A bungee jumper starts with 1000 J in their GPE store. After they jump they fall and are brought to a stop with the bungee cord.

pochemuha

Answer:

energy is equal to 1000 J

Explanation:

When the jumper is in the tent, he has a given height, this height gives him a gravitational potential energy, which forms his initial mechanical energy of 1000 J. After jumping, this energy is converted into elastic energy of the rope plus a remainder of potential energy gravitational, it does not reach the ground, but as the friction is negligible the total mechanical energy is conserved, therefore its energy is equal to 1000 J

This is a case of energy transformation, but the total value of mechanical energy does not change

The velocity profile in fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe of inner radius R 5 2 cm, in m/s, is given by u(r) 5 4(1

xxMikexx [17]

The question is not clear and the complete clear question is;

The velocity profile in fully developed laminar flow In a circular pipe of inner radius R = 2 cm, in m/s, is given By u(r) = 4(1 - r²/R²). Determine the average and maximum Velocities in the pipe and the volume flow rate.

Answer:

A) V_max = 4 m/s

B) V_avg = 2 m/s

C) Flow rate = 0.00251 m³/s

Explanation:

A) We are given that;

u(r) = 4(1 - (r²/R²))

To obtain the maximum velocity, let's apply the maximum condition for a single-variable continual real valued problem to obtain;

(d/dr)(u(r)) = 0

Thus,

(d/dr)•4(1 - (r²/R²)) = 0

4(d/dr)(1 - (r²/R²)) = 0

If we differentiate, we have;

4(0 - (2r/R²)) = 0

-8r/R² = 0

Thus, r = 0 and with that, the maximum velocity is at the centre of the pipe.

Thus, for maximum velocity, let's put 0 for r in the U(r) function.

Thus,

V_max = 4(1 - 0²/R²) = 4 - 0 = 4 m/s

B) Average velocity is given by;

V_avg = V_max/2

V_avg = 4/2 = 2 m/s

C) the flow can be calculated from;

Flow rate ΔV = A•V_avg

A is area = πr²

From question, r = 2cm = 0.02m

A = π x 0.02²

Hence,

ΔV = π x 0.02² x 2 = 0.00251 m³/s

Small rockets are used to make small adjustments in the speed of satellites. One such rocket has a thrust of 42 N. If it is fire

Over [174]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Newton's second law that relates force as the product between acceleration and mass. From there, we will get the acceleration. Finally, through the cinematic equations of motion we will find the time required by the object.

If the Force (F) is 42N on an object of mass (m) of 83000kg we have that the acceleration would be by Newton's second law.

$F = ma \rightarrow a = \frac{F}{m}$
