Calculate the force needed to bring a 950-kg car to rest from a speed of 90.0 km/h in a distance of 120 m (a fairly typical dist

ance for a non-panic stop). (b) Suppose instead the car hits a concrete abutment at full speed and is brought to a stop in 2.00 m.

Answer:

a)

2474 N

b)

148438 N

Explanation:

(a)

v₀ = initial velocity of the car = 90 km/h = 25 m/s

v = final velocity of the car = 0 m/s

d = stopping distance for the car = 120 m

F = force needed to bring the car to rest

m = mass of the car = 950 kg

Using Work-change in kinetic energy theorem

F d Cos180 = (0.5) m (v² - v₀²)

F (120) (-1) = (0.5) (950) (0² - 25²)

F = 2474 N

b)

v₀ = initial velocity of the car = 90 km/h = 25 m/s

v = final velocity of the car = 0 m/s

d = stopping distance for the car = 2 m

F = force needed to bring the car to rest

m = mass of the car = 950 kg

Using Work-change in kinetic energy theorem

F d Cos180 = (0.5) m (v² - v₀²)

F (2) (-1) = (0.5) (950) (0² - 25²)

F = 148438 N

A force of 40 N is required to hold a spring that has been stretched from its natural length of 10 cm to a length of 15 cm. How
Sati [7]

0.36 J of work is done in stretching the spring from 15 cm to 18 cm.

To find the correct answer, we need to know about the work done to strech a string.

<h3>What is the work required to strech a string?</h3>
  • Mathematically, the work done to strech a string is given as 1/2 ×K×x².
  • K is the spring constant.
<h3>What will be the spring constant, if 40N force is required to hold a 10 cm to 15 cm streched spring?</h3>
  • The force experienced by a streched spring is given as Kx. x is the length of the spring streched from its natural length.
  • Then K = Force / x.
  • Here x = 15 - 10 = 5 cm = 0.05 m
  • K = 40/0.05 = 800N/m.
<h3>What will be the work required to strech that spring from 15 cm to 18 cm?</h3>
  • Work done = 1/2×k×x²
  • Here x= 18-15=3cm or 0.03 m
  • So, W= 1/2×800×0.03² = 0.36 J.

Thus, we can conclude that the work done is 0.36 J.

A 480 g peregrine falcon reaches a speed of 69 m/s in a vertical dive called a stoop. If we assume that the falcon speeds up und
LiRa [457]

Answer:

The minimun height is 242 [m]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the principle of energy conservation, where potential energy becomes kinetic energy. We will take the point where the Falcon reaches the speed of 69 (m/s), as the point where the potential energy is zero, i.e. it will be the reference point.

At the reference point all potential energy has been transformed into kinetic energy, therefore the kinetic energy can be calculated.

E_{k}=0.5*m*v^{2} \\ where:\\v = velocity = 69 [m/s]\\m = mass = 480[g] = 0.480[kg]\\E_{k} = kinetic energy [J]\\E_{k} =0.5*0.48*(69)^{2} \\E_{k} =1142.64[J]

Now we can calculate the elevation with respect to the reference point using the definition of the potential energy.

E_{p}=m*g*h\\ E_{p}=E_{k} \\therefore\\h= E_{p}/(m*g)\\h= 1142.64/(.48*9.81)\\h=242[m]
