Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                         = (1/2) (1.4 kg) (22.5 m/s)²

                         =    (0.7 kg)  (506.25 m²/s² )

                         =          354.375  kg-m²/s²  =  354.375 joules .

This is just the kinetic energy associated with a 1.4-kg glob of
mass sailing through space at 22.5 m/s.  In the case of a frisbee,
it's also spinning, and there's some additional kinetic energy stored
in the spin.

Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 2.20×106 N , one at an angle 15.0 ∘ west of north,
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The total work done by the two tugboats on the supertanker is 3.44 *10^9 J

Explanation:

The force by the tugboats acting on the supertanker is constant and the displacement of the supertanker is along a straight line.

The angle between the 2 forces and displacement is ∅ = 15°.

First we have to calculate the work done by the individual force and then we can calculate the total work.

The work done on a particle by a constant force F during a straight line displacement s is given by following formula:

W = F*s

W = F*s*cos∅

With ∅ = the angles between F and s

The magnitude of the force acting on the supertanker is F of tugboat1 = F of tugboat 2 = F = 2.2 * 10^6 N

The total work done can be calculated as followed:

Wtotal = Ftugboat1 s * cos ∅1 + Ftugboat2 s* cos ∅2

Wtotal = 2Fs*cos∅

Wtotal = 2*2.2*10^6 N * 0.81 *10³ m s *cos15°

Wtotal = 3.44*10^9 Nm = <u>3.44 *10^9 J</u>

<u />

The total work done by the two tugboats on the supertanker is 3.44 *10^9 J

A wheel starts from rest and has an angular acceleration that is given by α (t) = (6.0 rad/s4)t2. After it has turned through 10
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

75 rad/s

Explanation:

The angular acceleration is the time rate of change of angular velocity. It is given by the formula:

α(t) = d/dt[ω(t)]

Hence: ω(t) = ∫a(t) dt

Also, angular velocity is the time rate of change of displacement. It is given by:

ω(t) = d/dt[θ(t)]

θ(t) = ∫w(t) dt

θ(t) = ∫∫α(t) dtdt

Given that: α (t) = (6.0 rad/s4)t² = 6t² rad/s⁴. Hence:

θ(t) = ∫∫α(t) dtdt

θ(t) = ∫∫6t² dtdt =∫[∫6t² dt]dt

θ(t) = ∫[2t³]dt = t⁴/2 rad

θ(t) = t⁴/2 rad

At θ(t) = 10 rev = (10 *  2π) rad = 20π rad, we can find t:

20π = t⁴/2

40π = t⁴

t = ⁴√40π

t = 3.348 s

ω(t) = ∫α(t) dt = ∫6t² dt = 2t³

ω(t) = 2t³

ω(3.348) = 2(3.348)³ = 75 rad/s

An engine is used to lift a beam weighing 9,800 N up to 145 m. How much work must the engine do to lift this beam? How much work
Arturiano [62]

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the engine used to lift a beam, W = 9800 N

Distance, d = 145 m

Work done by the engine to lift the beam is given by :

W = F d

W=9800\ N\times 145\ m\\\\W=1421000\ J\\\\W=1421\ kJ

Let W' is the work must be done to lift it 290 m. It is given by :

W'=9800\ N\times 290\ m\\\\W'=2842000\ J\\\\W'=2842\ kJ

Hence, this is the required solution.
