Answer:

c. V = 2 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy:

E_i =E_f

so:

Mgh = \frac{1}{2}IW^2 +\frac{1}{2}MV^2

where M is the mass, g the gravity, h the altitude, I the moment of inertia of the pulley, W the angular velocity of the pulley and V the velocity of the mass.

Also we know that:

V = WR

Where R is the radius of the disk, so:

W = V/R

Also, the moment of inertia of the disk is equal to:

I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2

I = \frac{1}{2}(5kg)(2m)^2

I = 10 kg*m^2

so, we can write the initial equation as:

Mgh = \frac{1}{2}IV^2/R^2 +\frac{1}{2}MV^2

Replacing the data:

(5kg)(9.8)(0.3m) = \frac{1}{2}(10)V^2/(2)^2 +\frac{1}{2}(5kg)V^2

solving for V:

(5kg)(9.8)(0.3m) = V^2(\frac{1}{2}(10)1/4 +\frac{1}{2}(5kg))

V = 2 m/s

Which of the following statements correctly describes the position of the intake and exhaust valves during most of the power sta
I am Lyosha [343]

Both valves are closed during the power stroke.

While the fuel is burning in the cylinder, you want
all the force of the expanding gases to push the
piston down ... you don't want any of the gases
or their pressure escaping. 

If either of the valves was open, even just a crack,
then part of the gases would go blooey out the valve,
and some pressure would be lost that's supposed to be
pushing the piston.

A car of mass 800kg travels a distance of 40m at constant speed in a duration of 2.0s. The car exerts a forward force of 15kN.
Alex17521 [72]

W = F × s

W = 15kN × 40 m

W = 15.000 N × 40 m

W = 600.000 J

P = W/t

P = 600.000 J/2 s

P = 300.000 Watt

P = 300kWatt
