A girl rides her bike 5.4 km due east. While riding she experiences a resistive force from the air that has a magnitude of 3.1 N

and points due west. She then turns around and rides due west, back to her starting point. The resistive force from the air on the return trip has a magnitude of 3.3 N and points due east.?

Answer:

(A) = 34,560 J

(B) Work done during the round trip is not zero, hence the resistive force is not a conservative force.

Explanation:

This question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A girl rides her bike 5.4 km due east. While riding she experiences a resistive force from the air that has a magnitude of 3.1 N and points due west. She then turns around and rides due west, back to her starting point. The resistive force from the air on the return trip has a magnitude of 3.3 N and points due east.? (a) Find the work done by the resistive force during the round trip. (b) Based on your answer to part (a), is the resistive force a conservative force? Explain.

SOLUTION:

distance covered by the girl due east (De) = 5.4 km = 5400 m

magnitude of resistive force by the air (Fw) = 3.1 N due west

distance covered by the girl due west (Dw) = 5.4 km = 5400 m

magnitude of resistive force by the air (Fe) = 3.3 N due east

(A) to find the work done by the resistive force during the round trip we have to get the work done by the resistive force due west and add it to the work done by the resistive force due east

  • work done by the resistive force due west = (Fw.cosθ) x De

        where θ is the angle between the displacement and the force. The    

        displacement is due east while the force is due west, hence θ = 180°

       work done (W1) = (3.1 x cos 180) x 5400 = -16,740 j

  • work done by the resistive force due east = (Fe.cosθ) x Dw

        where θ is the angle between the displacement and the force. The    

        displacement is due west while the force is due east, hence θ = 180°

       work done (W2) = (3.3 x cos 180) x 5400 = -17,820 j

Hence work done during the round trip = W1 + W2 = (-16,740 ) + (-17,820)

= 34,560 J

(B) A conservative force is a force in which the work done by the force in moving an object around a closed path is zero. From part (A) above the work done during the round trip is not zero, hence the resistive force is not a conservative force.

A Carnot engine's operating temperatures are 240 ∘C and 20 ∘C. The engine's power output is 910 W . Part A Calculate the rate of
scoray [572]

Answer:1200

Explanation:

Given data

Upper Temprature\left ( T_H\right )=240^{\circ}\approx 513

Lower Temprature \left ( T_L\right )=20^{\circ}\approx 293

Engine power ouput\left ( W\right )=910 W

Efficiency of carnot cycle is given by

\eta =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

\eta =\frac{W_s}{Q_s}

1-\frac{293}{513}=\frac{910}{Q_s}

Q_s=2121.954 W

Q_r=1211.954 W

rounding off to two significant figures

Q_r=1200 W

When the play button is pressed, a CD accelerates uniformly from rest to 450 rev/min in 3.0 revolutions. If the CD has a radius
Marina CMI [18]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion.

Torque from the rotational movement is defined as

\tau = I\alpha

where

I = Moment of inertia \rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mr^2 For a disk

\alpha = Angular acceleration

The angular acceleration at the same time can be defined as function of angular velocity and angular displacement (Without considering time) through the expression:

2 \alpha \theta = \omega_f^2-\omega_i^2

Where

\omega_{f,i} = Final and Initial Angular velocity

\alpha = Angular acceleration

\theta = Angular displacement

Our values are given as

\omega_i = 0 rad/s

\omega_f = 450rev/min (\frac{1min}{60s})(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})

\omega_f = 47.12rad/s

\theta = 3 rev (\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev}) \rightarrow 6\pi rad

r = 7cm = 7*10^{-2}m

m = 17g = 17*10^{-3}kg

Using the expression of angular acceleration we can find the to then find the torque, that is,

2\alpha\theta=\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2

\alpha=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}

\alpha = \frac{47.12^2-0^2}{2*6\pi}

\alpha = 58.89rad/s^2

With the expression of the acceleration found it is now necessary to replace it on the torque equation and the respective moment of inertia for the disk, so

\tau = I\alpha

\tau = (\frac{1}{2}mr^2)\alpha

\tau = (\frac{1}{2}(17*10^{-3})(7*10^{-2})^2)(58.89)

\tau = 0.00245N\cdot m \approx 2.45*10^{-3}N\cdot m

Therefore the torque exerted on it is 2.45*10^{-3}N\cdot m
