Answer:

A) v = 7 m/s

B) T = 8.526N

Explanation:

A) From work energy theorem, we know that;

K1 + U1 + W_other = K2 + U2

Where;

K1 and K2 are initial and final kinetic energy respectively while U1 and U2 are initial and final potential energy respectively.

Now, since the tension in the rope is always perpendicular to the direction of motion, W_other will be zero.

Also, since the potato started from rest, initial kinetic energy will be zero.

Also, since the potato ends at the zero potential level, final potential energy is zero.

Thus, we now have;

U1 = K2

We know that

Potential Energy = mgh

Kinetic energy = (1/2)mv²

Thus, mgh = (1/2)mv²

m will cancel out and we have;

gh = (1/2)v²

Making v the subject;

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

v = √2 x 9.8 x 2.5

v = √49

v = 7 m/s

B) Since the potato is in uniform circular motion at any point in it's part, it's acceleration is given by;

Angular acceleration; α = v²/R

Now taking the sum of forces at this point, and along the radial direction, if we apply Newton's second law of motion, we'll obtain;

Σ_f = T - W = F_rad

Where;

T is tension in spring,

W is weight = mg

F_rad is normal radial force = mα

Thus, we now have;

Σ_f = T - mg = mα

Now, from earlier, α = v²/R

Thus, T - mg = m(v²/R)

Plugging in the relevant values to get ;

T - (0.29 x 9.8) = 0.29x(7²/2.5)

T - 2.842 = 5.684

T = 5.684 + 2.842

T = 8.526N

Answer:

A) The speed of the potato at the lowest point of its motion is 7.004 m/s

B) The tension on the string at this point is 8.5347 N

Explanation:

Here we have that the height from which the potato is allowed to swing  is 2.5 m

Therefore we have ω₂² = ω₁² + 2α(θ₂ - θ₁)

Where:

ω₂ = Final angular velocity

ω₁ = Initial angular velocity = 0 rad/s

α = Angular acceleration

θ₂ = Final angle position

θ₁ = Initial angle position

However, we have potential energy of the potato

= Mass m×Gravity g× Height h

= 0.29×9.81×2.5 = 7.1125 J

At he bottom of the swing, the potential energy will convert to kinetic energy as follows

K.E. = P.E. = 7.1125 J

1/2·m·v² = 7.1125 J

Therefore,

v² = 7.1125 J/(1/2×m) = 7.1125 J/(1/2×0.290) = 49.05

∴ v = √49.05 = 7.004 m/s

B) Here we have the tension given by

Tension T in the string = weight of potato + Radial force of motion

Weight of potato = mass of potato × gravity

Radial force of motion of potato = mass of potato × α,

where α = Angular acceleration = v²/r and r = length of the string

∴ Tension T in the string = m×g + m×v²/r = 0.290×(9.81 + 7.004²/2.5)

T = 8.5347 N

A 64 kg swimmer jumps, with a velocity of 4.2 m/s, off the front of a 25 kg kayak when the kayak is moving forward at a velocity
Crank

Answer:

3.88m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1+m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses

u1 and 2 are the initial velocities

v is the final velocity

Given

m1 = 64kg

u1 = 4.2m/s

m2 = 25kg

u2 = 3.2m/s

Required

Final velocity v

Substitute the given values into the formula

64(4.2)+25(3.2) = (65+25)v

268.8+80 = 90v

348.8 = 90v

v = 348.8/90

v = 3.88m/s

Hence the velocity of the kayak after the swimmer jumps off is 3.88m/s

Write a question about how changing temperature affects gas
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

"How does the volume of a gas kept at constant pressure change as its temperature is increased?"

Explanation:

One possible question can be:

"How does the volume of a gas kept at constant pressure change as its temperature is increased?"

The answer to this question is contained in Charle's law, which states that for a gas at constant pressure, the volume of the gas is proportional to its absolute temperature:

V\propto T

Or also written as

\frac{V}{T}=const.

By looking at this equation, we can find immediately the answer to our question: as the (absolute) temperature of the gas increases, the volume increases as well, by the same proportion.
