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!!

During the course of a demonstration the professor is called away. When he returns he finds a beaker of water that was at room t

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Either heat added or mechanical work done.

Explanation:

Since he found stirring rod on the desk and a cigarette lighter. This means that the beaker was probably either heated with the aid of fire from the lighter.

Also, the stirring rod could have been used to stir the water which will increase the kinetic energy which also means an increase in temperature.

Thus, it's either heat was added or mechanical work was done as a result of stirring.

Can you please solve this for me urgently want to make sure if my answers are correct?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

<u>Resolving</u><u> </u><u>horizontally</u><u>.</u> :

$\sum d_{x} = - (17.0 \cos 20.0) - (11.0 \cos 35.0) + (30.0 \cos 50.0) + 0 \\ { \underline{d _{x} = - 5.702 \: m}} \\ \\ \sum d _{y} = (17.0 \sin 20.0) + 12.0 - (11.0 \sin 35.0) - (30.0 \sin 50.0) \\ { \underline{d _{y} = - 11.476 \: m}}$

therefore, for resultant:

$d = \sqrt{ {d _{y} }^{2} + d _{x} {}^{2} }$

substitute:

$d = \sqrt{ {( - 5.702)}^{2} + {( - 11.476)}^{2} } \\ \\ d = \sqrt{164.211} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf{d = 12.8 \: m}}}}$

The purpose of this lab is to explore the various ways to calculate projectile velocity using horizontal, vertical and angle inf

kolezko [41]

Answer: A projectile is any object in which the only force is gravity

Explanation: Equations on how to calculate projectile velocity is stated below:

The initial velocity Vo being a vector quantity, has two componentsVox and Voy

V0x = V0 cos(θ)

V0y = V0 sin(θ)

The acceleration A is a also a vector with two components Axand Ay given

Ax = 0 and Ay = - g = - 9.8 m/s2

Along the x axis the acceleration is equal to 0 and therefore the velocity Vx is constant

Vx = Vocos(θ)

Along the y axis, the acceleration is uniform and equal to - g and the velocity at time t is g

Vy = Vo sin(θ) - g t

Along the x axis the velocity Vx is constant and therefore the component x of the displacement is

x = Vocos(θ) t

Along the y axis, the motion is of uniform acceleration and the y component of the displacement is

y = Vo sin(θ) t - (1/2) g t2
