A boy in a wheelchair (total mass 54.5 kg) has speed 1.40 m/s at the crest of a slope 2.10 m high and 12.4 m long. At the bottom

of the slope his speed is 6.60 m/s. Assume air resistance and rolling resistance can be modeled as a constant friction force of 41.0 N. Find the work he did in pushing forward on his wheels during the downhill ride.

Answer:

630.75 j

Explanation:

from the question we have the following

total mass (m) = 54.5 kg

initial speed (Vi) = 1.4 m/s

final speed (Vf) = 6.6 m/s

frictional force (FF) = 41 N

height of slope (h) = 2.1 m

length of slope (d) = 12.4 m

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2

work done (wd) = ?

  • we can calculate the work done by the boy in pushing the chair using the law of law of conservation of energy

wd + mgh = (0.5 mVf^2) - (0.5 mVi^2) + (FF x  d)

wd = (0.5 mVf^2) - (0.5 mVi^2) + (FF x  d) - (mgh)

where wd = work done

m = mass

h = height

g = acceleration due to gravity

FF = frictional force

d = distance

Vf and Vi = final and initial velocity

wd =  (0.5 x 54.5 x 6.9^2) - (0.5 x 54.5 x 1.4^2) + (41 x 12.4) - (54.5 X 9.8 X 2.1)            

wd = 630.75 j

A 3.5 kg object moving at 8.1 m/s in the positive direction of an x axis has a one-dimensional elastic collision with an object
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

So the mass of the second object M will be 1.951 kg    

Explanation:

We have given mass of the first object m_1=3.5kg and its velocity v_1=8.1m/sec

Mass of the second object m_2=M  it is at rest so its velocity v_2=0

From conservation of momentum we know that

Initial momentum = final momentum

So m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v

3.5\times 8.1+M\times 0=(3.5+M)5.2

28.35=18.2+5.2M

M = 1.951 kg
