You carry a 5 kg sack of potatoes across the store for 5 minutes, and you wait in line holding it for 30 seconds before you get

tired and drop it. You then lift the sack of potatoes upwards for 160 cm and place it on the counter. How much work did you do at the store?

Answer:

The only work done is when the person lifts the sack over a distance, W = 78.48 [N]

Explanation:

We have to remember the definition of work, which tells us that work is the result of a force by a distance, we must apply this concept in each of the movements of the person in the problem described.

W = F * d

where:

F = force [N]

d = distance [m]

The force is given by the producto of the mass by the gravity.

F = 5 * 9.81 = 49.05 [N]

W = 49.05 * 1.6 = 78.48 [N]

Using kinematics: 8.1 = 1/2(9.8)(t^2),
t = 1.2857 s.
Horizontal distance x travelled is x = vhorizontal * t, so 9.3 = v*1.2857, or v= 7.233 m/s horizontally.

Modern wind turbines are larger than they appear, and despite their apparently lazy motion, the speed of the blades tips can be
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

speed and acceleration of the turbine V = 80.24 m/s   and a = 109.1 m/s²

Explanation:

The wind turbine describes a circular motion, with constant angular velocity, we can find the speed with the equation

                     V = x / t

Where x is the distance traveled which is the length of the circle (X = 2πr) and time is the time in a revolution, which in this case is called the period

                    t = 60/13  

                    t = 4.62 s

                    x = 2 p1 59

                    x = 370.71 m

                    V = 370.1 / 4.62

                    V = 80.24 m / s

The centripetal acceleration is given by the equation

                   a = V² / r

                   a = 80.24²/59

                   a = 109.1 m / s²

The second part of the exercise seems totally independent

The dog r = 16cm with a speed of 2.5 m/s, ask us the centripetal force

                  F = m a

                  F = m (v² / r)

                  m = 10 mg (1g / 1000mg) 1 Kg / 1000 g) = 1 10⁻⁵ Kg

                  r = 16 cm (1m / 100cm) = 16 10⁻² m

         

                 F = 1 10⁻⁵ 2.5²/16 10⁻²

                 F = 3.91 10⁻² N

Let's calculate the relationship between the force and the weight of the drop

                 F / W = 3.91 10⁻² (1 10⁻⁵ 9.8)

                 F / W = 3.99 10 ²

See that the force of the shake is approximately 400 times greater than the weight of the drop

Find rate of speed in water with the rate of the current.
vitfil [10]

Answer: The speed of the boat in still water or 'b' = 10 km/h. The speed of the current or the river = 4 km/h. Therefore the speed of the boat when going upstream = b – r = 10 – 4 = 6 km/hr. Therefore the distance covered in one hour = 6/1 = 6 km.

jeka94

Answer:

V=0.972m^2

Explanation:

the energy balance is :

E_{in} -E_{out} =ΔE_{system}

0=ΔU=mm(u_{2} -u_1)

u_1=u_2

the properties of water are from table

P_1=500 kpa\\T_1=60 degree C\\v_1=v_f_{-->60} =251.6 Kj/Kg

verified if we get a quantity between 0 and 1

P_2=10 kpa\\u_2=u_1

we have,

v_f=0.001\\v=14.670 m^3/kg\\u_f=191.79\\v_{fg}=2245.4 Kj/Kg\\

therefore,

x_2=\frac{u_2-u_f}{u_{fg} }

we replace the values in this equation:

x_2=\frac{251.6-191.79}{2245.4}\\ x_2=0.026

so,

T_2=T_{sat--10kpa} =45.81\\v_2=v_f-x_2v_{fg}

we replace the values in this equation:

v_2=0.38886m^3/kg

we have,

V=mv_2

we replace the values in this equation:

V=0.972m^2
