Answer:

A. 43.84 ft/s.

B. 45 ft.

Explanation:

A.

Given:

Weight, W = 100 lbf

mass, M = 100/32.174

= 3.108 lb

kinetic energy, ΔKE = -500 ft.lbf

Potential energy ΔPE= 1500 ft.lbf

initial velocity, u  = 40 ft/s

initial height, h1 = 30 ft/s

acceleration, g = 32.174 ft/s^2

ΔKE = 1/2 * M * (v^2 - u^2)

-500 = 1/2 * 3.108 * (v^2 - 40^2)

v = 43.84 ft/s.

B.

ΔPE = M * g * (h2 - h1)

1500 = 3.108 * 32.174 * (h2 - 30)

h2 = 45 ft.

Answer:

a) 35.75 ft/s

b) 45 ft

Explanation:

<u>Given  </u>

Weight W = 100 lbf

mass(m) = 100*32.174/32.2=99.92 lb

decrease in kinetic energy ΔKE = -500 ft.lbf

increase in kinetic energy ΔPE= 1500 ft.lbf

initial velocity V_1  = 40 ft/s

initial height h_1 = 30 ft/s

The gravitational acceleration g = 32.2 ft/s2 Required  

(a) Final velocity V_2 (a) Final elevation h_2  

<u>Solution </u>

Change in kinetic energy is defined by

ΔKE = .5*m *( V_2 ^2-V_1^2)

Change in potential energy is defined by

ΔKE = W *( h_2 -h_1 )

Then,

-500=.5*99.92*1/32.174*(V_2 ^2-40^2)

V_2=35.75 ft/s

1500 = 100 x (h_2  — 30)  

h_2= 45 ft

At what distance of separation, r, must two 3.20 x 10-9 Coulomb charges be positioned in order for the repulsive force between t
STatiana [176]
I'm not 100% sure but I think the answer is 60.4, because you multiply 3.20 by 10, to get 32 - 9 = 23, then subtract 23 from 83.4. Hope this helps you, and good luck!!!

We can model a pine tree in the forest as having a compact canopy at the top of a relatively bare trunk. Wind blowing on the top
notka56 [123]

Answer:

A,)FD= 114.1N

B)Torque=798.5Nm

Explanation:

We can model a pine tree in the forest as having a compact canopy at the top of a relatively bare trunk. Wind blowing on the top of the tree exerts a horizontal force, and thus a torque that can topple the tree if there is no opposing torque. Suppose a tree's canopy presents an area of 9.0 m^2 to the wind centered at a height of 7.0 m above the ground. (These are reasonable values for forest trees.)

If the wind blows at 6.5 m/s, what is the magnitude of the drag force of the wind on the canopy? Assume a drag coefficient of 0.50 and the density of air of 1.2 kg/m^3

B)What torque does this force exert on the tree, measured about the point where the trunk meets the ground?

A)The equation of Drag force equation can be expressed below,

FD =[ CD × A × ρ × (v^2/ 2)]

Where CD= Drag coefficient for cone-shape = 0.5

ρ = Density

Area of of the tree canopy = 9.0 m^2

density of air of = 1.2 kg/m^3

V= wind velocity= 6.5 m/s,

If we substitute those values to the equation, we have;

FD =[ CD × A × ρ × (v^2/ 2)]

F= [ 0.5 × 9.0 m^2 × 1.2 kg/m^3 ( 6.5 m/s/ 2)]

FD= 114.1N

B) the torque can be calculated using below formula below

Torque= (Force × distance)

= 114.1 × 7

= 798.5Nm

An ore car of mass 39000 kg starts from rest and rolls downhill on tracks from a mine. At the end of the tracks, 25 m lower vert
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

x = 5.79 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the car = 39000 Kg

spring constant = 5.7 x 10⁵ N/m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

height of the track = 25 m

length of spring compressed = ?

using conservation of energy

potential energy is converted into spring energy

m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

x =\sqrt{\dfrac{2 m g h}{k}}

x =\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 39000 \times 9.8 \times 25}{5.7 \times 10^{5}}}

x =\sqrt{33.5263}

x = 5.79 m

the spring is compressed to x = 5.79 m to stop the car.
