Help please:Calculate the mechanical energy of a bird flying at a speed of 10 m / s at an altitude of 15 m. If its mass is 150 g
Sonja [21]

Mass of the bird(m) = 150 g = 0.15 kg

Speed (v) = 10 m/s

Kinetic Energy = \frac{1}{2}m v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} 0.15 (10)^{2} = 7.5 J

Altitude (h) = 15 m

Gravitational Potential Energy = (0.15)(9.81)(15) = 22.0725 J

Mechanical Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy = 7.5 + 22.0725

= 29.5725 J

6. One minute after takeoff, a rocket carrying the space shuttle into outer space reaches a speed of 447 m/s.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

acceleration of the rocket is given as

a = 7.45 m/s^2

Explanation:

As we know that rocket starts from rest and then reach to final speed of 447 m/s after t = 1 min

so we have

v_i = 0

v_f = 447 m/s

t = 1 min = 60 s

so we have

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

a = \frac{447 - 0}{60}

a = 7.45 m/s^2

A 5.00 kg crate is suspended from the end of a short vertical rope of negligible mass. An upward force F(t) is applied to the en
Brut [27]

Answer:

75 N

Explanation:

In this problem, the position of the crate at time t is given by

y(t)=2.80t+0.61t^3

The velocity of the crate vs time is given by the derivative of the position, so it is:

v(t)=y'(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(2.80t+0.61t^3)=2.80+1.83t^2

Similarly, the acceleration of the crate vs time is given by the derivative of the velocity, so it is:

a(t)=v'(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(2.80+1.83t^2)=3.66t [m/s^2]

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force acting on the crate is equal to the product between mass and acceleration, so:

F(t)=ma(t)

where

m = 5.00 kg is the mass of the crate

At t = 4.10 s, the acceleration of the crate is

a(4.10)=3.66\cdot 4.10 =15.0 m/s^2

And therefore, the force on the crate is:

F=ma=(5.00)(15.0)=75 N
