Answer:

  Potential energy = 73.575 kJ

  Kinetic energy = 135kJ

  Total mechanical energy = 208.575 kJ

Explanation:

   The potential energy of a body is given by the expression, PE = mgh, where m is the mass of the body, g is the acceleration due to gravity value and h is the height of the body.

  The kinetic energy of a body is given by KE=\frac{1}{2} mv^2, where v is the velocity and m is the mass of body.

  Total mechanical energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

  KE=\frac{1}{2} mv^2=\frac{1}{2} *75*60^2= 135000J = 135kJ

  PE = mgh = 75*9.81*100 = 73575 J = 73.575 kJ

  Total mechanical energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy = 135+73.575

                                             = 208.575 kJ

An electron that has a velocity with x component 1.6 × 106 m/s and y component 2.4 × 106 m/s moves through a uniform magnetic fi
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

(a) 5.056 x 10^-14 N

(b) 5.056 x 10^-14 N

Explanation:

X component of velocity of electron is 1.6 × 10^6 m/s

Y component of velocity of electron is 2.4 × 10^6 m/s

X component of magnetic field is 0.025 T

Y component of magnetic field is  -0.16 T

charge on electron, q = - 1.6 x 10^-19 C

Write the velocity and magnetic field in the vector forms.

\overrightarrow{v}=1.6\times 10^{6}\widehat{i}+2.4\times 10^{6}\widehat{j}

\overrightarrow{B}=0.025\widehat{i}-0.16\widehat{j}

The force on the charge particle when it is moving in the magnetic field is given by

\overrightarrow{F}=q\left ( \overrightarrow{v}\times \overrightarrow{B} \right )

(a) Force on electron is given by

\overrightarrow{F}=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\left ( 1.6\times 10^{6}\widehat{i}+2.4\times 10^{6}\widehat{j} \right )\times \left ( 0.025\widehat{i}-0.16\widehat{j} \right )

\overrightarrow{F}=5.056\times 10^{-14}\widehat{k}

Magnitude of force is 5.056 x 10^-14 N.

(b) Force on a proton is given by

\overrightarrow{F}=1.6\times 10^{-19}\left ( 1.6\times 10^{6}\widehat{i}+2.4\times 10^{6}\widehat{j} \right )\times \left ( 0.025\widehat{i}-0.16\widehat{j} \right )

\overrightarrow{F}=-5.056\times 10^{-14}\widehat{k}

Magnitude of force is 5.056 x 10^-14 N.

Thus, the magnitude of force remains same but the direction of force is opposite to each other.

The outer layer of cable on a cable reel is 16.2 cm from the center of the reel. The reel is initially stationary and can rotate
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

B. w=12.68rad/s

C. α=3.52rad/s^2

Explanation:

B)

We can solve this problem by taking into account that (as in the uniformly accelerated motion)

\theta=\omega_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2}\\\theta = \frac{s}{r}      ( 1 )

where w0 is the initial angular speed, α is the angular acceleration, s is the arc length and r is the radius.

In this case s=3.7m, r=16.2cm=0.162m, t=3.6s and w0=0. Hence, by using the equations (1) we have

\theta=\frac{3.7m}{0.162m}=22.83rad

22.83rad=\frac{1}{2}\alpha (3.6s)^2\\\\\alpha=2\frac{(22.83rad)}{3.6^2s}=3.52\frac{rad}{s^2}

to calculate the angular speed w we can use\alpha=\frac{\omega _{f}-\omega _{i}}{t _{f}-t _{i}}\\\\\omega_{f}=\alpha t_{f}=(3.52\frac{rad}{s^2})(3.6)=12.68\frac{rad}{s}

Thus, wf=12.68rad/s

C) We can use our result in B)

\alpha=3.52\frac{rad}{s^2}

I hope this is useful for you
