Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object that is used to do work. In other words, it is energy in an object due to its motion or position, or both.

A pickup truck is carrying a toolbox, but the rear gate of the truck is missing, so the box will slide out if it is set moving.

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

t=7.33 s

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law:

$\sum F=m*a$

because we don't want the box to slide, the acceleration has to be zero.

$\sum F=-F_{friction}+F_{truck}=0\\F_{truck}=F_{friction}\\F_{friction}=\µ*m*g=0.500*9.81*m\\F_{friction}=4.91*m$

we know that:

$F=m*a\\4.91m=m*a\\a=4.91m/s^2$

Now having the acceleration, we can use the following formula.

$v_f=a*t\\t=\frac{36.0m/s}{4.91m/s^2}\\\\t=7.33s$

A ball of mass 5 kg attached to a string is swung in a horizontal circle of radius 0.5 m. If the tension in the string is 10 N,

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

given,

mass of the ball = 5 kg

radius of the horizontal circle = 0.5 m

tension in the string = 10 N

Work done = ?

Work done by the tension in the circular path will be equal to zero.

This is because body moves in circular path, the centripetal force act along the radius of the circle and motion is right angle to the tension on the string.

so, work done = F s cos θ

θ = 90°,

work done = F s cos 90° ∵ cos 90° = 0

Work done = 0 J

An ideal heat engine absorbs 97.2 kJ of heat and exhausts 83.8 kJ of heat in each cycle. What is the efficiency of the engine?

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

13.7%

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat absorbed by the engine = 97.2 kJ

Heat exhausted by the engine in each cycle = 83.8 kJ

We need to find the efficiency of the engine. It is calculated by the formula.

$\eta=1-\dfrac{Q_e}{Q_a}\\\\=1-\dfrac{83.8}{97.2}\\\\=0.137\\\\=13.7\%$

so, the efficiency of heat engine is 13.7%.
