When you ride a bicycle at constant speed, nearly all the energy you expend goes into the work you do against the drag force of

the air. Model a cyclist as having cross-section area 0.40 m2 and, because the human body is not aerodynamically shaped, a drag coefficient of 0.90.
What is the cyclist's power output while riding at a steady 7.3 m/s?

Answer:

Power output = 96.506 watts

Explanation:

Drag coefficient (Cd) = 0.9

V = 7.3 m/s

Air density (ρ) = 1.225 kg/m^(3)

Area (A) = 0.45 m^2

Let's find the drag force ;

Fd=(1/2)(Cd)(ρ)(A)(v^(2))

So Fd = (1/2)(0.9)(1.225)(0.45)(7.3^(2)) = 13.22N

Drag power = Drag Force x Drag velocity.

Thus drag power, = 13.22 x 7.3 = 96.506 watts

The concept required to solve this problem is associated with potential energy. Recall that potential energy is defined as the product between mass, gravity, and change in height. Mathematically it can be described as

U = mg\Delta h

Here,

\Delta h = Change in height

m = mass of super heroine

g = Acceleration due to gravity

The change in height will be,

\Delta h = h_f - h_i

The final position of the heroin is below the ground level,

h_f = -16.1m

The initial height will be the zero point of our system of reference,

\Delta h = -16.1m-0m

\Delta h = -16.1m

Replacing all this values we have,

U = mg\Delta h

U = (68.1kg)(9.8m/s^2)(-16.1m)

U = -10744.81J

Since the final position of the heroine is located below the ground, there will net loss of gravitational potential energy of 10744.81J

An apparatus similar to the one used in lab uses an oscillating motor at one end to vibrate a long rope with frequency f = 40 Hz
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The displacement in t = 0,  

y (0) = - 0.18 m

Explanation:

Given f = 40 Hz , A = 0.25m , μ = 0.02 kg / m, T = 20.48 N

v = √ T / μ

v = √20.48 N / 0.02 kg /m = 32 m/s

λ = v / f

λ = 32 m/s / 40 Hz = 0.8

K = 2 π / λ

K = 2π / 0.8 = 7.854

φ = X * 360 / λ

φ = 0.5 * 360 / 0.8 = 225 °

Using the model of y' displacement

y (t) = A* sin ( w * t - φ )

When t = 0

y (0) = 0.25 m *sin ( w*(0) - 225 )

y (0) = 0.25 * -0.707

y (0) = - 0.18 m

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

1.) TABLE = The table is 2.74 m (9.0 ft) long, 1.525 m (5.0 ft) wide, and 76 cm (2.5 ft) high with any continuous material so long as the table yields a uniform bounce of about 23 cm (9.1 in) when a standard ball is dropped onto it from a height of 30 cm (11.8 in), or about 77%.

2.) TENNIS = Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a tennis racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over or around a net and into the opponent's court.

3.) PING-PONG = Table tennis, also known as ping-pong and whiff-whaff, is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight ball, also known as the ping-pong ball, back and forth across a table using small rackets. ... Spinning the ball alters its trajectory and limits an opponent's options, giving the hitter a great advantage.

4.) NET = This is stretched across the centter of the table by a cord attached to a post at either end. It measures 6ft long and the ball must pass over it for a rally to continue.

5.) BALL = The ball, which is spherical and hollow, was once made of white celluloid. Since 1969 a plastic similar to celluloid has been used. The ball, which may be coloured white, yellow, or orange, weighs about 0.09 ounce (2.7 grams) and has a diameter of about 1.6 inches (4 cm).

6.) RACKET = A table tennis racket is made up of two distinct parts - a wooden blade which incorporates the handle together with table tennis rubbers affixed to each side of the blade using water-based glue.
