A rock of mass 170 kg needs to be lifted off the ground. One end of a metal bar is slipped under the rock, and a fulcrum is set

up under the bar at a point that is 0.65 m from the rock. A worker pushes down (perpendicular) on the other end of the bar, which is 1.9 m away from the fulcrum. What force is required to move the rock?

Answer:

866.32 N

Explanation:

The diagram explains better.

Taking the total moment of forces, the sum of the clockwise moment of forces about the fulcrum must be equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moment of forces about the fulcrum:

F * (1.9 - 0.65) = 170 * 9.8 * 0.65

F * 1.25 = 1082.9

F = 1082.9/1.25

F = 866.32 N

A force of 866.32 N is needed to move the rock.

Two bicycle tires are set rolling with the same initial speed of 3.30 m/s along a long, straight road, and the distance each tra

vredina [299]

Answer:

At low pressure- $\mu_{k}=0.02315$

At high pressure- $\mu_{k}=0.00445$

Explanation:

Initial speed, $V_{i}=3.3 m/s$

Final speed, $V_{f}=3.3/2= 1.65 m/s$

Net horizontal force due to rolling friction $F_{net}=\mu_{k}$ mg where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, $\mu_{k}$ is coefficient of rolling friction

From kinematic relation, $V_{f}^{2}- V_{i}^{2}=2ad$

For each tire,

$V_{f}^{2}- V_{i}^{2}=2\mu_{k}gd$

Making $\mu_{k}$ the subject

$\mu_{k}=\frac {V_{f}^{2}- V_{i}^{2}}{2gd}$

Under low pressure of 40 Psi, d=18 m

$\mu_{k}=\frac {1.65^{2}- 3.3^{2}}{2*9.8*18}=-0.02315$

Therefore, $\mu_{k}=0.02315$

At a pressure of 105 Psi, d=93.7

$\mu_{k}=\frac {1.65^{2}- 3.3^{2}}{2*9.8*93.7}=-0.00445$

Therefore, $\mu_{k}=0.00445$

Modern wind turbines generate electricity from wind power. The large, massive blades have a large moment of inertia and carry a

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Each blade is in the form of rod with axis near one end of the rod

Moment of inertia of one blade

= 1/3 x m l²

where m is mass of the blade

l is length of each blade.

Total moment of moment of 3 blades

= 3 x $\frac{1}{3}$ x m l²

ml²

2 )

Given

m = 5500 kg

l = 45 m

Putting these values we get

moment of inertia of one blade

= 1/3 x 5500 x 45 x 45

= 37.125 x 10⁵ kg.m²

Moment of inertia of 3 blades

= 3 x 37.125 x 10⁵ kg.m²

= 111 .375 x 10⁵ kg.m²

c )

Angular momentum

= I x ω

I is moment of inertia of turbine

ω is angular velocity

ω = 2π f

f is frequency of rotation of blade

d )

I = 111 .375 x 10⁵ kg.m² ( Calculated )

f = 11 rpm ( revolution per minute )

= 11 / 60 revolution per second

ω = 2π f

= 2π x 11 / 60 rad / s

Angular momentum

= I x ω

111 .375 x 10⁵ kg.m² x 2π x 11 / 60 rad / s

= 128.23 x 10⁵ kgm² s⁻¹ .

A helicopter carrying Dr. Evil takes off with a constant upward acceleration of 5.0 m/s2. Secret agent Austin Powers jumps on ju

denpristay [2]

Answer:

a) $h=250\ m$

b) $\Delta h=0.0835\ m$

Explanation:

Given:

upward acceleration of the helicopter, $a=5\ m.s^{-2}$

time after the takeoff after which the engine is shut off, $t_a=10\ s$

a)

<u>Maximum height reached by the helicopter:</u>

using the equation of motion,

$h=u.t+\frac{1}{2} a.t^2$

where:

u = initial velocity of the helicopter = 0 (took-off from ground)

t = time of observation

$h=0+0.5\times 5\times 10^2$

$h=250\ m$

b)

time after which Austin Powers deploys parachute(time of free fall), $t_f=7\ s$

acceleration after deploying the parachute, $a_p=2\ m.s^{-2}$

<u>height fallen freely by Austin:</u>

$h_f=u.t_f+\frac{1}{2} g.t_f^2$

where:

$u=$ initial velocity of fall at the top = 0 (begins from the max height where the system is momentarily at rest)

$t_f=$ time of free fall

$h_f=0+0.5\times 9.8\times 7^2$

$h_f=240.1\ m$

<u>Velocity just before opening the parachute:</u>

$v_f=u+g.t_f$

$v_f=0+9.8\times 7$

$v_f=68.6\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>Time taken by the helicopter to fall:</u>

$h=u.t_h+\frac{1}{2} g.t_h^2$

where:

$u=$ initial velocity of the helicopter just before it begins falling freely = 0

$t_h=$ time taken by the helicopter to fall on ground

$h=$ height from where it falls = 250 m

now,

$250=0+0.5\times 9.8\times t_h^2$

$t_h=7.1429\ s$

From the above time 7 seconds are taken for free fall and the remaining time to fall with parachute.

<u>remaining time,</u>

$t'=t_h-t_f$

$t'=7.1428-7$

$t'=0.1428\ s$

<u>Now the height fallen in the remaining time using parachute:</u>

$h'=v_f.t'+\frac{1}{2} a_p.t'^2$

$h'=68.6\times 0.1428+0.5\times 2\times 0.1428^2$

$h'=9.8165\ m$

<u>Now the height of Austin above the ground when the helicopter crashed on the ground:</u>

$\Delta h=h-(h_f+h')$

$\Delta h=250-(240.1+9.8165)$

$\Delta h=0.0835\ m$

What is the velocity of a car that travels -50 meters in 5 seconds then 10 meters in 5 seconds

diamong [38]

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

The first part of the question the car is going in reverse or negative along the x axis. Then the second part the car is moving forward along the x axis. So the car would only have velocity in the current direction of movement. So our equation for velocity is as follows.

v = d/t

v = 10 m/5 s

v = 2 m/s
