Answer:
vi = 4.77 ft/s
Explanation:
Given:
- The radius of the surface R = 1.45 ft
- The Angle at which the the sphere leaves
- Initial velocity vi
- Final velocity vf
Find:
Determine the sphere's initial speed.
Solution:
- Newton's second law of motion in centripetal direction is given as:
m*g*cos(θ) - N = m*v^2 / R
Where, m: mass of sphere
g: Gravitational Acceleration
θ: Angle with the vertical
N: Normal contact force.
- The sphere leaves surface at θ = 34°. The Normal contact is N = 0. Then we have:
m*g*cos(θ) - 0 = m*vf^2 / R
g*cos(θ) = vf^2 / R
vf^2 = R*g*cos(θ)
vf^2 = 1.45*32.2*cos(34)
vf^2 = 38.708 ft/s
- Using conservation of energy for initial release point and point where sphere leaves cylinder:
ΔK.E = ΔP.E
0.5*m* ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = m*g*(R - R*cos(θ))
( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))
vi^2 = vf^2 - 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))
vi^2 = 38.708 - 2*32.2*1.45*(1-cos(34))
vi^2 = 22.744
vi = 4.77 ft/s
Answer:
Option D
Explanation:
The work done can be given by the mechanical energy used to do work, i.e., Kinetic energy and potential energy provided to do the work.
In all the cases, except option D, the energy provided to do the useful work is not zero and hence work done is not zero.
In option D, the box is being pulled with constant velocity, making the acceleration zero and thus Kinetic energy of the system is zero. Hence work done in this case is zero.
We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states that an Ohmic conductor the following relationship holds:
where
is the potential difference applied to the resistor
I is the current flowing through it
R is the resistance
In our problem, I=4.00 A and
, so the potential difference is
