A moving particle is subject to conservative forces only. When its kinetic energy decreases by 10 J, what happens to its mechani

Answer:

Its mechanical energy is the same.

Explanation:

If forces are only conservative, the mechanical energy will be the same.

It can be different if energy get transformed in another kind of energy like elastic energy for example, although the amount of energy is always the same.

If we just have mechanical energy not geting transformed we have:

Em=K+U

Em: Mechanical energy

K: Kinetic energý

U: Potential energy

Then if Kinetic energy decreases 10J, Potential energy will grow up 10J to keep the same amount of mechanical energy.

Yes. The line is increasing. The flat line at the top of the graph is where there is not acceleration and the decreasing line is deceleration.

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

A motorcycle has a speed of 30 m / s. After braking, it decelerates with constant deceleration A = -3.0 m / s ^ 2
marin [14]

a = \displaystyle\frac{v-u}{t}

-3 = \displaystyle\frac{v - 30}{3}

v -30 = -9

v = 21 m/s

1. A sprinter races in the 100 meter dash. It takes him 10 second to reach the finish line
poizon [28]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by a sprinter, d = 100 m

Time taken by him to reach the finish line, t = 10 s

We need to find his average velocity. We know that velocity is equal to the distance covered divided by time taken. So,

v = d/t

v=\dfrac{100\ m}{10\ s}\\\\v=10\ m/s

Hence, his average velocity is 10 m/s.

Recall from Chapter 1 that a watt is a unit of en- ergy per unit time, and one watt (W) is equal to one joule per second ( J·s–1
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by the equation E_p=h f, where h is the <em>Planck constant</em> and f the frequency of the photon. Thus, N photons of frequency f will give an energy of E_N=N h f.

We also know that frequency and wavelength are related by f=\frac{c}{\lambda}, so we have E_N=\frac{N h c}{\lambda}, where c is the <em>speed of light</em>.

We will want the number of photons, so we can write

N=\frac{\lambda E_N}{h c}

We need to know then how much energy do we have to calculate N. The equation of power is P=E/t, so for the power we have and considering 1 second we can calculate the total energy, and then only consider the 4% of it which will produce light, or better said, the N photons, which means it will be E_N.

Putting this paragraph in equations:

E_N=(\frac{4}{100})E=0.04Pt=(0.04)(100W)(1s)=4J.

And then we can substitute everything in our equation for number of photons, in S.I. and getting the values of constants from tables:

N=\frac{\lambda E_N}{h c}=\frac{(520 \times10^{-9}m) (4J)}{(6.626\times10^{-34}Js) (299792458m/s)}=1.047 \times10^{19}
