Answer:
Tension in the chains - In a chain drive, technically, you have a closed-chain (which has no end) going around 2 pulley or gears; looking closely you have 2 parallel chains going in opposite direction. If kept in horizontal direction, the one below the other is the slack side and the other the tight side. The tension on the upper or tight side is more than the slack side. So you need to keep in mind to keep your chain drive tight so that there is no loss or rotation or lags.
Sizes of the pulley/gear - The chain will be warped around a pair of pulley or gear. The sizes of these pulley/gear will also determine the efficiency of the chain drive (consider one big and one small)
Number of pulley/gear - If the number of pulley/gear is more and chain wrapped on it with little complexity will result in decrease in efficiency because of extra tension.
Length of the chain drive - You cannot have much too long chain drive. It will make your slack side more heavy because the end are further away. You have to apply more power and possibilities of lag increases decreasing efficiency. In an ideal situation, this won't happen, but this world isn't ideal.
Friction between chains & pulley/gear - If you have studied gears (involving its teeth), you will come to know that there is friction offered on the two meeting surfaces.
Angle of contact - This would have been explained better with a diagram. Although, if you are familiar with the terms you won't have difficulty understanding. Angle of contact is the angle the chain forms with the pulley/gear at the point of contact with the center of the pulley. The angle of contact should not be too small, or else the things will be slippery.
Explanation:
Remember the rule of thumb that every person learns in Elementary Science? You must do multiple experiments in order to get to a conclusion. In order for a conclusion to be valid you must test the conclusion multiple times. You wouldn't want a doctor to just test an aspirin 1 time on 1 patient and say yes it works correct? No, you would want him/her to test on multiple patients in multiple settings and conditions so that when you take an aspirin you know that it will work for what you are taking it for. So ..... with all that being said.....Your answer is (A). The results are more likely to have errors.
Given: Mass m = 290 Kg; Height h = 7 m
Required: Work = ?
Formula: Work = Force x distance but, Force F = mg
W= fd
W = mgh
W= (290 Kg)(9.8 m/s²)(7 m)
W = 19,894 Kg.m²/s²
W = 19,894 J
Answer:
a) The work done by a nonconservative force depends on the path taken. True.
c) A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force. True
d) A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies. True
Explanation:
Non-conservative forces dissipate. For example, friction or air resistance or drag.
A conservative force's property is that the work done in moving a particle does not depend on the path it has taken. For example, stored energy or potential energy. It permits two-way conversion between kinetic energy and potential energy. For example if a car goes up a hill, it converted kinetic energy in to potential energy. and if the car goes down the hill without hitting the gas pedal, it will roll down converting the potential energy in to kinetic energy.
b) A nonconservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies. False
e) A potential energy function can be specified for a nonconservative force. False
f) The work done by a conservative force depends on the path taken. False
Answer:
the rotational kinetic energy of the disk is 5,133.375 J
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the disk, m = 27 kg
radius of the disk, r = 1.3 m
angular speed, ω = 15 rad/s
The rotational kinetic energy of the disk is calculated as;

Therefore, the rotational kinetic energy of the disk is 5,133.375 J
