A bicyclist rides 5.0 km due east, while the resistive forcefrom the air has a magnitude of 3.0 N and points due west. Therider

then turns around and rides 5.0 km due west, back to herstarting point. The resistive force from the air on the return triphas a magnitude of 3.0 N and points due east.
a) Find the work done by the resistive force during the roundtrip.
Based on answer in part A.
b) Is the resistive force a conservative force? explain.

Answer:

a) Find the work done by the resistive force during the roundtrip.

W=-30kJ

b) Is the resistive force a conservative force? explain.

The resistive force is not a conservative force since the work done during the round trip is not zero

Explanation:

The worf done on object y a constant force F is given by:

W= (F cos ∅)S

Where S is the displacement and ∅ is the angle between the force and the displacement.

The displacement of the bicycle during each part of the trip is s=5000m and teh magnitude of teh resistance force is F=3.0N

∅1=180° he angle between the displacement and the force

W1=W2

W1 = (3.0 cos180) 5000m

W1=-15.O kJ

W=W1+W2

W=-30kJ

The resistive force is not a conservative force since the work done during the round trip is not zero

An astronaut holds a rock 100m above the surface of Planet X . The rock is then thrown upward with a speed of 15m/s , as shown i

Butoxors [25]

Answer: $5 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

The described situation is is related to vertical motion (and free fall). So, we can use the following equation that models what happens with this rock:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y=0m$ is the rock's final height

$y_{o}=100 m$ is the rock's initial height

$V_{o}=15 m/s$ is the rock's initial velocity

$\theta=90\°$ is the angle at which the rock was thrown (directly upwards)

$t=10 s$ is the time

$g$ is the acceleration due gravity in Planet X

Then, isolating $g$ and taking into account $sin(90\°)=1$ :

$g=(-\frac{2}{t^{2}})(y-y_{o}-V_{o}t)$ (2)

$g=(-\frac{2}{(10 s)^{2}})(0 m-100 m-(15 m/s)(10 s))$ (3)

Finally:

$g=5 m/s^{2}$ (4) This is the acceleration due gravity in Planet X

The maximum safe air pressure of a tire is typically written on the tire itself. The label on a tire indicates that the maximum

Lelu [443]

Answer:

220.508 kPa

Explanation:

32 psi = 32 pound force per square inch = 32 lbf/in2 = 32 * (4.448 N/lbf) * (12 in/ft * 3.28 ft/m)^2

$= 32*4.448*(12*3.28)^2 = 220508 N/m^2$ or 220508 Pa or 220.508 kPa

So the maximum safe air pressure of a tire is 220.508 kPa
