Answer:

$0.5mv^{2}$

Explanation:

Kinetic energy, $KE= 0.5mv^{2}$

while potential energy, PE= mgh where m is the mass, v is the velocity of the ball, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

The question requires kinetic energy hence we use the $KE= 0.5mv^{2}$

Since the figures are not given, we maintain that $KE= 0.5mv^{2}$

Army is standing still on the ground; Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward: and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s west

Aleks04 [339]

Explanation:

Given that,

Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward: and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westward.

Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:

$v_B=+5\ m/s$ is the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)

$v_c=15\ m/s$ is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy.

Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is

$v_B=+5\ m/s$

Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be

$v_c'=-15\ m/s-(+5\ m/s)\\\\=-20\ m/s$

So, the magnitude is 20 m/s and the direction is westward (negative sign).

If the coefficient of friction is 0.3900 and the cylinder has a radius of 2.700 m, what is the minimum angular speed of the cyli

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

w=3.05 rad/s or 29.88rpm

Explanation:

k = coefficient of friction = 0.3900

R = radius of the cylinder = 2.7m

V = linear speed of rotation of the cylinder

w = angular speed = V/R or to rewrite V = w*R

N = normal force to cylinder

N= $=\frac{m(V)^{2}}{R}=m*(w)^2*R$

$Friction force\\Ff = k*N\\Ff= k*m*w^2*R$

$Gravitational force \\Fg = m*g$

These must be balanced (the net force on the people will be 0) so set them equal to each other.

$Fg = Ff$

$m*g = k*m*w^2*R$

$g=k*w^{2}*R$

$w^2 =\frac{g}{k*R}$

$w=\sqrt{\frac{g}{k*R}} \\w =\sqrt{\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}{0.3900*2.7m}}\\ w=\sqrt{9.306}=3.05 \frac{rad}{s}$

There are 2*pi radians in 1 revolution so:

$RPM=\frac{w}{2\pi }*60\\RPM=\frac{3.05\frac{rad}{s}}{2\pi}*60\\RPM= 0.498*60\\RPM=29.88$

So you need about 30 RPM to keep people from falling out the bottom
