To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the equations concerning Work, both by general definition and by conservation of energy.

In other words, the work done by an object due to gravity is the equivalent to that defined by the potential energy equations, that is

$W= mg\Delta h$

Where,

m=mass

g=gravitational acceleration

$\Delta h =$ Change in height

On the other hand we have that the work done by tension is defined by the conservation of kinetic and potential energy, that is to say

$W= \Delta KE + \Delta PE$

Where,

$\Delta KE =$ Change in Kinetic Energy

$\Delta PE =$ Change in Potential Energy

PART A) As defined by the work done by gravity would be given by,

$W = mg\Delta h$

$W = (750)(9.8)(3.5)$

$W = 25.725kJ$

Therefore the work done by gravity is 25.725kJ

PART B) The work done by the tension applies the energy conservation equation, that is to say

$W= \Delta KE + \Delta PE$

$W = (\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2)+(mgh_f-mgh_i)$

$W = \frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2-v_i^2)+mg(h_f-h_i)$

Replacing with our values,

$W = \frac{1}{2}(750)(0.75^2-0.25^2)+(750)(9.8)(3.5)$

$W = 25.912kJ$

Therefore the work done by tension is 25.9kJ

You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics

spayn [35]

Answer:

$v_0 = 3.53~{\rm m/s}$

Explanation:

This is a projectile motion problem. We will first separate the motion into x- and y-components, apply the equations of kinematics separately, then we will combine them to find the initial velocity.

The initial velocity is in the x-direction, and there is no acceleration in the x-direction.

On the other hand, there no initial velocity in the y-component, so the arrow is basically in free-fall.

Applying the equations of kinematics in the x-direction gives

$x - x_0 = v_{x_0} t + \frac{1}{2}a_x t^2\\63 \times 10^{-3} = v_0t + 0\\t = \frac{63\times 10^{-3}}{v_0}$

For the y-direction gives

$v_y = v_{y_0} + a_y t\\v_y = 0 -9.8t\\v_y = -9.8t$

Combining both equation yields the y_component of the final velocity

$v_y = -9.8(\frac{63\times 10^{-3}}{v_0}) = -\frac{0.61}{v_0}$

Since we know the angle between the x- and y-components of the final velocity, which is 180° - 2.8° = 177.2°, we can calculate the initial velocity.

$\tan(\theta) = \frac{v_y}{v_x}\\\tan(177.2^\circ) = -0.0489 = \frac{v_y}{v_0} = \frac{-0.61/v_0}{v_0} = -\frac{0.61}{v_0^2}\\v_0 = 3.53~{\rm m/s}$

A 1200 Kg car rounds a corner of radius r = 45m. If the coefficient of static friction between the ties and the road is us = 0.8

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The greatest speed of the car is 19.36m/s

Explanation:

The maximum speed the car will attain without skidding is given by:

F= uN = umg ...eq1

But F = mv^2/r

mv^2/r = umg

Dividing both sides by m, leaves you with:

V= Sqrt(ugr)

Where u = coefficient of static friction

g = acceleration due to gravity

r = raduis

Given:

U = 0.82

r=0.82

g= 9.8m/s

V = Sqrt(0.82 × 9.8 × 45)

V = Sqrt(374.85)

V = 19.36m/s

When the displacement of a mass on a spring in simple harmonic motion is A/2 from the equilibrium position, what fraction of the

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

The ratio is KE : TM = 0.75

Explanation:

from the question we are told that

The displacement of a mass on a spring in simple harmonic motion is A/2 from the equilibrium position

Generally the total mechanical energy of the mass is mathematically represented as

$TM = \frac{1}{2} * k * A^2$

Here k is the spring constant , A is the total displacement of the the mass from maximum compression to maximum extension of the spring

Generally this total mechanical energy is mathematically represented as

$TM = KE + PE$

=> $KE = TM - PE$

Here the potential energy of the mass is mathematically represented as

$PE = \frac{1}{ 2} * k * [ x ]^2$

Here x is the displacement of the mass from maximum compression or extension of the spring to equilibrium position and the value is

$x = \frac{A}{2}$

So

$PE = \frac{1}{ 2} * k * [ \frac{A}{2} ]^2$

So

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * k * A^2 - \frac{1}{2} * k * [\frac{A}{2} ]^2$

=> $KE = \frac{1}{2} * k * A^2 - \frac{1}{8} * k * A ^2$

=> $KE = 0.375 * k * A^2$

So the ratio of $KE : TM$ is mathematically represented as

$\frac{KE}{TM} = \frac{0.375 k A^2 }{0.5 k A^2}$

=> $\frac{KE}{TM} = 0.75$

Which is the phase change in which a substance changes from a gas to liquid?

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Condensation

Explanation:

The phase change in which a substance changes from a gas to liquid is Condensation.

There are 3 natural states of matter;

Solids, Liquids, and Gases.

Matter under certain conditions can change from one state to another. When Solids are heated they change into Liquids through the process of Heating. Upon cooling, the Liquids convert to Solid through freezing. When a Liquid such as water is heated, it converts into the Gaseous state through evaporation. Upon cooling, the Gas converts back into the Liquid state through Condensation.
