The tops of the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge in San franciscoo , are 227 m above the water. Suppose a worker drops a 655 g w

rench from the top of the tower. If the average force of air resistance is 0.141n , what will the kinetic energy of the wrench be when it hits the water

Answer:

Kinetic energy is 1425.11 J.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the wrench is, m=655\ g=0.655\ kg

Height of fall is, h=227\ m

Force of resistance is, F=0.141\ N

Now, the total energy at the top is equal to the potential energy of the wrench at the top since the kinetic energy at the top is 0.

Now, potential energy at the top is given as:

U=mgh\\U=0.655\times 9.8\times 227\\U=1457.113\ J

Now, the potential energy at the top is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and some energy is wasted in overcoming the resistance force by air.

Potential Energy = Kinetic energy + Energy to overcome resistance.

⇒ Kinetic energy = Potential Energy - Energy to overcome resistance.

Energy to overcome resistance force is the work done by the wrench against the resistance force and is given as:

W_{res}=Fh=0.141\times 227=32.007\ J

Therefore, Kinetic energy at the bottom is given as:

K=U-W_{res}\\\\K=1457.113\ J - 32.007\ J\\\\K=1425.106\approx1425.11\ J

Hence, the kinetic energy of the wrench be when it hits the water is 1425.11 J.

A truck traveling at a velocity of 33m/s comes to a halt by decelerating at 11m/s^2. How far does the truck travel in the proces
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

<u><em>The truck was moving 16.5 m/s during the time it took to stop, which was 3 seconds. </em></u>

  • <u><em>Initial velocity = 33 m/s</em></u>
  • <u><em>Final velocity = 0 m/s</em></u>
  • <u><em>Average velocity = (33 + 0) / 2  m/s = 16.5 m/s</em></u>

Explanation:

  1. <u><em>First, how long does it take the truck to come to a complete stop?</em></u>
  1. <u><em>( 33 m/s ) / ( 11 m / s^2 ) = 3 seconds</em></u>
  1. <u><em>Then we can look at the average velocity between when the truck started decelerating and when it came to a complete stop. Because the deceleration is constant (always 11m/s^2) we can use this trick.</em></u>
