Answer:

The translational kinetic energy is 225 J

The rotational kinetic energy is 225 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the wheel, m = 2-kg

linear speed of the wheel, v = 15 m/s

Transnational kinetic energy is calculated as;

E = ¹/₂MV²

where;

M is mass of the moving object

V is the velocity of the object

E = ¹/₂ x 2 x (15)²

E = 225 J

Rotational kinetic energy is calculated as;

E = ¹/₂Iω²

where;

I is moment of inertia

ω is angular velocity

$E = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2\\\\E = \frac{1}{2} *mr^2*(\frac{v}{r})^2\\\\E = \frac{1}{2} *mr^2*\frac{v^2}{r^2} \\\\E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

E = ¹/₂ x 2 x (15)²

E = 225 J

Thus, the translational kinetic energy is equal to rotational kinetic energy

In April 1974, Steve Prefontaine completed a 10 km race in a time of 27 min, 43.6 s. Suppose "Pre" was at the 8.13 km mark at a

SOVA2 [1]

Answer: $0.084 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

Total time=27 min 43.6 s=1663.6 s

total distance=10 km

Initial distance $d_1=8.13 km$

time taken=25 min =1500 s

initial speed $v_1=\frac{8.13\times 1000}{25\times 60}=5.6 m/s$

after 8.13 km mark steve started to accelerate

speed after 60 s

$v_2=v_1+at$

$v_2=5.6+a\times 60$

distance traveled in 60 sec

$d_2=v_1\times 60+\frac{a60^2}{2}$

$d_2=336+1800 a$

time taken in last part of journey

$t_3=1663.6-1560=103.6 s$

distance traveled in this time

$d_3=v_2\times t_3$

$d_3=\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6$

and total distance $=d_1+d_2+d_3$

$10000=8.13\times 1000+336+1800 a+\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6$

$1870=336+1800 a+\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6$

$a=0.084 m/s^2$

A plastic film moves over two drums. During a 4-s interval the speed of the tape is increased uniformly from v0 = 2ft/s to v1 =

Ratling [72]

Answer:

Question 1)

a) The speed of the drums is increased from 2 ft/s to 4 ft/s in 4 s. From the below kinematic equations the acceleration of the drums can be determined.

$v_1 = v_0 + at \\4 = 2 + 4a\\a = 0.5~ft/s^2$

This is the linear acceleration of the drums. Since the tape does not slip on the drums, by the rule of rolling without slipping,

$v = \omega R\\a = \alpha R$

where α is the angular acceleration.

In order to continue this question, the radius of the drums should be given.

Let us denote the radius of the drums as R, the angular acceleration of drum B is

α = 0.5/R.

b) The distance travelled by the drums can be found by the following kinematics formula:

$v_1^2 = v_0^2 + 2ax\\4^2 = 2^2 + 2(0.5)x\\x = 12 ft$

One revolution is equal to the circumference of the drum. So, total number of revolutions is

$x / (2\pi R) = 6/(\pi R)$

Question 2)

a) In a rocket propulsion question, the acceleration of the rocket can be found by the following formula:

$a = \frac{dv}{dt} = -\frac{v_{fuel}}{m}\frac{dm}{dt} = -\frac{13000}{2600}25 = 125~ft/s^2$

b) $a = -\frac{v_{fuel}}{m}\frac{dm}{dt} = - \frac{13000}{400}25 = 812.5~ft/s^2$
