Oceanographers use submerged sonar systems, towed by a cable from a ship, to map the ocean floor. In addition to their downward

weight, there are buoyant forces and forces from the flowing water that allow them to travel in a horizontal path. One such submersible has a cross section area of 1.3m2 , a drag coeffecient of 1.2, and when towed at 4.3 m/s, the tow cable makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. What is the tension in the cable? Take the water density to be 1000 kg / m3

Answer:

Tension in the cable is T = 16653.32 N

Explanation:

Give data:

Cross section Area A = 1.3 m^2

Drag coefficient CD = 1.2

Velocity V = 4.3 m/s

Angle made by cable with horizontal =30 degree

Density $\rho \ of\ water= 1000 kg/m3$

Drag force FD is given as

$F_{D} = \fracP{1}{2} \rho v^{2} C_{D} A$

$= 0.5\times 1000\times 4.32\times 1.2\times 1.3$

Drag force = 14422.2 N acting opposite to the motion

As cable made angle of 30 degree with horizontal thus horizontal component is take into action to calculate drag force

TCos30 = F_D

$T = \frac{F_D}{cos30}$

$T =\frac{ 14422.2}{cos 30}$

T = 16653.32 N

You are operating a pwc in an area where swimmers are in the water. When must you slow your pwc to "slow, no wake speed"?.

Lostsunrise [7]

You should slow your pwc to "slow, no wake speed" when within 100 feet of anchored vessels or non-motorized craft.

<h3>What is Slow-no-wake?</h3>

This is the process of operating a personal watercraft at the slowest possible speed.

This helps to maintain steerage which prevents different forms of accident or risks when in motion in the water.

What is the potential energy of a 2 kg ball 15 m in the air?

oee [108]

Answer:

<h2>300 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 2 × 10 × 15

We have the final answer as

<h3>300 J</h3>

At t=0 a grinding wheel has an angular velocity of 25.0 rad/s. It has a constant angular acceleration of 26.0 rad/s2 until a cir

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

a) The total angle of the grinding wheel is 569.88 radians, b) The grinding wheel stop at t = 12.354 seconds, c) The deceleration experimented by the grinding wheel was 8.780 radians per square second.

Explanation:

Since the grinding wheel accelerates and decelerates at constant rate, motion can be represented by the following kinematic equations:

$\theta = \theta_{o} + \omega_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \alpha \cdot t^{2}$

$\omega = \omega_{o} + \alpha \cdot t$

$\omega^{2} = \omega_{o}^{2} + 2 \cdot \alpha \cdot (\theta-\theta_{o})$

Where:

$\theta_{o}$ , $\theta$ - Initial and final angular position, measured in radians.

$\omega_{o}$ , $\omega$ - Initial and final angular speed, measured in radians per second.

$\alpha$ - Angular acceleration, measured in radians per square second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

Likewise, the grinding wheel experiments two different regimes:

1) The grinding wheel accelerates during 2.40 seconds.

2) The grinding wheel decelerates until rest is reached.

a) The change in angular position during the Acceleration Stage can be obtained of the following expression:

$\theta - \theta_{o} = \omega_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \alpha \cdot t^{2}$

If $\omega_{o} = 25\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $t = 2.40\,s$ and $\alpha = 26\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , then:

$\theta-\theta_{o} = \left(25\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)\cdot (2.40\,s) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(26\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (2.40\,s)^{2}$

$\theta-\theta_{o} = 134.88\,rad$

The final angular angular speed can be found by the equation:

$\omega = \omega_{o} + \alpha \cdot t$

If $\omega_{o} = 25\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $t = 2.40\,s$ and $\alpha = 26\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , then:

$\omega = 25\,\frac{rad}{s} + \left(26\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (2.40\,s)$

$\omega = 87.4\,\frac{rad}{s}$

The total angle that grinding wheel did from t = 0 s and the time it stopped is:

$\Delta \theta = 134.88\,rad + 435\,rad$

$\Delta \theta = 569.88\,rad$

The total angle of the grinding wheel is 569.88 radians.

b) Before finding the instant when the grinding wheel stops, it is needed to find the value of angular deceleration, which can be determined from the following kinematic expression:

$\omega^{2} = \omega_{o}^{2} + 2 \cdot \alpha \cdot (\theta-\theta_{o})$

The angular acceleration is now cleared:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega^{2}-\omega_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot (\theta-\theta_{o})}$

Given that $\omega_{o} = 87.4\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$ and $\theta-\theta_{o} = 435\,rad$ , the angular deceleration is:

$\alpha = \frac{ \left(0\,\frac{rad}{s}\right)^{2}-\left(87.4\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(435\,rad\right)}$

$\alpha = -8.780\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

Now, the time interval of the Deceleration Phase is obtained from this formula:

$\omega = \omega_{o} + \alpha \cdot t$

$t = \frac{\omega - \omega_{o}}{\alpha}$

If $\omega_{o} = 87.4\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$ and $\alpha = -8.780\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , the time interval is:

$t = \frac{0\,\frac{rad}{s} - 87.4\,\frac{rad}{s} }{-8.780\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} }$

$t = 9.954\,s$

The total time needed for the grinding wheel before stopping is:

$t_{T} = 2.40\,s + 9.954\,s$

$t_{T} = 12.354\,s$

The grinding wheel stop at t = 12.354 seconds.

c) The deceleration experimented by the grinding wheel was 8.780 radians per square second.
