Define work and power

1 answer:

7 0

WORK = W=Fd. Because energy is the capacity to do work , we measure energy and work in the same units (N*m or joules). POWER (P) is the rate of energy generation (or absorption) over time:P = E/t. Power's SI unit of measurement is the Watt, representing the generation or absorption of energy at the rate of 1 Joule/sec.

The dragster has a mass of 1.3 Mg and a center of mass at G. A parachute is attached at C provides a horizontal braking force of

adell [148]

Answer:

The deceleration of the dragster upon releasing the parachute such that the wheels at B are on the verge of leaving the ground is 16.33 m/s²

Explanation:

The additional information to the question is embedded in the diagram attached below:

The height between the dragster and ground is considered to be 0.35 m since is not given ; thus in addition win 0.75 m between the dragster and the parachute; we have: (0.75 + 0.35) m = 1.1 m

Balancing the equilibrium about point A;

F(1.1) - mg (1.25) = $ma_a (0.35)$

$1.8v^2(1.1)$ - 1200(9.8)(1.25) = 1200a(0.35)

$1.8v^2(1.1)$ - 14700 = 420 a ------- equation (1)

$F_x = ma_x \\ \\ = 1.8v^2 = 1200 \ a$ --------- equation (2)

Replacing equation 2 into equation 1 ; we have :

${1.1 * 1200 \ a} - 14700 = 420 a$

1320 a - 14700 = 420 a

1320 a - 420 a =14700

900 a = 14700

a = 14700/900

a = 16.33 m/s²

The deceleration of the dragster upon releasing the parachute such that the wheels at B are on the verge of leaving the ground is 16.33 m/s²

A slender rod is 90.0 cm long and has mass 0.120 kg. A small 0.0200 kg sphere is welded to one end of the rod, and a small 0.070

likoan [24]

Given Information:

length of slender rod = L = 90 cm = 0.90 m

mass of slender rod = m = 0.120 kg

mass of sphere welded to one end = m₁ = 0.0200 kg

mass of sphere welded to another end = m₂ = 0.0700 kg (typing error in the question it must be 0.0500 kg as given at the end of the question)

Required Information:

Linear speed of the 0.0500 kg sphere = v = ?

Answer:

Linear speed of the 0.0500 kg sphere = 1.55 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of the sphere can by calculated using

ΔKE = ½Iω²

Where I is the moment of inertia of the whole setup ω is the speed and ΔKE is the change in kinetic energy

The moment of inertia of a rigid rod about center is given by

I = (1/12)mL²

The moment of inertia due to m₁ and m₂ is

I = (m₁+m₂)(L/2)²

L/2 means that the spheres are welded at both ends of slender rod whose length is L.

The overall moment of inertia becomes

I = (1/12)mL² + (m₁+m₂)(L/2)²

I = (1/12)0.120*(0.90)² + (0.0200+0.0500)(0.90/2)²

I = 0.0081 + 0.01417

I = 0.02227 kg.m²

The change in the potential energy is given by

ΔPE = m₁gh₁ + m₂gh₂

Where h₁ and h₂ are half of the length of slender rod

L/2 = 0.90/2 = 0.45 m

ΔPE = 0.0200*9.8*0.45 + 0.0500*9.8*-0.45

The negative sign is due to the fact that that m₂ is heavy and it would fall and the other sphere m₁ is lighter and it would will rise.

ΔPE = -0.1323 J

This potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy therefore,

ΔKE = ½Iω²

0.1323 = ½(0.02227)ω²

ω² = (2*0.1323)/0.02227

ω = √(2*0.1323)/0.02227

ω = 3.45 rad/s

The linear speed is

v = (L/2)ω

v = (0.90/2)*3.45

v = 1.55 m/s

Therefore, the linear speed of the 0.0500 kg sphere as its passes through its lowest point is 1.55 m/s.
