nalin [4]
<span>1.7 rad/s The key thing here is conservation of angular momentum. The system as a whole will retain the same angular momentum. The initial velocity is 1.7 rad/s. As the person walks closer to the center of the spinning disk, the speed will increase. But I'm not going to bother calculating by how much. Just remember the speed will increase. And then as the person walks back out to the rim to the same distance that the person originally started, the speed will decrease. But during the entire walk, the total angular momentum remained constant. And since the initial mass distribution matches the final mass distribution, the final angular speed will match the initial angular speed.</span>

1)the car's engine power is 44000W. Explain this number in a physical sense
Ratling [72]

Answer:

1) It expresses the rate (top speed) at which it can move with time.

2) P = 20 W

3) h = 18 km

Explanation:

1) Power is the rate of transfer of energy.

⇒ Power = \frac{Energy(or workdone)}{Time}

i.e P = \frac{E}{t}

Thus a car's engine power is 44000W implies that the engine of the car can propel the car at this rate. This expresses the rate (top speed) at which it can move with time.

2) m = 400g = 0.4 kg

    t = 20 s

h = 100m

g = 10 m/s^{2}

P = \frac{mgh}{t}

  = \frac{0.4*10*100}{20}

  = \frac{400}{20}

P = 20 W

3) u = 600 m/s

   g = 10 m/s^{2}

From the third equation of free fall,

V^{2} = U^{2} - 2gh

V is the final velocity, U is the initial velocity, h is the height.

0 = (600)^{2} - 2 x 10 x h

0 = 360000 - 20h

20h = 360000

h = \frac{360000}{20}

  = 18000

h = 18 km

The maximum height of the bullet would be 18 km.
