.5 Hz and with amplitude of 4.5 cm.
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

(a) The spring constant is 59.23 N/m

(b) The total energy involved in the motion is 0.06 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass, m = 240 g = 0.24 kg

frequency, f = 2.5 Hz

amplitude of the oscillation, A = 4.5 cm = 0.045 m

The  angular speed is calculated as;

ω = 2πf

ω = 2 x π x 2.5

ω = 15.71 rad/s

(a) The spring constant is calculated as;

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega ^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\\\k = m\omega ^2\\\\where;\\\\k \ is \ the \ spring \ constant\\\\k = (0.24) \times (15.71)^2\\\\k = 59.23 \ N/m

(b) The total energy involved in the motion;

E = ¹/₂kA²

E = (0.5) x (59.23) x (0.045)²

E = 0.06 J

What is the difference between free fall and weightlessness
TiliK225 [7]
Free fall means your falling because of gravity and weight and will eventually hit the ground without any protection. weightlessness means a place or time where there is no gravity and you're floating and not falling.

Two satellites, X and Y, are orbiting Earth. Satellite X is 1.2 × 106 m from Earth, and Satellite Y is 1.9 × 105 m from Earth. W
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer: Satellite X has a greater period and a slower tangential speed than Satellite Y

Explanation:

According to Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary motion “The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”.

T^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}r^{3}    (1)

Where;

G=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}} is the Gravitational Constant

M=5.972(10)^{24}kg is the mass of the Earth

r  is the semimajor axis of the orbit each satellite describes around Earth (assuming it is a circular orbit, the semimajor axis is equal to the radius of the orbit)

So for satellite X, the orbital period T_{X} is:

T_{X}^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}r_{X}^{3}    (2)

Where r_{X}=1.2(10)^{6}m

T_{X}^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}(1.2(10)^{6}m)^{3}    (3)

T_{X}=413.712 s    (4)

For satellite Y, the orbital period T_{Y} is:

T_{Y}^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}r_{Y}^{3}    (5)

Where r_{Y}=1.9(10)^{5}m

T_{Y}^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}(1.9(10)^{5}m)^{3}    (6)

T_{Y}=26.064 s    (7)

This means T_{X}>T_{Y}

Now let's calculate the tangential speed for both satellites:

<u>For Satellite X:</u>

V_{X}=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r_{X}}} (8)

V_{X}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}{1.2(10)^{6}m}}

V_{X}=18224.783 m/s (9)

<u>For Satellite Y:</u>

V_{Y}=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r_{Y}}} (10)

V_{Y}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}{1.9(10)^{5}m}}

V_{Y}= 45801.13 m/s (11)

This means V_{Y}>V_{X}

Therefore:

Satellite X has a greater period and a slower tangential speed than Satellite Y
