Calculate the potential energy at the top of the giant drop if the car weights 1000 kg

1 answer:

6 0

The gravitional potential energy, relative to the bottom of the giant drop, in joules, is (9800) times (the height of the drop in meters). That's the PE of the empty car only, not counting any hapless screaming souls who may be trapped in it at that moment.

A cannon is fired with an initial horizontal velocity of 20 m/s and initial vertical velocity of 25 m/s. After 3s in the air, th

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

60 m

Explanation:

After 3 seconds of travel at 20 m/s, the projectile is 3·20 = 60 meters horizontally from the cannon.

The vertical height after 3 seconds is 0.9 m, so the straight-line distance from cannon to target is √(60^2 +0.9^2) ≈ 60.007 meters.

Three children are riding on the edge of a merry-go-round that is 100 kg, has a 1.60-m radius, and is spinning at 20.0 rpm. The

Kay [80]

Answer:

25.33 rpm

Explanation:

M = 100 kg

m1 = 22 kg

m2 = 28 kg

m3 = 33 kg

r = 1.60 m

f = 20 rpm

Let the new angular speed in rpm is f'.

According to the law of conservation of angular momentum, when no external torque is applied, then the angular momentum of the system remains constant.

Initial angular momentum = final angular momentum

(1/2 x M x r^2 + m1 x r^2 + m2 x r^2 + m3 x r^2) x ω =

(1/2 x M x r^2 + m1 x r^2 + m3 x r^2 ) x ω'

(1/2 M + m1 + m2 + m3) x 2 x π x f = (1/2 M + m1 + m3) x 2 x π x f'

( 1/2 x 100 + 22 + 28 + 33) x 20 = (1/2 x 100 + 22 + 33) x f'

2660 = 105 x f'

f' = 25.33 rpm

Rod AB has a diameter of 200mm and rod BC has a diameter of 150mm. Find the required temperature increase to close the gap at C.

Leni [432]

Answer:

$T&=\frac{\sigma_{AB}+\sigma_{BC}}{2\alpha E}$

Explanation:

The given data :-

Diameter of rod AB ( d₁ ) = 200 mm.

Diameter of rod BC ( d₂ ) = 150 mm.

The linear co-efficient of thermal expansion of copper ( ∝ ) = 1.6 × 10⁻⁶ /°C

The young's modulus of elasticity of copper ( E ) = 120 GPa = 120 × 10³ MPa.
Consider the required temperature increase to close the gap at C = T °C
Consider the change in length of the rod = бL

Solution :-

$\begin{aligned}\sum H& =0\\-R_A+R_C&=0\\R_A&=R_C\\R_A&=R\\R_C&=R\\R_{A}&=\text{reaction\:force\:at\:A}\\R_{C}&=\text{reaction\:force\:at\:C}\\\sigma_{AB}&=\text{axial\:stress\:at\:A}\\\sigma_{BC}&=\text{axial\:stress\:at\:B}\\\sigma_{AB}&=\frac{R}{A_{A}}\\&=\frac{R_{A}}{A_{A}}\\\sigma_{BC}&=\frac{R_{B}}{A_{B}}\\&=\frac{R}{A_{B}}\\\frac{\sigma_{AB}}{\sigma_{BC}}&=\frac{A_{B}}{A_{B}}\\&=\frac{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot 150^{2}}{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot 200^{2}}\\&=\frac{9}{16}\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}\delta L&= (\delta L _{thermal} +\delta L_{axial})_{AB} + ( \delta L _{thermal} +\delta L_{axial})_{BC}\\0& = (\delta L _{thermal} +\delta L_{axial})_{AB} + ( \delta L _{thermal} +\delta L_{axial})_{BC}\\&=\left[\alpha\:T\:L+\left(\frac{-RL}{AE}\right)\right]_{AB}+\left[\alpha\:T\:L+\left(\frac{-RL}{AE}\right)\right]_{BC}\\&=2\:\alpha\:T\:L-\frac{L}{E}(\sigma_{AB}+\sigma_{BC})\\T&=\frac{\sigma_{AB}+\sigma_{BC}}{2\alpha E}\end{aligned}$
