A cave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. The lift i

s performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 11.0 m: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 1.10 m/s; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 1.10 m/s; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. How much work is done on the 78.0 kg rescue by the force lifting him during each stage?

Answer

Mass m = 78 kg

Vertical height in each stage h = 11 m

(a).

Initial speed u = 0

Final speed v = 1.1 m / s

v^2=u^2 + 2 as

1.1^2 = 2 a \times 11

a = 0.055 m/s²

Work done

W_a= m g h + \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

W_a= 78\times 9.8 \times 11 + \dfrac{1}{2} 78 \times 1.1^2

W_a = 8408.4 + 47.19

W_a = 8455.59 J

(b).Work done

W_b= mgh

W_b = 78× 9.8× 11

W_b= 8408.4 J

c)

Work done

W= m g h + \dfrac{1}{2}m(v_f-v_i)^2

Where V = final speed

               = 0

            v = 1.1 m / s

for deceleration a = -0.055 m/s²

now,

F_L = 56 (-0.055+9.8) = 545.72 N

W_c = 545.75 × 11

W_c = 6003.25 J

A passenger on a stopped bus notices that rain is falling vertically just outside the window. When the bus moves with constant v
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

1)0.325

2)6.17\ \rm m/s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

The angle that falling raindrops make with the vertical=18^\circ

Let V_R be the velocity of the raindrops and V_B be the velocity of the bus.

1)

\dfrac{V_R}{V_B}=\tan 18^\circ\\\dfrac{V_R}{V_B}=0.315\\

2)Speed of the raindrops=0.315\times 19

=6.17\ \rm m/s

Find the orbital speed v for a satellite in a circular orbit of radius R.Express the orbital speed in terms of G, M, and R.
AlekseyPX
<h2>Answer:V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}  </h2>

The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is <u>constant</u> and defined by the following expression:

V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}     (1)

Where:

G is the gravity constant

M the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting

R the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).

Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. I<u>t depends on the mass of the massive body.</u>

In addition, this orbital speed is constant because at all times <u>both the kinetic energy and the potential remain constant</u> in a circular (closed) orbit.

A speed-time graph is shown below:
VladimirAG [237]

Answer: 0.5 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Average acceleration a_{ave} is the variation of velocity \Delta V over a specified period of time \Delta t:

a_{ave}=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t}}

Where:

\Delta V=V_{f}-V_{o} being V_{o}=0 cm/s the initial velocity and V_{f}=4 cm/s the final velocity  (according to the information given from the described graph)

\Delta t=8 s

Then:

a_{ave}=\frac{4 cm/s -0 cm/s}{8 s}}

a_{ave}=0.5 m/s^{2}
