A 74-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.56 m,

and ends with a speed of 8.5 m/s. How much nonconservative work (in kJ) was done on the boy?

Answer:

Work done, W = 1.44 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of boy, m = 74 kg

Initial speed of boy, u = 1.6 m/s

The boy then drops through a height of 1.56 m

Final speed of boy, v = 8.5 m/s

To find,

Non-conservative work was done on the boy.

Solution,

The work done by the non conservative forces is equal to the sum of total change in kinetic energy and total change in potential energy.

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)+(0-mgh)

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)-mgh

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 74\times (8.5^2-1.6^2)-74\times 9.8\times 1.56

W = 1447.21 Joules

or

W = 1.44 kJ

Therefore, the non conservative work done on the boy is 1.44 kJ.

What is the initial velocity of a go-kart traveling at a uniform acceleration of 0.5 m/s^2 for 5s as it slows down to a stop?
Arlecino [84]

The go-kart's velocity v after time t is given by

v=v_0+at

where v_0 is its initial velocity and a is its acceleration. After t=5\,\mathrm s, the go-kart stops completely, so

0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}=v_0+\left(-0.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(5\,\mathrm s)\implies v_0=2.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

where a because we know the go-kart is slowing down.

Potential energy calculation - MxGxH. Gravity equals 10. How much
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Ep = 0.6095 [J]

Explanation:

As defined in the problem statement, potential energy is defined as the product of mass by gravity by height. But first we must convert all the values given to measures of the international system (SI)

g = gravity = 10 [m/s^2]

h = elevation = 40 [ft] = 12.19 [m]

m = mass = 5 [g] = 0.005 [kg]

Ep = potential energy [J]

Ep = 0.005*10*12.19 = 0.6095 [J]
