A 9.08 m ladder with a mass of 23.8 kg lies flat on the ground. A painter grabs the top end of the ladder and pulls straight upw

ard with a force of 260 N. At the instant the top of the ladder leaves the ground, the ladder experiences an angular acceleration of 1.78 rad/s2 about an axis passing through the bottom end of the ladder. The ladder's center of gravity lies halfway between the top and bottom ends. (a) What is the net torque acting on the ladder? (b) What is the ladder's moment of inertia?

Answer:

1300.80988 Nm

730.79206 kgm²

Explanation:

m = Mass of ladder = 23.8 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

L = Length of ladder = 9.08 m

F = Applied force = 260 N

$\alpha$ = Angular acceleration = 1.78 rad/s²

I = Moment of inertia

Weight is given by

$W=mg\\\Rightarrow W=23.8\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow W=233.478\ N$

The center of gravity of the ladder lies at the center of the ladder

Torque will be

$\tau=-W\times \frac{L}{2}+F\times L\\\Rightarrow \tau=-233.478\times \frac{9.08}{2}+260\times 9.08\\\Rightarrow \tau=1300.80988\ Nm$

The net torque acting on the ladder is 1300.80988 Nm

Torque is also given by

$\tau=I\alpha\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{\tau}{\alpha}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{1300.80988}{1.78}\\\Rightarrow I=730.79206\ kgm^2$

The moment of inertia of the ladder is 730.79206 kgm²

An engine draws energy from a hot reservoir with a temperature of 1250 K and exhausts energy into a cold reservoir with a temper

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The power output of this engine is $P = 17.5 W$

The the maximum (Carnot) efficiency is $\eta_c = 0.7424$

The actual efficiency of this engine is $\eta _a = 0.46$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The temperature of the hot reservoir is $T_h = 1250 \ K$

The temperature of the cold reservoir is $T_c = 322 \ K$

The energy absorbed from the hot reservoir is $E_h = 1.37 *10^{5} \ J$

The energy exhausts into cold reservoir is $E_c = 7.4 *10^{4} J$

The power output is mathematically represented as

$P = \frac{W}{t}$

Where t is the time taken which we will assume to be 1 hour = 3600 s

W is the workdone which is mathematically represented as

$W = E_h -E_c$

substituting values

$W = 63000 J$

So

$P = \frac{63000}{3600}$

$P = 17.5 W$

The Carnot efficiency is mathematically represented as

$\eta_c = 1 - \frac{T_c}{T_h}$

$\eta_c = 1 - \frac{322}{1250}$

$\eta_c = 0.7424$

The actual efficiency is mathematically represented as

$\eta _a = \frac{W}{E_h}$

substituting values

$\eta _a = \frac{63000}{1.37*10^{5}}$

$\eta _a = 0.46$

What is the force on a 250 kg elevator that is falling freely at 9.8 m/sec2?

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Since it is falling freely, the only force on it is its weight, w.

w = m × g = 250 kg × 9.8 m/s^2 = 2450 Newton/N

A child throws a ball with an initial speed of 8.00 m/s at an angle of 40.0° above the horizontal. The ball leaves her hand 1.00

vivado [14]

Answer:

7.5 m

Explanation:

$v$ = initial speed of the ball = 8 m/s

$\theta$ = angle of launch = 40° deg

Consider the motion along the vertical direction :

$v_{oy}$ = initial velocity along vertical direction = $v Sin\theta$ = 8 Sin40 = 5.14 m/s

$a_{y}$ = acceleration along vertical direction = - 9.8 m/s²

$t$ = time of travel

$y$ = vertical displacement = - 1 m

Using the kinematics equation

$y = v_{oy}t + (0.5)a_{y}t^{2}$

$- 1 = (5.14)t + (0.5)(- 9.8)t^{2$

$t$ = 1.22 sec

Consider the motion along the horizontal direction :

$v_{ox}$ = initial velocity along horizontal direction = $v Sin\theta$ = 8 Cos40 = 6.13 m/s

$a_{x}$ = acceleration along vertical direction = 0 m/s²

$t$ = time of travel = 1.22 sec

$x$ = horizontal displacement = ?

Using the kinematics equation

$x = v_{ox}t + (0.5)a_{x}t^{2}$

$x = (6.13)(1.22) + (0.5)(0)(1.22)^{2$

$x$ = 7.5 m

Sayid made a chart listing data of two colliding objects. A 5-column table titled Collision: Two Objects Stick Together with 2 r

Alborosie

Answer:

6 m/s is the missing final velocity

Explanation:

From the data table we extract that there were two objects (X and Y) that underwent an inelastic collision, moving together after the collision as a new object with mass equal the addition of the two original masses, and a new velocity which is the unknown in the problem).

Object X had a mass of 300 kg, while object Y had a mass of 100 kg.

Object's X initial velocity was positive (let's imagine it on a horizontal axis pointing to the right) of 10 m/s. Object Y had a negative velocity (imagine it as pointing to the left on the horizontal axis) of -6 m/s.

We can solve for the unknown, using conservation of momentum in the collision: Initial total momentum = Final total momentum (where momentum is defined as the product of the mass of the object times its velocity.

In numbers, and calling $P_{xi}$ the initial momentum of object X and $P_{yi}$ the initial momentum of object Y, we can derive the total initial momentum of the system: $P_{total}_i=P_{xi}+P_{yi}= 300*10 \frac{kg*m}{s} -100*6\frac{kg*m}{s} =\\=(3000-600 )\frac{kg*m}{s} =2400 \frac{kg*m}{s}$

Since in the collision there is conservation of the total momentum, this initial quantity should equal the quantity for the final mometum of the stack together system (that has a total mass of 400 kg):

Final momentum of the system: $M * v_f=400kg * v_f$

We then set the equality of the momenta (total initial equals final) and proceed to solve the equation for the unknown(final velocity of the system):

$2400 \frac{kg*m}{s} =400kg*v_f\\\frac{2400}{400} \frac{m}{s} =v_f\\v_f=6 \frac{m}{s}$
