Answer:

a)

maximum speed of jumper is 22.14m/s

b)

Maximum stretch that will occur,x=94.3 m

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

In this question we have given

mass of bungee jumper,m=60kg

length of cord,h=25m

elastic coefficient, k=800N/m

We have to find the maximum speed of the jumper

here law of conservation will be applied it means the potential energy lost by bungee jumper when he reaches at a specific depth is equal to the sum of strain energy which is produced due to stretching of bungee cord and kinetic energy gained.

It means

U=KE+SE....................(a)

Here potential energy of bungee jumper,U=mgh..................(1)

Put values of m,g and h in equation 1

we got,

U=60kg\times 9.8ms^{-2}\times25m

U=14700 J...........(2)

kinetic energy is given as

KE=\frac{mv^2}{2}..............(3)

put value of m in equation 3

KE=\frac{60v^2}{2}

KE=30v^2.............(4)

Strain energy is given as

SE=0 (when bungee cord is unscratched)

put values of KE and U in equation a we got

30v^2=14700\\v=22.14 ms^{-1}

maximum speed of jumper is 22.14m/s

b)

maximum amount of stretch be x

than SE=k(x-25)

put valuse of U,KE and SE in equation a

60\times 9.8\times (x+25)=\frac{30\times 22.14^2}{2}+800(x-25)\\588x+14700=14700+800x-20000\\212x=20000\\\\x=94.3 m

Maximum stretch that will occur,x=94.3 m

Answer:

a ) 2.68 m / s

b )  1.47 m

Explanation:

The jumper will go down with acceleration as long as net force on it becomes zero . Net force of (mg - kx ) will act on it  where kx is the restoring force acting in upward direction.

At the time of equilibrium

mg - kx = 0

x = mg / k

= (60 x 9.8 ) / 800

= 0.735 m

At this moment , let its velocity be equal to V

Applying conservation of energy

kinetic energy of jumper + elastic energy of cord = loss of potential energy of the jumper

1/2 m V² + 1/2 k x² = mg x

.5 x 60 x V² + .5 x 800 x .735 x .735 = 60 x 9.8 x .735

30 V² + 216.09 = 432.18

V = 2.68 m / s

b ) At lowest point , kinetic energy is zero and loss of potential energy will be equal to stored elastic energy.

1/2 k x² = mgx

x = 2 m g / k

= (2 x 60 x 9.8) / 800

= 1.47 m

At a given instant an object has an angular velocity. It also has an angular acceleration due to torques that are present. There
katen-ka-za [31]

a) Constant

b) Constant

Explanation:

a)

We can answer this question by using the equivalent of Newton's second law of motion of rotational motion, which can be written as:

\tau_{net} = I \alpha (1)

where

\tau_{net} is the net torque acting on the object in rotation

I is the moment of inertia of the object

\alpha is the angular acceleration

The angular acceleration is the rate of change of the angular velocity, so it can be written as

\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta \omega is the change in angular velocity

\Delta t is the time interval

So we can rewrite eq.(1) as

\tau_{net}=I\frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}

In this problem, we are told that at a given instant, the object has an angular acceleration due to the presence of torques, so there is a non-zero change in angular velocity.

Then, additional torques are applied, so that the net torque suddenly equal to zero, so:

\tau_{net}=0

From the previous equation, this implies that

\Delta \omega =0

Which means that the angular velocity at that instant does not change anymore.

b)

In this second case instead, all the torques are suddenly removed.

This also means that the net torque becomes zero as well:

\tau_{net}=0

Therefore, this means that

\Delta \omega =0

So also in this case, there is no change in angular velocity: this means that the angular velocity of the object will remain constant.

So cases (a) and (b) are basically the same situation, as the net torque is zero in both cases, so the object acts in the same way.

State the law of conservation of energy​
storchak [24]

Answer:

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. ... For instance, chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy when a stick of dynamite explodes.

As an intern with an engineering firm, you are asked to measure the moment of inertia of a large wheel, for rotation about an ax
AysviL [449]

Answer:

I=2.766\ kg.m^2

Explanation:

We have:

diameter of the wheel, d=0.88\ m

weight of the wheel, w_w=280\ N

mass of hanging object to the wheel, m_o=6.32\ kg

speed of the hanging mass after the descend, v_o=4\ m.s^{-1}

height of descend, h=2.5\ m

(a)

moment of inertia of wheel about its central axis:

I=\frac{1}{2} m.r^2

I=\frac{1}{2} \frac{w_w}{g}.r^2

I=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{280}{9.8}\times 0.44^2

I=2.766\ kg.m^2

A delivery truck travels with a constant velocity up an 8 slope. A 60 kg box sits on the floor of the truck and, because of sta
Blababa [14]

Explanation:

Given that,

The slope of the ramp, \theta=8^{\circ}

Mass of the box, m = 60 kg

(a) Distance covered by the truck up the slope, d = 300 m

Initially the truck moves with a constant velocity. We know that the net work done on the box is equal to 0 as per work energy theorem as :

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

u and v are the initial and the final velocity of the truck

(b) The work done on the box by the force of gravity is given by :

W=Fd\ cos\theta

Here, \theta=90+8=98^{\circ}

W=mgd\ cos\theta

W=60\times 9.8\times 300\ cos(98)

W = -24550.13 J

(c) What is the work done on the box by the normal force is equal to 0 as the angle between the force and the displacement is 90 degrees.

(d) The work done by friction is given by :

W_f=-W

W_f=24550.13\ J

Hence, this is the required solution.
