If you simply drop it ... so that it's not moving until you let it go ... then
the kinetic energy it has when it hits the ground is exactly the potential
energy it had while you were holding it.

5 J potential energy in your hand  ===>  5 J kinetic energy when it lands

The weight of an object is measured in air to be 7.0 N. The
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Buoyant force = 3.0 N

The object will not float.

Explanation:

Apparent weight of a body immersed in water is the actual weight of object minus buoyant force

Given in the question that;

Weight of object in air = 7.0 N

Apparent weight of object = 4.0 N

4.0 N = 7.0 N - Buoyant force

Buoyant force = 7.0 - 4.0 = 3.0 N

In this case, the buoyant force is less than weight of the object thus the object will sink.

A bicycle tire is spinning counterclockwise at 2.70 rad/s. During a time period At 1.90 s, the tire is stopped and spun in the o
Naddik [55]

Answer:

a) -5.40 rad/s

b) -2.842 rad/s²

Explanation:

The direction is important in dealing with such questions. Clockwise is considered negative and counterclockwise is considered positive

a) Δω = final angular velocity - initial angular velocity

          = -2.70 rad/s - 2.70 rad/s

          = -5.40 rad/s

b) ∝ = Δω/Δt = (-5.40 rad/s)/1.90s = -2.842 rad/s²

The design speed of a multilane highway is 60 mi/hr. What is the minimum stopping sight distance that should be provided on the
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Part a: When the road is level, the minimum stopping sight distance is 563.36 ft.

Part b: When the road has a maximum grade of 4%, the minimum stopping sight distance is 528.19 ft.

Explanation:

Part a

When Road is Level

The stopping sight distance is given as

SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}

Here

  • SSD is the stopping sight distance which is to be calculated.
  • u is the speed which is given as 60 mi/hr
  • t is the perception-reaction time given as 2.5 sec.
  • a/g is the ratio of deceleration of the body w.r.t gravitational acceleration, it is estimated as 0.35.
  • G is the grade of the road, which is this case is 0 as the road is level

Substituting values

                              SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}\\SSD=1.47 \times 60 \times 2.5 +\frac{60^2}{30 \times (0.35-0)}\\SSD=220.5 +342.86 ft\\SSD=563.36 ft

So the minimum stopping sight distance is 563.36 ft.

Part b

When Road has a maximum grade of 4%

The stopping sight distance is given as

SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}

Here

  • SSD is the stopping sight distance which is to be calculated.
  • u is the speed which is given as 60 mi/hr
  • t is the perception-reaction time given as 2.5 sec.
  • a/g is the ratio of deceleration of the body w.r.t gravitational acceleration, it is estimated as 0.35.
  • G is the grade of the road, which is given as 4% now this can be either downgrade or upgrade

For upgrade of 4%, Substituting values

                              SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}\\SSD=1.47 \times 60 \times 2.5 +\frac{60^2}{30 \times (0.35+0.04)}\\SSD=220.5 +307.69 ft\\SSD=528.19 ft

<em>So the minimum stopping sight distance for a road with 4% upgrade is 528.19 ft.</em>

For downgrade of 4%, Substituting values

                              SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}\\SSD=1.47 \times 60 \times 2.5 +\frac{60^2}{30 \times (0.35-0.04)}\\SSD=220.5 +387.09 ft\\SSD=607.59ft

<em>So the minimum stopping sight distance for a road with 4% downgrade is 607.59 ft.</em>

As the minimum distance is required for the 4% grade road, so the solution is 528.19 ft.

How rolling friction is less than sliding friction?
vovangra [49]

Rolling friction is considerably less than sliding friction as there is no work done against the body that is rolling by the force of friction. For a body to start rolling a small amount of friction is required at the point where it rests on the other surface, else it would slide instead of roll.
