Which scientific term is defined as the rate at which work is accomplished?

Oliga [24]

Power is the scientific term defined as the rate at which work is accomplished. Power can be seen everywhere as it is applied to our everyday living. Power is seen when one pushes a heavy cart. It could be seen when a baseball hitter hits the ball.

What is the magnitude of the velocity when the elastic potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy? (Assume that U=0 at equi

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

General Equation of SHM is given by

$x=A\cos \omega t$

$v=-A\omega \sin \omega t$

where x=position of particle

A=maximum Amplitude

$\omega =$ angular frequency

t=time

At any time Total Energy is the sum of kinetic Energy and Elastic potential Energy i.e. $\frac{1}{2}kA^2$

where k=spring constant

Potential Energy is given by $U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

also it is given that Potential Energy(U) is equal to Kinetic Energy(K)

Total Energy $=K+U$

Total $=2U=2\times \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

$\frac{1}{2}kA^2=2\times \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

$x=\pm \frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}$

at $x=\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}$

velocity is $v=\frac{A\omega}{\sqrt{2}}$

A swift blow with the hand can break a pine board. As the hand hits the board, the kinetic energy of the hand is transformed int

Stells [14]

Answer:

A. The hand must move with a velocity of 6.98 m/s to break the board.

B. Average force on the hand = 1025 N

Explanation:

A.To determine the speed the hand must move with to break the board, the force workdone in breaking the board is found first.

Workdone = force × distance

Minimum force required = 870 N;

Distance moved by board/Deflection in order to break = 1.4 cm = 0.014 M

Workd done = 870 N × 0.014 m = 12.18 Nm or 12.18 J

This work done = Kinetic energy of the hand

Kinetic energy = mv²/2 ; where m is mass and v is velocity

Mass of hand = 0.50 Kg, velocity = ?, K.E. = 12.18 J

v² = 2 KE/m

v = √2KE/m

v = √(2 × 12.18/0.50)

v = 6.98 m/s

Therefore, the hand must move with a velocity of 6.98 m/s to break the board.

B. Average force on the hand

This can be determined using the equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as to find acceleration, since force = mass × acceleration

From the equation of motion, a = v² - u²/2s

At rest, v = 0, u = 6.98, s = 1.2 cm = 0.012 m

a = 0² - 6.98²/ 2 × 0.012

a = -2030 m/s²

Force = 2030 m/s² × 0. 50 kg = 1015 N

Therefore, Average force on the hand = 1025 N
