A cyclist starts from rest and coasts down a 4.0∘ hill. The mass of the cyclist plus bicycle is 85 kg. Ignore air resistance and

friction.
A) After the cyclist has traveled 180 m , what was the net work done by gravity on the cyclist?

B) How fast is the cyclist going? in m/s

A) change in ht after 180m = 180 * sin(4-deg.) = 12.56m

net work done by gravity on the cyclist = mass * gravity * height diff.

= 85 * 9.8 * 12.56

= 10470J

= 10.5kJ

B) Kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass * vel.^2 = work done by gravity = 10470J

vel.^2 = 10470 * 2 / 85 = 246.4

vel. = 15.7m/s

A vertical cylindrical tank 10 ft in diameter, has an inflow line of 0.3 ft inside diameter and an outflow line of 0.4 ft inside
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

\frac{dh}{dt} = 1.3 \times 10^{-3} \frac{ft}{s}, level is rising.

Explanation:

Since liquid water is a incompresible fluid, density can be eliminated of the equation of Mass Conservation, which is simplified as follows:

\dot V_{in} - \dot V_{out} = \frac{dV_{tank}}{dt}

\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in}-\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out}= \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{tank}^{2} \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} \\D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in} - D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out} = D_{tank}^{2} \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} \\\frac{dh}{dt}  = \frac{D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in} - D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out}}{D_{tank}^{2}}

By replacing all known variables:

\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{(0.3 ft)^{2}\cdot (5 \frac{ft}{s} ) - (0.4 ft)^{2} \cdot (2 \frac{ft}{s} )}{(10 ft)^{2}}\\\frac{dh}{dt} = 1.3 \times 10^{-3} \frac{ft}{s}

The positive sign of the rate of change of the tank level indicates a rising behaviour.
