Answer: 0.28 m/s


Let

M1 = mass of Steve
V1 = velocity of Steve
M2 = mass of can
V2 = velocity of can

Because momentum is a conserved quantity:

P1 - P2 = 0

So

M1*V1 - M2*V2 = 0

78.0kg(V1) - 2.5kg(8.7m/s) = 0

78.0(V1) = 21.75

V1= 0.28 m/s

musickatia [10]

Answer:

P = 17.28*10⁶ N

Explanation:

Given

L = 250 mm = 0.25 m

a = 0.54 m

b = 0.40 m

E = 95 GPa = 95*10⁹ Pa

σmax = 80 MPa = 80*10⁶ Pa

ΔL = 0.12%*L = 0.0012*0.25 m = 3*10⁻⁴ m

We get A as follows:

A = a*b = (0.54 m)*(0.40 m) = 0.216 m²

then, we apply the formula

ΔL = P*L/(A*E)  ⇒ P = ΔL*A*E/L

⇒  P = (3*10⁻⁴ m)*(0.216 m²)*(95*10⁹ Pa)/(0.25 m)

⇒  P = 24624000  N = 24.624*10⁶ N

Now we can use the equation

σ = P/A

⇒  σ = (24624000  N)/(0.216 m²) = 114000000 Pa = 114 MPa > 80 MPa

So σ > σmax  we use σmax

⇒  P = σmax*A = (80*10⁶ Pa)*(0.216 m²) = 17280000 N = 17.28*10⁶ N

The crankshaft in a race car goes from rest to 3000 rpm in 2.0 s.
a_sh-v [17]
The equations are analogous to that for linear movement:
acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
acceleration = (3000 rpm - 0 rpm) / 2.0 s
a) acceleration = 1500 rpm/s or 25 rp(s^2)
For the displacement
displacement = initial velocity*time + 0.5*acceleration*time^2
displacement = (0)*(2 s) + (0.5)(25 rps^2)*(2 s)^2
b) displacement = 50 revolutions
