A coin mass 0.005 kg is dropped from a height of 3 m. How much mechanical energy does it have right before it hits the ground ?

1 answer:

6 0

Mechanical energy equals the sum of potential and kinetic energy. During the process, all PE converts into KE, assuming air resistance is neglected. So, the mechanical energy does not change and is equal to the initial potential energy.
ME
=mgh
=0.005 x 9.81 x 3
=0.147J

zmey [24]

Answer:

The maximum amount of work is $W = 1563.289 \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The temperature of the environment is $T = 280\ K$

The volume of container A is $V_A = 2 m^3$

Initially the number of moles is $n = 1.2 \ moles$

The volume of container B is $V_B = 3.5 \ m^3$

At equilibrium of the gas the maximum work that can be done on the turbine is mathematically represented as

$W = P_A V_A ln[ \frac{V_B}{V_A} ]$

Now from the Ideal gas law

$P_A V_A = nRT$

So substituting for $P_A V_A$ in the equation above

$W = nRT ln [\frac{V_B}{V_A} ]$

Where R is the gas constant with a values of $R = 8.314 \ J/mol$

Substituting values we have that

$W = 1.2 * (8.314) * (280) * ln [\frac{3.5}{2} ]$

$W = 1563.289 \ J$

Two motorcycles are traveling in opposite directions at the same speed when one of the cyclists blasts her horn, which has frequ

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

6ms^-1

Explanation:

Given that the frequency difference is

( 563- 544) = 19

So alsoThe wavelength of each wave is = v/f = 344 /544

and there are 19 of this waves

So it is assumed that each motorcycle has moved 0.5 of this distance

in one second thus the speed of the motorcycles will be

=> 19/2 x 344/544 = 6.0 m/s

In this problem, you will practice applying this formula to several situations involving angular acceleration. In all of these s

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Part a)

$\alpha = \frac{2(m_1 - m_2)g}{(m_1 + m_2)L}$

Part b)

$\alpha = \frac{6(m1 - m_2)g}{3(m_1 + m_2)L + m_{bar}L}$

Explanation:

As we know that the see saw bar is massless so here torque due to two masses is given as

$\tau = I\alpha$

here we will have

$\tau = (m_1g - m_2g)(\frac{L}{2})$

now we will have inertia of two masses given as

$I = (m_1 + m_2)(\frac{L}{2})^2$

now we have

$I = (m_1 + m_2)\frac{L^2}{4}$

now the angular acceleration is given as

$\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}$

so we have

$\alpha = \frac{2(m_1 - m_2)g}{(m_1 + m_2)L}$

Part b)

Now if the rod is not massles then we will have total inertia given as

$I = (m_1 + m_2)(\frac{L}{2})^2 + \frac{m_{bar}L^2}{12}$

so we will have

$I = (m_1 + m_2)\frac{L^2}{4} + \frac{m_{bar}L^2}{12}$

now the acceleration is given as

$\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}$

$\alpha = \frac{6(m1 - m_2)g}{3(m_1 + m_2)L + m_{bar}L}$
