Answer:

The value is KE = 259.6 \  J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The weight of the horizontal solid disk is  W = 805 \  N

      The radius of the horizontal solid disk is  r =  1.58 \  m

      The force applied by the child is  F  =  49.5 \  N

       The time considered is  t =  2.95 \  s

Generally the mass of the  horizontal solid disk is mathematically represented as

          m_h  =  \frac{W}{ g}

=>       m_h  =  \frac{805}{ 9.8 }

=>       m_h  =  82.14 \  N

Generally the moment of inertia  of the horizontal solid disk is mathematically represented as  

         I  =  \frac{1}{2} *  m *  r^ 2

=>      I  =  \frac{1}{2} *  82.14 *   1.58^ 2  

=>      I  =  102.5 \  kg \cdot m^2

Generally the net torque experienced by the horizontal solid disk is mathematically represented as

           T =  I  *  \alpha   =  F *  r

=>         \alpha  =  \frac{ F  *  r }{ I }

=>         \alpha  =  \frac{  49.5  *   1.58 }{  102.53 }

=>         \alpha  = 0.7628

Gnerally from kinematic equation we have that

         w =  w_o  +  \alpha t

Here  w_o is the initial angular velocity velocity of the horizontal solid disk  which is  w_o  =  0\   rad/s

So

           w =   0  +  0.7628 * 2.95

=>        w =  2.2503 \  rad/s

Generally the kinetic energy is mathematically represented as

        KE =  \frac{1}{2}  *  I  *  w^2

=>      KE =  \frac{1}{2}  * 102.53  *  2.2503 ^2

=>      KE = 259.6 \  J

Each driver has mass 79.0 kg. Including the masses of the drivers, the total masses of the vehicles are 800 kg for the car and 4
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Force exerted on the car driver by the seatbelt = 8139.4 N = 8.14 kN

Force exerted on the truck driver by the seatbelt = 1628.2 N = 1.63 kN

It is evident that the driver of the smaller vehicle has it worse. The car driver is in way more danger in this perfectly inelastic head-on collision with a bigger vehicle (the truck).

Explanation:

First of, we calculate the velocity of the vehicles after collision using the law of conservation of Momentum

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision

Since the collision of the two vehicles was described as a head-on collision, for the sake of consistent convention, we will take the direction of the velocity of the bigger vehicle (the truck) as the positive direction and the direction of the car's velocity automatically is the negative direction.

Velocity of the truck before collision = 6.80 m/s

Velocity of the car before collision = -6.80 m/s

Let the velocity of the inelastic unit of vehicles after collision be v

Momentum before collision = (4000)(6.80) + (800)(-6.80) = 27200 - 5440 = 21,760 kgm/s

Momentum after collision = (4000 + 800)(v) = (4800v) kgm/s

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision

21760 = 4800v

v = (21760/4800)

v = 4.533 m/s (in the direction of the big vehicle (the truck)

So, we then apply Newton's second law of motion which explains that the magnitude change in momentum is equal to the magnitude of impulse.

|Impulse| = |Change in momentum|

But Impulse = (Force exerted on each driver by the seatbelt) × (collision time) = (F×t)

Change in momentum = (Momentum after collision) - (Momentum before collision)

So, for the driver of the truck

Initial velocity = 6.80 m/s (the driver moves with the velocity of the truck)

Final velocity = 4.533 m/s

Change in momentum of the truck driver = (79)(6.80) - (79)(4.533) = 179.1 kgm/s

(F×t) = 179.1

F × 0.110 = 179.1

F = (179.1/0.11)

F = 1628.2 N = 1.63 kN

So, for the driver of the car

Initial velocity = -6.80 m/s (the driver moves with the velocity of the car)

Final velocity = 4.533 m/s

Change in momentum of the car driver = (79)(-6.80) - (79)(4.533) = -895.3 kgm/s

(F×t) = |-895.3|

F × 0.110 = 895.3

F = (895.3/0.11)

F = 8139.4 N = 8.14 kN

Hope this Helps!!!

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.5 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 60 N. a. How much
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

a)1815Joules b) 185Joules

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that the extension of a material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically;

F = ke where;

F is the applied force

k is the elastic constant

e is the extension of the material

From the formula, k = F/e

F1/e1 = F2/e2

If a force of 60N causes an extension of 0.5m of the string from its equilibrium position, the elastic constant of the spring will be ;

k = 60/0.5

k = 120N/m

a) To get the work done in stretching the spring 5.5m from its position,

Work done by the spring = 1/2ke²

Given k = 120N/m, e = 5.5m

Work done = 1/2×120×5.5²

Work done = 60× 5.5²

Work done = 1815Joules

b) work done in compressing the spring 1.5m from its equilibrium position will be gotten using the same formula;

Work done = 1/2ke²

Work done =1/2× 120×1.5²

Works done = 60×1.5²

Work done = 135Joules
