The pulley system below uses a gasoline engine to raise a drill head up through a smooth drill pipe. The engine provides a const

ant force of 900 N. The drill head has a mass of 80 kg. Find the power that is being consumed by the motor (provided by the gasoline) at the instant the drill head has been raised 5 m., starting from rest. The engine has an efficiency of 0.65.

NB: The diagram of the pulley system is not shown but the information provided is sufficient to answer the question

Answer:

Power = 2702.56 W

Explanation:

Let the power consumed be P

Energy expended = E = mgh

height, h = 5 m

E = 80 * 9.8 * 5

E = 3920 J

$Power = \frac{Energy}{time}$

To calculate the time, t

From F = ma

F = 900 N

900 = 80 a

a = 900/80

a = 11.25 m/s²

From the equation of motion, $s = ut + 0.5at^{2}$

The drill head starts from rest, u = 0 m/s

$5 = 0 * t + (0.5*11.25*t^{2} )\\5 = 5.625t^{2}\\t^{2} = 5/5.625\\t^{2} = 0.889\\t = 0.943 s$

Power, P = E/t

P = 3920/0.0.943

P = 4157.79 W

But Efficiency, E = 0.65

P = 0.65 * 4157.79

Power = 2702.56 W

A lowly high diver pushes off horizontally with a speed of 2.00 m/s from the platform edge 10.0 m above the surface of the water

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

(a) 1.6m

(b) 6.86m

(c) 2.86s

Explanation:

This is a horizontal shooting problem, so we will use the following equations.

For horizontal distance x we use:

$x(t)=x_{0}+v_{0}t$

Where $x(t)$ is the horizontal distance at a time $t$ , $x_{0}$ is the initial horizontal position which in this case will be zero: $x_{0}=0$ . And $v_{0}$ is the initial speed: $v_{0}=2m/s$

So to solve (a):

(a) At what horizontal distance from the edge is the diver 0.800 s after pushing off?

we have that the time is: $t=0.8s$ so the horizontal distance is:

$x(0.8)=(2m/s)(0.8s)1.6m$

<u>The answer for (a) is 1.6m</u>

Now, to solve (b) we need the equation for vertical distance:

$y(t)=y_{0}-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Where $y(t)$ is the vertical distance at a time $t$ , $y_{0}$ is the initial vertical distance: $y_{0}=10m$ And $g$ is the gravitational acceleration: $g=9.81m/s^2$ }

(b) At what vertical distance above the surface of the water is the diver just then?

The time is the same as in the last question: $t=0.8s$

$y(0.8)=10m-\frac{1}{2}(9.81m/s^2)(0.8)^2$

$y(0.8)=10m-\frac{1}{2}(9.81m/s^2)(0.64s^2)$

$y(0.8)=10m-\frac{1}{2}(6.2784m)$

$y(0.8)=10m-(3.1392)$

$y(0.8)=6.86m$

<u>the answer to (b) is 6.86m</u>

(c) At what horizontal distance from the edge does the diver strike the water?

To solve (c) we first need to know how long it took to reach the height of the water, that is, for what time y = 0

Using $y(t)=y_{0}-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

if $y(t)=0$

$0=10-\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\-10=-\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\20=gt^2\\\frac{20}{g}=t^2\\ \sqrt{\frac{20}{g}}=t$

and since $g=9.81m/s^2$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{20}{9.81} } =\sqrt{2.039}=1.43s$

At $t=1.43s$ the car hits the water, so the horizontal distance at that time is:

$x(t)=x_{0}+v_{0}t$

$x(1.43)=(2m/s)(1.43s)=2.86m$

<u>the answer to (c) is 2.86s</u>

(PLEASE HELP! 30 POINTS!) What are two similarities and two differences between the Strong Nuclear Force and Weak Nuclear Force?

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Difference: The weak force tears an atomic nucleus apart.The strong force is what keeps the protons and neutrons in a nucleus held together, while the weak force is what makes radioactive particles decay.Or even simpler: The strong force keeps stuff together while the weak force helps stuff split up.

Similarities: Weak force allows quarks to turn into other quarks, which can turn a neutron into a proton and break up the nucleus. ... One big difference is that the particles/fields that are responsible for carrying the strong force are massless, whereas for the weak force they are quite massive (nearly 100 times the proton mass).
