A 70-kg runner begins his slide into second base where he is moving at a speed of 40.0 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction

between his clothes and Earth is 0.70. He slides so that his speed is zero just as he reaches the base.
(a) How much mechanical energy is lost due to friction acting on the runner.
(b) How far does he slide?

Answer:

(a) K.E = 56000 J = 56 KJ, (b) d = 116.618 m

Explanation:

Given:

m = 70 Kg, Vi = 40.0 m/s, Vf= 0 m/s, μk = 0.70

Solution:

(a) K.E. =? J (due to motion of the runner the mechanical energy loss is in the form K.E.)

K.E. = 1/2 m v² = 0.5 ×70 kg × (40.0 m/s)²

K.E = 56000 J = 56 KJ

(b) distance d =? m

W= F × d

∴W = K. E = 56000 J and F= mg μk

K.E. = mg μk × d

so 56000 J = 70 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.70 × d

d = 116.618 m

Given Information:

Initial speed = vi = 40 m/s

Final speed = vf = 0 m/s

Mass of runner = m = 70 kg

Coefficient of friction = k = 0.70

Required Information:

a) Energy lost = ?

b) Distance = ?

Answer:

a) Energy lost = 56000 Joules

b) Distance = 116.6 meters

Explanation:

As we know the kinetic energy is given by

KE = 0.5mvi²

KE = 0.5*70*(40)²

KE = 56000 J

The work done by the runner is given by

W = Fd

We also know that the work is done in the form of KE

KE = Fd

where F = mgk substitute in the above equation so equation becomes

KE = mgkd

d = KE/mgk

where g = 9.8 m/s² is acceleration due to gravity and and k = 0.70 is friction coefficient.

d = 56000/70*9.8*0.70

d = 116.6 m

Therefore, the runner slide for 116.5 m after he stopped at the base.

You have a car (2000kg) that is accelerating uphill at 5.5 m/s what was the force (N) applied to the car? Remember (F=ma - mg

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

<em>The force applied to the car was 30,600 N</em>

Explanation:

According to the second Newton's law, the net force applied to an object of mass m is:

$F_n=m.a\qquad\qquad [1]$

Where a is the acceleration at which the object moves. The net force can be also calculated as the sum of all forces acting on the body.

We have a car of m=2000 Kg, being accelerated at 5.5 m/s^2 by a force F (unknown) directed upwards.

Considering the force is upwards and the weight of the car (W) is directed downwards, the net force is:

$F_n=F-W\qquad\qquad [2]$

Being W=m.g

Equating [1] and [2]:

$F-W=m.a$

Adding W:

$F=W+m.a$

$F=m.g+m.a$

$F=m(g+a)$

Substituting:

$F=2000(9.8+5.5)$

$F=2000(15.3)$

F=30,600 N

The force applied to the car was 30,600 N

A house at the bottom of a hill is fed by a full tank of water 5m deep and connected to the house by a pipe that is 110m long at

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

a) $p=964178.7\ Pa$

b) $h=98.2853\ m$

Explanation:

Given;

depth of the water-tank, $d=5\ m$

length of the pipe, $l=110\ m$

inclination of the pipe from the horizontal, $\theta =58^{\circ}$

a)

Now the effective vertical height of the water column from the free surface of the water to the bottom of the pipe at house:

$h=d+l.\sin\theta$

$h=5+110\sin58$

$h=98.2853\ m$

Now the pressure due to effective water head:

$p=\rho.g.h$

where:

$\rho=$ density of the liquid, here water

$g=$ acceleration due to gravity

$h=$ height of the liquid column

$p=1000\times9.81\times 98.2853$

$p=964178.7\ Pa$

b)

Now the height of water corresponding to this pressure will be the same as the effective water head by the law of conservation of energy.

$h=98.2853\ m$

Answer:

Explanation:

The center of mass equation is: $x_{cm}$ = $\frac{m_{1}x_{1} + m_{2}x_{2} + m_{3}x_{3} + m_{4}x_{4} + m_{5}x_{5} + m_{6}x_{6}}{m_{1} + m_{2} + m_{3} + m_{4} + m_{5} + m_{6}}$ , where m represents the masses and x represents the position.

In order to find the coordinates of the center of mass, we need to use this equation for both the x-values and the y-values.

<u>x-values:</u>

<u /> $x_{cm}$ = $\frac{m_{1}x_{1} + m_{2}x_{2} + m_{3}x_{3} + m_{4}x_{4} + m_{5}x_{5} + m_{6}x_{6}}{m_{1} + m_{2} + m_{3} + m_{4} + m_{5} + m_{6}}$ = $\frac{4(-1)+6(4)+7(-3)+10(5)+2(-2)+12(3)}{4+6+7+10+2+12}$ = $\frac{(-4)+(24)+(-21)+(50)+(-4)+(36)}{41}$ = $\frac{81}{41}$ = 1.9756

<u>y-values:</u>

<u /> $y_{cm}$ = $\frac{m_{1}y_{1} + m_{2}y_{2} + m_{3}y_{3} + m_{4}y_{4} + m_{5}y_{5} + m_{6}y_{6}}{m_{1} + m_{2} + m_{3} + m_{4} + m_{5} + m_{6}}$ = $\frac{4(1)+6(2)+7(-2)+10(-4)+2(4)+12(-5)}{4+6+7+10+2+12}$ = $\frac{(4)+(12)+(-14)+(-40)+(8)+(-60)}{41}$ = $\frac{-90}{41}$ = -2.1951
