The speed of a box traveling on a horizontal friction surface changes from vi = 13 m/s to vf = 11.5 m/s in a distance of d = 8.5

Answer:

0.68 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity of box= $u=13m/s$

Final velocity of box=v=11.5 m/s

Distance=d=8.5 m

We have to find the time taken by box to slow by this amount.

We know that

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Substitute the values

$(11.5)^2-(13)^2=2a(8.5)$

$132.25-169=17a$

$-36.75=17a$

$a=\frac{-36.75}{17}=-2.2m/s^2$

We know that

Acceleration= $a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

Substitute the values

$-2.2=\frac{11.5-13}{t}$

$-2.2=\frac{-1.5}{t}$

$t=\frac{1.5}{2.2}=0.68 s$

Hence, the time taken by box to slow by this amount=0.68 s

A 117 kg horizontal platform is a uniform disk of radius 1.61 m and can rotate about the vertical axis through its center. A 62.

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

I_syst = 278.41477 kg.m²

Explanation:

Mass of platform; m1 = 117 kg

Radius; r = 1.61 m

Moment of inertia here is;

I1 = m1•r²/2

I1 = 117 × 1.61²/2

I1 = 151.63785 kg.m²

Mass of person; m2 = 62.5 kg

Distance of person from centre; r = 1.05 m

Moment of inertia here is;

I2 = m2•r²

I2 = 62.5 × 1.05²

I2 = 68.90625 kg.m²

Mass of dog; m3 = 28.3 kg

Distance of Dog from centre; r = 1.43 m

I3 = 28.3 × 1.43²

I3 = 57.87067 kg.m²

Thus,moment of inertia of the system;

I_syst = I1 + I2 + I3

I_syst = 151.63785 + 68.90625 + 57.87067

I_syst = 278.41477 kg.m²

A 65-kg ice skater stands facing a wall with his arms bent and then pushes away from the wall by straightening his arms. At the

Marrrta [24]

Our values can be defined like this,

$m = 65kg$

$v = 3.5m / s$

$d = 0.55m$

The problem can be solved for part A, through the Work Theorem that says the following,

$W = \Delta KE$

Where

KE = Kinetic energy,

Given things like that and replacing we have that the work is given by

W = Fd

and kinetic energy by

$\frac {1} {2} mv ^ 2$

So,

$Fd = \frac {1} {2} m ^ 2$

Clearing F,

$F = \frac {mv ^ 2} {2d}$

Replacing the values

$F = \frac {(65) (3.5)} {2 * 0.55}$

$F = 723.9N$

B) The work done by the wall is zero since there was no displacement of the wall, that is d = 0.

Sheila eats an energy bar right before she goes on a run. What energy changes will occur in sheila as she runs after eating?

LiRa [457]

The energy bar eaten by Sheila has chemical energy locked up inside it. This chemical energy is converted to mechanical energy in form of potential and kinetic energy and this in turn is converted to heat energy as the run progresses. Thus, the energy changes are: chemical energy to mechanical energy [kinetic and potential] and finally to heat energy.

What percentage of the takeoff velocity did the plane gain when it reached the midpoint of the runway? a plane accelerates from

ElenaW [278]

When is at the end of the runway the velocity of the plane is given by the equation $vf^{2}=0+2*a*s$ where s=1800 m is the runway length. Thus
$vf^{2}=2*5*1800=18000 (m/s)^{2}$
$vf =134.164 (m/s)$

At half runway the velocity of the plane is
$v^{2}=2*5* \frac{1800}{2}=9000 ( \frac{m}{s} )^{2}
$
$v= \sqrt{9000}=94.87 ( \frac{m}{s})$

Therefore at midpoint of runway the percentage of takeoff velocity is
‰ $P= \frac{v}{vf}= \frac{94.87}{134.164}=0.707$
