How are power ratings used to describe machines?

Physics
2 answers:
kherson [118]2 years ago
8 0

power ratings basically just compare with how many watts are used, like a tackle in football compares to a car engine

For historical reasons, the horsepower is occasionally used to describe the power delivered by a machine. One horsepower is equivalent to approximately 750 Watts. ... Thus, the power of a machine is the work/time ratio for that particular machine. A car engine is an example of a machine that is given a power rating.

A 25kg chair initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires 165 N force to set it in motion. Once the chair is in motion, a 12
bazaltina [42]

The coefficient of static friction between the chair and the floor is 0.67

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the chair = 25kg

Force = 165 N (F_applied)

Force = 127 N (F_max)

To find: Coefficient of static friction  

The “coefficient of static friction” between a chair and the floor is defined as the ration of maximum force to the normal force acting on the chair  

μ_s=F_{max}/F_{n}  

The F_n is equal to the weight multiplied by its gravity

∴F_{n}=mg  

Thus the coefficient of static friction changes as

μ_s=F_{max}/mg

μ_{s} = =165N/((25kg)\times(9.80 m/s^2 ) )

= 0.67

A girl and a boy are riding on a merry go round that is turning at a constant rate. The girl is near the outer edge, and the boy
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The girl has greater tangential acceleration

Explanation:

The angular acceleration (\alpha) of the merry go round is equal to the rate of the change of the angular velocity, \omega:

\alpha = \frac{d\omega}{dt}

Since all the points of the merry go round complete 1 circle in the same time, the angular velocity of each point of the merry go round is the same, and so all the points also have the same angular acceleration.

The tangential acceleration instead is given by

a_t = \alpha r

where

\alpha is the angular acceleration

r is the distance from the centre of the merry go round

Since the girl is near the outer edge and the boy is closer to the centre, the value of r for the girl is larger than for the boy, so the girl has greater tangential acceleration.

A basketball player makes a jump shot. The 0.599 kg ball is released at a height of 2.18 m above the floor with a speed of 7.05
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

W_{drag} = 4.223\,J

Explanation:

The situation can be described by the Principle of Energy Conservation and the Work-Energy Theorem:

U_{g,A}+K_{A} = U_{g,B} + K_{B} + W_{drag}

The work done on the ball due to drag is:

W_{drag} = (U_{g,A}-U_{g,B})+(K_{A}-K_{B})

W_{drag} = m\cdot g\cdot (h_{A}-h_{B})+ \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{A}^{2}-v_{B}^{2})

W_{drag} = (0.599\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (2.18\,m-3.10\,m)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (0.599\,kg)\cdot [(7.05\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(4.19\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}]

W_{drag} = 4.223\,J
