Answer:

5.33kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Velocity of eagle = 15m/s

Kinetic energy of the eagle = 600J

Unknown:

Mass of the eagle = ?

Solution:

The kinetic energy of any body is the energy due to the motion of a body. There are different forms of kinetic energy some of which are thermal, mechanical, electrical energy.

The formula of kinetic energy is given as;

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ m v²

where m is the mass, V is the velocity

substitute the parameters in the equation;

600 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x m x 15²

225m = 1200

m = $\frac{1200}{225}$ = 5.33kg

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The potential energy is $-4x^3$

Explanation:

Given that,

Force $F=-\alpha x^2 i$

We need to calculate the potential energy

Using formula of work done

$\Delta U=F(x) dx$

Put the value of F

$\Delta U=-\alpha x^2\ dx$

On integration

$U=-\alpha \dfrac{x^3}{3}+C$

$U=-\dfrac{\alpha x^3}{3}+C$ ...(I)

U = 0, x = 0 so C = 0

Put the value of c and α in equation (I)

$U=-\dfrac{12x^3}{3}+0$

$U=-4x^3$

Hence, The potential energy is $-4x^3$

A car is designed to get its energy from a rotating

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

(a). The kinetic energy stored in the fly wheel is 46.88 MJ.

(b). The time is 1.163 hours.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 1.50 m

Mass = 475 kg

Power $P= 15.0 hp = 15.0\times746=11190 watt$

Rotational speed = 4000 rev/min

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

$I=\dfrac{1}{2}mr^2$

Put the value into the formula

$I=\dfrac{1}{2}\times475\times(1.50)^2$

$I=534.375\ kg m^2$

(a). We need to calculate the kinetic energy stored in the fly wheel

Using formula of K.E

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

Put the value into the formula

$K.E = \dfrac{1}{2}\times534.375\times(4000\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60})^2$

$K.E=46880620.9\ J$

$K.E =46.88\times10^{6}\ J$

$K.E =46.88\ MJ$

(b). We need to calculate the length of time the car could run before the flywheel would have to be brought backup to speed

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{46.88\times10^{6}}{11190}$

$t=4189.45\ sec$

$t=1.163\ hours$

Hence, (a). The kinetic energy stored in the fly wheel is 46.88 MJ.

(b). The time is 1.163 hours.

A 1500-kg car accelerates from rest to 25 m/s in 7.0 s. what is the average power delivered by the engine? (1 hp = 746 w)

AVprozaik [17]

The solution for this is:
Work done = force * distance = m*a*d and power = energy/time
The vo=0 and vf = 25 m/s and t=7 sec. This gives...
3.6 m/s^2 as acceleration and d=87.5 meters and thus F=ma= 5400 N.
Energy = 5400*87.5 = 4.7E5 Joules (2 sig. figs) and Power = 67,500 Watts or 90 HP (2 sig. figs again).

1. A 25.35-g piece of iron absorbs 1562.75 Joules of heat energy, and its temperature

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Q = C M T where C is the specific, M the mass, T the temperature change

Note 1 cal = 4.19 Joules

1562.75 J / (4.19 J/cal) = 378 cal

C = Q / (M * T) = 378 cal / (25.35 g * 155 deg C)

C = .096 cal / g deg C
