Some gliders are launched from the ground by means of a winch, which rapidly reels in a towing cable attached to the glider. Wha

t average power must the winch supply in order to accelerate a 156-kg ultralight glider from rest to 24.9 m/s over a horizontal distance of 58.0 m? Assume that friction and air resistance are negligible, and that the tension in the winch cable is constant.

Answer:

P=627.47W

Explanation:

To solve this problem we have to take into account, that the work done by the winch is

$W=Fh$

the force, at least must equal the gravitational force

$F=Mg=(156kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})=1258.8N$

with force the tension in the cable makes the winch go up.

The work done is

$W=(1258.8N)(58.0m)=73010.4J$

To calculate the power we need to know what is the time t. But first we have to compute the acceleration

The acceleration will be

$v_f^2=v_0+2ah\\a=\frac{v_f^2}{2h}=\frac{(24.9\frac{m}{s})}{2(58.0m)}=0.214\frac{m}{s^2}$

and the time t

$v_f=v_0+at\\t=\frac{v_f}{a}=116.35s$

The power will be

$P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{73010.4J}{116.35s}=627.47W$

HOPE THIS HELPS!!

The distance you free-fall from rest is D = (1/2) (g) (T²) <== memorize this

Height of the platform = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (2.4 sec)²

Height = (4.9 m/s²) (5.76 s²)

Height = (4.9/5.76) meters

Height = 28.2 meters (a VERY high platform ... about 93 ft off the water !)

Without air-resistance, your horizontal speed doesn't change. It's constant. Traveling 3.1 m/s for 2.4 sec, you cover (3.1 m/s x 2/4 s) = 7.4 m horizontally.

Which of the following expressions will have units of kg⋅m/s2? Select all that apply, where x is position, v is velocity, m is m

netineya [11]

Answer: $m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}$

Explanation:

In the image attached with this answer are shown the given options from which only one is correct.

The correct expression is:

$m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}$

Because, if we derive velocity $v_{t}$ with respect to time $t$ we will have acceleration $a$ , hence:

$m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}=m.a$

Where $m$ is the mass with units of kilograms ( $kg$ ) and $a$ with units of meter per square seconds $\frac{m}{s}^{2}$ , having as a result $kg\frac{m}{s}^{2}$

The other expressions are incorrect, let’s prove it:

$\frac{m}{2} \frac{d}{dx}{(v_{(x)})}^{2}=\frac{m}{2} 2v_{(x)}^{2-1}=mv_{(x)}$ This result has units of $kg\frac{m}{s}$

$m\frac{d}{dt}a_{(t)}=ma_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$m\int x_{(t)} dt= m \frac{{(x_{(t)})}^{1+1}}{1+1}+C=m\frac{{(x_{(t)})}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kgm^{2}$ and $C$ is a constant

$m\frac{d}{dt}x_{(t)}=mx_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$m\frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}=mv_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$\frac{m}{2}\int {(v_{(t)})}^{2} dt= \frac{m}{2} \frac{{(v_{(t)})}^{2+1}}{2+1}+C=\frac{m}{6} {(v_{(t)})}^{3}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{3}}{s^{3}}$ and $C$ is a constant

$m\int a_{(t)} dt= \frac{m {a_{(t)}}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{2}}{s^{4}}$ and $C$ is a constant

$\frac{m}{2} \frac{d}{dt}{(v_{(x)})}^{2}=0$ because $v_{(x)}$ is a constant in this derivation respect to $t$

$m\int v_{(t)} dt= \frac{m {v_{(t)}}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{2}}{s^{2}}$ and $C$ is a constant
