After watching a news story about a fire in a high rise apartment building, you and friend decide to design an emergency escape

device from the top of a building. To avoid engine failure, your friend suggest a gravitational powered elevator. The design has a large, heavy turntable (a horizontal disk that is free to rotate about its center) on teh roof with a cable wound around its edge. The free end of the cable goes horizontally to the edge of the building roof, pases over a heavy vertical pulley, and then hangs straight down. A strong wire cage which can hold 5 people is then attached to the hanging end of the cable. When people enter the cage adn release it, the cable unrolls from the turntable lowering the people as safely to the ground. to see if the design is feasible you decide to calculate the acceleration of the fully loaded elevator to make sure it is much less than g. Your friend design has the radius of the turntable disk as 1.5 m and its mass as 2x that of the fully loaded elevator. The disk which serves as the vertical pulley has 1/4 the radius of the turntable and 1/16 its mass. In your physics book you find that the moment of inertia if a disk is 1/2 that of a ring.

If the angular velocity of the pully is -8.4rad/s at a given time, and its anglar acceleration is -2.8rad/s2, what is the angula
snow_lady [41]

Here we know that

\omega_i = - 8.4 rad/s

\alpha = - 2.8 rad/s^2

t = 1.5 s

now from kinematics we have

\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t

now from above all values we have

\omega_f = (-8.4 rad/s) + (-2.8 rad/s^2)(1.5)

\omega_f = -8.4 + (-4.2)

\omega_f = -12.6 rad/s

so final angular speed is -12.6 rad/s

car is moving at 40 m/s. At 10 meters the driver spots a deer on the road and instantly steps on the brakes. If the car is 400 k
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

32000 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s

Distance (s) = 10 m

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Mass (m) of car = 400 Kg

Force (F) =?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the the car. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s

Distance (s) = 10 m

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) =?

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 40² + (2 × a × 10)

0 = 1600 + 20a

Collect like terms

0 – 1600 = 20a

–1600 = 20a

Divide both side by –1600

a = –1600 / 20

a = –80 m/s²

The negative sign indicate that the car is decelerating i.e coming to rest.

Finally, we shall determine the force needed to stop the car. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) of car = 400 Kg

Acceleration (a) = –80 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = ma

F = 400 × –80

F = – 32000 N

NOTE: The negative sign indicate that the force is in opposite direction to the motion of the car.

A 5kg object is moving at a height of 2 m. The potential energy of the object is closest to ___ j
elena55 [62]

Answer:

In this case, a body of mass 5 kg kept at a height of 10 m. So the potential energy is given as 5 * 10 *10 = 500 J.
