Digiron [165]2 years ago

Answer:

5.92×10⁷ J

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 15 tons to Newton. This can be obtained as follow:

1 ton = 9806.65 N

Therefore,

15 ton = 15 ton × 9806.65 N / 1 ton

15 ton = 147099.75 N

Next, we shall convert one-quarter (¼) or 0.25 mile to metre. This can be obtained as follow:

100 mi = 160934 m

0.25 mi = 0.25 mi × 160934 / 100 mi

0.25 mi = 402.335 m

Finally, we shall determine the Workdone. This can be obtained as follow:

Force (F) = 147099.75 N

Distance (d) = 402.335 m

Workdone (Wd) =?

Wd = F × d

Wd = 147099.75 × 402.335

Wd = 5.92×10⁷ J

Thus, the Workdone is 5.92×10⁷ J

We wrap a light, nonstretching cable around a 8.00 kg solid cylinder with diameter of 30.0 cm. The cylinder rotates with negligi
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

h = 16.67m

Explanation:

If the kinetic energy of the cylinder is 510J:

Kc=510=1/2*Ic*\omega c^2

\omega c=\sqrt{510*2/Ic}

Where the inertia is given by:

Ic=1/2*m_c*R_c^2=1/2*(8)*(0.15)^2=0.0225kg.m^2

Replacing this value:

\omega c=106.46rad/s

Speed of the block will therefore be:

V_b=\omega_c*R_c=106.46*0.15=15.969m/s

By conservation of energy:

Eo = Ef

Eo = 0

Ef = 510+1/2*m_b*V_b^2-m_b*g*h

So,

0 = 510+1/2*m_b*V_b^2-m_b*g*h

Solving for h we get:

h=16.67m

A skater slides across the ice with an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s. She slows 10 points
zvonat [6]

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial velocity of a skater is, u = 5 m/s

She slows to a velocity of 2 m/s over a distance of 20 m.

We can find the acceleration of skater. It is equal to the rate of change of velocity. So, it can be calculated using third equation of motion as follows :

v^2-u^2=2as

a = acceleration

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\\a=\dfrac{(2)^2-(5)^2}{2\times 20}\\\\a=-0.525\ m/s^2

So, her acceleration is 0.525\ m/s^2 and she is deaccelerating. Also, her initial velocity is given i.e. 5 m/s.
