The RATE of producing, moving, converting, or using energy is "power".
The unit is "watt".  1 watt means 1 joule of energy per second.

A student pushed a 100 N bicycle over a distance of 15 m in 5 s. calculate the power generated.
Umnica [9.8K]

The catch in this one is:  We don't know how much <u>force</u> the student used to push the bike.  

It wasn't necessarily the 100N.  That's just the weight of the bike. But you know that you can push a car, a wagon, or a bicycle hard, you can push it not so hard, you can give it a little push, you can give it a big push, you can push it strong, you can push it weak, you can push it medium.  The harder you push, the more it'll accelerate, but it's completely up to you how hard you want to push.  That's what's so great about wheels !  That's why they were such a great invention ! This is where I made my biggest mistake. This guy came into my store one day and said he's got this great invention, it's definitely going to take off, it'll be a winner for sure, he called it a "wheel".  I looked at it, I turned it over and I looked on all sides. I thought it was too simple.  I didn't know then it was elegant. I threw him out.  I was so dumb.  I could have invested money in that guy, today I would have probably more than a hundred dollars.

Anyway, can we figure out how much force the student used to push with ?  Stay tuned:

-- The bike covered 15 meters in 5 seconds.  Its average speed during the whole push was (15m/5s) = 3 meters/sec.

-- If the bike started out with no speed, and its average speed was 3 m/s, then it must have been moving at 6 m/s at the end of the push.

-- If its speed increased from zero to 6 m/s in 5 seconds, then its acceleration was (6m/s / 5 sec) = 1.2 m/s²

-- The bike's weight is 100N.  

(mass) x (gravity) = 100N

Bikemass = (100N) / (9.8 m/s²)

Bikemass = 10.2 kilograms

-- F = m A

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Force = (10.2 kg) x (1.2 m/s²)

Force = 12.24 N

-- Work = (force) x (distance)

Work = (12.24 N) x (15 m)

Work = 183.67 Joules

-- Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)

Power = (183.67 joules) / (5 seconds)

<em>Power = 36.73 watts</em>

Car A is accelerating in the direction of its motion at the rate of 3 ft /sec2. Car B is rounding a curve of 440-ft radius at a
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Incomplete question

Check attachment for the diagram of the problem.

Explanation:

The acceleration of the car A is given as

a=3ft/s²

Car B is rounding a curve of radius

r=440ft

Car B is moving at constant speed of Vb=30mi/hr.

Car A reach a speed of 45mi/hr

Note, 1 mile = 5280ft

And 1 hour= 3600s

Then

Va=45mi/hr=45×5280/3600

Va=66ft/s

Also,

Vb=30mi/hour=30×5280/3600

Vb=44ft/s

Now,

a. Let write the relative velocity of car B, relative to car A

Vb = Va + Vb/a

Then,

Using triangle rule, because vectors cannot be added automatically

Vb/a²= Vb²+Va²-2Va•VbCosθ

From the given graphical question the angle between Va and Vb is 60°.

Vb/a²=44²+66² - 2•44•66Cos60

Vb/a²=1936+ 4356 - 5808Cos60

Vb/a² = 3388

Vb/a = √3388

Vb/a = 58.21 ft/s

The direction is given as

Using Sine Rule

a/SinA = b/SinB = c/SinC

i.e.

Va/SinA = Vb/SinB = (Vb/a)/SinC

66/SinA = 44/SinB = 58.21/Sin60

Then, to get B

44/SinB = 58.21/Sin60

44Sin60/58.21  = SinB

0.6546 = SinB

B=arcsin(0.6546)

B=40.89°

b. The acceleration of Car B due to Car A.

Let write the relative acceleration  of car B, relative to car A.

Let Aa be acceleration of car A

Ab be the acceleration of car B.

Ab = Aa + Ab/a

Given the acceleration of car A

Aa=3ft/s²

Then to get the acceleration of car B, using the tangential acceleration formular

a = v²/r

Ab = Vb²/r

Ab = 44²/440

Ab = 4.4ft/s²

Using cosine rule again as above

Ab/a²= Aa²+Ab² - 2•Aa•Ab•Cosθ

Ab/a²= 3²+4.4²- 2•3•4.4•Cos30

Ab/a²= 9+19.36 - 22.863

Ab/a² = 5.497

Ab/a = √5.497

Ab/a = 2.34ft/s²

To get the direction using Sine rule again, as done above

Using Sine Rule

a/SinA = b/SinB = c/SinC

i.e.

Aa/SinA = Ab/SinB = (Ab/a)/SinC

3/SinA = 4.4/SinB = 2.34/Sin30

Then, to get B

4.4/SinB = 2.34/Sin30

4.4Sin30/2.34 = SinB

0.9402 = SinB

B=arcsin(0.9402)

B=70.1°

Since B is obtuse, the other solution for Sine is given as

B= nπ - θ.   , when n=1

B=180-70.1

B=109.92°

Describe the movement of air over 2 nearby land areas, one of which is heated more than the other.
77julia77 [94]
In this case, the air from the warm area will always start moving towards the colder areas because as the temperature in both lands should be equal. This is one of the laws of thermodynamics.

Newton's first law states that objects do not change their velocity unless acted upon
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Air resistance/Drag (this is the proper term for air resistance) or gravity or friction

It depends on the direction and if you throw it across a surface or if you throw it straight upwards.

I hope this helps!!
