A 47-kg packing crate is pulled with constant speed across a rough floor with a rope that is at an angle of 37 degrees above the

horizontal. If the tension in the rope is 142 N, how much work is done on the crate to move it 6.1m?

Tension in the rope due to applied force will be given as

$F = 142 N$

angle of applied force with horizontal is 37 degree

displacement along the floor = 6.1 m

so here we can use the formula of work done

$W = F d cos\theta$

now we can plug in all values above

$W = 142 * 6.1 * cos37$

$W = 691.8 J$

So here work done to pull is given by 691.8 J

Which means for obtaining hydrogen from water would require the most energy??

Flauer [41]

I think the correct answer would be to electrolyze water (run an electric current through it) to decompose it into hydrogen and oxygen. Assuming 100% efficiency, it is said that it needs about 40kWh per kilogram of water to fully decompose it.

In a 350-m race, runner A starts from rest and accelerates at 1.6 m/s^2 for the first 30 m and then runs at constant speed. Runn

kifflom [539]

Answer:

B can take 0.64 sec for the longest nap .

Explanation:

Given that,

Total distance = 350 m

Acceleration of A = 1.6 m/s²

Distance = 30 m

Acceleration of B = 2.0 m/s²

We need to calculate the time for A

Using equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at_{A}^2$

Put the value in the equation

$30=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.6\times t_{A}^2$

$t_{A}=\sqrt{\dfrac{30\times2}{1.6}}$

$t_{A}=6.12\ sec$

We need to calculate the time for B

Using equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at_{B}^2$

Put the value in the equation

$30=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times2.0\times t_{B}^2$

$t_{B}=\sqrt{\dfrac{30\times2}{2.0}}$

$t_{B}=5.48\ sec$

We need to calculate the time for longest nap

Using formula for difference of time

$t'=t_{A}-t_{B}$

$t'=6.12-5.48$

$t'=0.64\ s$

Hence, B can take 0.64 sec for the longest nap .

A roller coaster car may be approximated by a block of mass m. Thecar, which starts from rest, is released at a height h above t

elena55 [62]

Answer:

The first part can be solved via conservation of energy.

$mgh = mg2R + K\\K = mg(h-2R)$

For the second part,

the free body diagram of the car should be as follows:

- weight in the downwards direction

- normal force of the track to the car in the downwards direction

The total force should be equal to the centripetal force by Newton's Second Law.

$F = ma = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\mg + N = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

where $N = 0$ because we are looking for the case where the car loses contact.

$mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\v^2 = gR\\v = \sqrt{gR}$

Now we know the minimum velocity that the car should have. Using the energy conservation found in the first part, we can calculate the minimum height.

$mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}m(gR)\\gh = g2R + \frac{1}{2}gR\\h = 2R + \frac{R}{2}\\h = \frac{5R}{2}$

Explanation:

The point that might confuse you in this question is the direction of the normal force at the top of the loop.

We usually use the normal force opposite to the weight. However, normal force is the force that the road exerts on us. Imagine that the car goes through the loop very very fast. Its tires will feel a great amount of normal force, if its velocity is quite high. By the same logic, if its velocity is too low, it might not feel a normal force at all, which means losing contact with the track.

Initially, a 2.00-kg mass is whirling at the end of a string (in a circular path of radius 0.750 m) on a horizontal frictionless

drek231 [11]

Answer:

$v_f = 15 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using conservation of angular momentum.

The angular momentum $\vec{L}$ is

$\vec{L} = \vec{r} \times \vec{p}$

where $\vec{r}$ is the position and $\vec{p}$ the linear momentum.

We also know that the torque is

$\vec{\tau} = \frac{d\vec{L}}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} ( \vec{r} \times \vec{p} )$

$\vec{\tau} = \frac{d}{dt} \vec{r} \times \vec{p} + \vec{r} \times \frac{d}{dt} \vec{p}$

$\vec{\tau} = \vec{v} \times \vec{p} + \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$

but, as the linear momentum is $\vec{p} = m \vec{v}$ this means that is parallel to the velocity, and the first term must equal zero

$\vec{v} \times \vec{p}=0$

so

$\vec{\tau} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$

But, as the only horizontal force is the tension of the string, the force must be parallel to the vector position measured from the vertical rod, so

$\vec{\tau}_{rod} = 0$

this means, for the angular momentum measure from the rod:

$\frac{d\vec{L}_{rod}}{dt} = 0$

that means :

$\vec{L}_{rod} = constant$

So, the magnitude of initial angular momentum is :

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = |\vec{r}_i||\vec{p}_i| cos(\theta)$

but the angle is 90°, so:

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = |\vec{r}_i||\vec{p}_i|$

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = r_i * m * v_i$

We know that the distance to the rod is 0.750 m, the mass 2.00 kg and the speed 5 m/s, so:

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = 0.750 \ m \ 2.00 \ kg \ 5 \ \frac{m}{s}$

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = 7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s}$

For our final angular momentum we have:

$| \vec{L}_{rod_f} | = r_f * m * v_f$

and the radius is 0.250 m and the mass is 2.00 kg

$| \vec{L}_{rod_f} | = 0.250 m * 2.00 kg * v_f$

but, as the angular momentum is constant, this must be equal to the initial angular momentum

$7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s} = 0.250 m * 2.00 kg * v_f$

$v_f = \frac{7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s}}{ 0.250 m * 2.00 kg}$

$v_f = 15 \frac{m}{s}$
