Answer:
a)
, b) 
Explanation:
The magnitude of torque is a form of moment, that is, a product of force and lever arm (distance), and force is the product of mass and acceleration for rotating systems with constant mass. That is:



Where
is the angular acceleration, which is constant as torque is constant. Angular deceleration experimented by the unpowered flywheel is:


Now, angular velocities of the unpowered flywheel at 50 seconds and 100 seconds are, respectively:
a) t = 50 s.


b) t = 100 s.
Given that friction is of reactive nature. Frictional torque works on the unpowered flywheel until angular velocity is reduced to zero, whose instant is:


Since
, then the angular velocity is equal to zero. Therefore:

Answer:
The well is 7.1 meters deep.
Explanation:
The formula to use here is the distance in a uniformly accelerated motion:

where d stands for distance, t for time, a for acceleration, v0 and d0 for initial velocity and distance, respectively. Since the initial distance and velocity are both zero, we are left with the first term. The coin is in free fall and so it is accelerated by gravity:

The well is 7.1 meters deep.
Answer:
a)1815Joules b) 185Joules
Explanation:
Hooke's law states that the extension of a material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically;
F = ke where;
F is the applied force
k is the elastic constant
e is the extension of the material
From the formula, k = F/e
F1/e1 = F2/e2
If a force of 60N causes an extension of 0.5m of the string from its equilibrium position, the elastic constant of the spring will be ;
k = 60/0.5
k = 120N/m
a) To get the work done in stretching the spring 5.5m from its position,
Work done by the spring = 1/2ke²
Given k = 120N/m, e = 5.5m
Work done = 1/2×120×5.5²
Work done = 60× 5.5²
Work done = 1815Joules
b) work done in compressing the spring 1.5m from its equilibrium position will be gotten using the same formula;
Work done = 1/2ke²
Work done =1/2× 120×1.5²
Works done = 60×1.5²
Work done = 135Joules
