Two hoops, starting from rest, roll down identical inclined planes. The work done by nonconservative forces, such as air resiste

nce, is zero (Wnc = 0J). Both have the same mass M, but, one hoop has the twice the radius of the other. The moment of inertia for each hoop is I = Mr sequared, where r is the radius. Which hoop, if either has the greater total kinetic energy (transational and rotational) at the bottom of the incline.
Hoop 1 Radius = R and Mass = M
Hoop 2 Radius = 1/2 R and Mass = M

Answer: both hoops have the same kinetic energy at the bottom of the incline.

Explanation:

If we assume no work done by non conservative forces (like friction) , the total mechanical energy must be conserved.

K1 + U1 = K2 + U2

If both hoops start from rest, and we choose the bottom of the incline to be the the zero reference level for gravitational potential energy, then

K1 = 0 and U2 = 0

⇒ ΔK = ΔU = m g. h

If both inclines have the same height, and both hoops have the same mass m, the  change in kinetic energy, must be the same for both hoops.

A helicopter flies with an air speed of 175 km/h, heading south. The wind is blowing at 85 km/h to the east relative to the grou
spayn [35]

Answer:

154° at 195 km/h

Explanation:

The helicopter is moving south at 175 km/h, relative to the wind.

But the wind is moving east at 85 km/h, relative to the ground.

This means that the helicopter is moving south east relative to the ground.

Every hour, the helicopter will move 175 km to the south and 85 km to the east, relative to the ground.

This means that we can determine the speed and direction of the helicopter using a right triangle and simple trigonometry.

Refer to the triangle b1.

The distance traveled by the helicopter in 1 hour is denoted by d.

d is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can calculate d to be 195 km (rounded to 3 s. f.)

Hence the helicopter is traveling at 195 km/h relative to the ground.

To calculate the direction we use,

tan (x) = opposite/adjacent = 85/175

So the angle x is,

x = arctan (\frac{85}{175} ) = 25.9°

Relative to the North, the helicopter is moving at 180° - 25.9° = 154° (rounded to 3 s. f.)

A student of mass 40kg takes 10s to run up a flight of 50steps. If each step is 15cm high, calculate the Potential Energy of the
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

2943 J

Explanation:

Potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height in meters

(P.E. = mgh)

Substitute the given numbers: (I take acceleration due to gravity as 9.81 m s^-2)

PE = 40 x 9.81 x (0.15x50)

PE = 2943 J
