Answer:
2442.5 Nm
Explanation:
Tension, T = 8.57 x 10^2 N
length of rope, l = 8.17 m
y = 0.524 m
h = 2.99 m
According to diagram
Sin θ = (2.99 - 0.524) / 8.17
Sin θ = 0.3018
θ = 17.6°
So, torque about the base of the tree is
Torque = T x Cos θ x 2.99
Torque = 8.57 x 100 x Cos 17.6° x 2.99
Torque = 2442.5 Nm
thus, the torque is 2442.5 Nm.
Refer to the diagram shown below.
Assume that air resistance is ignored.
Note:
The distance, h, of a falling object with initial vertical velocity of zero at time t is
h = (1/2)gt²
where
g = 9.8 m/s²
The initial vertical velocity of the supplies is 0 m/s.
It the time taken for the supplies to reach the ground is t, then
(50 m) = (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(t s)²
Hence obtain
t² = 50/4.9 = 10.2041
t = 3.1944 s
The horizontal distance traveled at a speed of 100 m/s is
d = (100 m/s)*(3.1944 s) = 319.44 m
Answer: 319.4 m (nearest tenth)
Answer:
The energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ
Explanation:
To solve this exercise it is necessary to compile the concepts of kinetic energy because of the drag force given in aerodynamic bodies. According to the theory we know that the drag force is defined by

Our values are:




Replacing,


We need calculate now the energy lost through a time T, then,

But we know that d is equal to

Where
v is the velocity and t the time. However the time is given in seconds but for this problem we need the time in hours, so,

(per hour)
Therefore the energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ
