This problem is getting you used to the definition of 'work' = (force) x (distance).

It's hard to really imagine, but technically, when an object moves horizontally,
no work is done, because there's no lifting against the force of gravity.

Another way to look at it:  The potential energy of the object never changes,
because its height never changes, so no energy ever goes into it ot gets
taken out of it.

Also, if the object moves at a constant speed, then it never accelerated,
and that means that no force ever acted on it.

So technically, when an object moves horizontally at a constant speed,
the work done on it is zero.

Find the torque required for the shaft to transmit 40 kW when (a) The shaft speed is 2500 rev/min. (b) The shaft speed is 250 re
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

(a) 152.85 Nm

(b) 1528.5 Nm

Explanation:

According to the formula of power

P = τ ω

ω = 2 π f

(a) f = 2500 rpm = 2500 / 60 = 41.67 rps

So, 40 x 1000 = τ x 2 x 3.14 x 41.67

τ = 152.85 Nm

(b) f = 250 rpm = 250 / 60 = 4.167 rps

So, 40 x 1000 = τ x 2 x 3.14 x 4.167

τ = 1528.5 Nm

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

64.945 miles per hour

Explanation:

Since the frequency of sound heard is higher than actual frequency, the ambulance is moving towards you!

The frequency of sound waves as heard from a distance for a sound wave coming towards one at v₀ m/s and whose real frequency is f₀ is given by

+f = f₀/[1 - (v₀/v)]

+f = frequency of sound as heard from the distance away = 8.61 KHz

f₀ = real frequency of sound = 7.87 KHz

v₀ = velocity at which the sound source is moving towards the reference point = ?

v = velocity of sound waves = 343 m/s

8.61 = 7.87/(1 - (v₀/v))

1 - (v₀/343) = 0.9141

v₀/343 = 1 - 0.9141 = 0.0859

v₀ = 343 × 0.0859 = 29.48 m/s = 64.945 miles per hour

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

51.96 m/s^-1

Explanation:

a) see the attachment

b) As we know the velocity of the projectile has two component, horizontal velocity v_ox. and vertical velocity v_oy as shown in the figure. At the highest point of the trajectory, the projectile has only horizontal velocity and vertical velocity is zero. Therefore at the highest point of the trajectory, the velocity of the projectile will be  

v_ox=v_o*cosФ

       =60*cos (30)

      = 51.96 m/s^-1
