The decrease in gravitational potential energy of the system is given by

where
m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration, and
is the variation of height of the system.
also corresponds to the weight of the diver, therefore if we rearrange the equation and we use
and
, we can find her weight:

Answer:
Explanation:
kinetic energy = 14.1 MJ = 14.1 x 10⁶ J
Let radius of flywheel be r .
volume of flywheel = π r² x t where t is thickness
= 3.14 x r² x .113 m³
= .04 r² m³
mass = volume x density
= .04 r² x 7800 = 312.73 r²kg
moment of inertia I = 1 / 2 mass x radius²
= .5 x 312.73 r² x r²
= 156.37 r⁴ kg m²
angular velocity ω = 2π x 93/60
= 9.734 rad /s
kinetic energy = 1/2 Iω² where ω is angular velocity
= .5 x 156.37 r⁴ x 9.734²
= 7408.08 r⁴
Given
7408.08 r⁴ = 14.1 x 10⁶
r⁴ = .19 x 10⁴
r = .66 x 10
= 6.60 m .
Diameter = 13.2 m
b )
centripetal acceleration of a point on its rim = ω² r
= 9.734² x 6.6
= 625.35 m /s²
Answer:
The period of a pendulum does not depend on the mass of the ball, but only on the length of the string. Two pendula with different masses but the same length will have the same period. Two pendula with different lengths will different periods; the pendulum with the longer string will have the longer period.
Explanation:
Average speed of the driver is given as

if he moved for total time t = 3.5 hours
so the distance between the tow is given as



so the distance between St. Louis and Chicago is 224 miles
