Answer:

Gravitational potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

Kinetic energy (of a moving object) = (1/2) (mass) x (speed)²

When the pendulum is at the top of its swing, its potential energy is

(mass) x (gravity) x (height)

= (5 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (0.36 m)

= (5 x 9.8 x 0.36) joules

17.64 joules .

Energy is conserved ... it doesn't appear or disappear ... so that number is exactly the kinetic energy the pendulum has at the bottom of the swing, only now, it's kinetic energy:

17.64 joules = (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²

17.64 joules = (1/2) x (5 kg) x (speed)²

Divide each side by 2.5 kg:

17.64 joules / 2.5 kg = speed²

Write out the units of joules:

17.64 kg-m²/s² / 2.5 kg = speed²

(17.64 / 2.5) (m²/s²) = speed²

7.056 m²/s² = speed²

Take the square root of each side: Speed = √(7.056 m²/s²) = 2.656 m/s.

Looking through the choices, we're overjoyed to see that one if them is ' 2.7 m/s '. Surely that's IT !

Hope this will help you ...

The engine in an imaginary sports car can provide constant power to the wheels over a range of speeds from 0 to 70 miles per hou

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

a) 4.40 s

b) 2.20 s

Explanation:

Given parameters are:

At constant power ,

initial speed of the car, $v_0=0$

final speed of the car, $v=32$ mph

At full power,

initial speed of the car, $v_0=0$

final speed of the car, $v=64$ mph

a)

At constant power, $KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

At full power, $KE = \frac{1}{2} m(2v)^2$

So $KE_f = 4KE_i$

So, time to reach 64 mph speed is 4 times more than the initial time

$t = 4*1.10 =4.40$ s

b)

$v=v_0+at\\a=\frac{v-v_0}{t}=\frac{32-0}{1.1/3600}=104727.27$ $miles/hours^2$

For final 64 mph speed,

$v=v_0+at\\t=\frac{v-v_0}{a}=\frac{64-0}{104727.27} = 6.111*10^{-4}$ $hours$ = $6.111*10^{-4}*3600=2.20$ s

A simple hydraulic lift is made by fitting a piston attached to a handle into a 3.0-cm diameter cylinder. The cylinder is connec

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Approximately $3.1 \times 10^4 \; \rm N$ (assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is $g = 9.81\; \rm kg \cdot N^{-1}$ .)

Explanation:

Let $A_1$ denote the first piston's contact area with the fluid. Let $A_2$ denote the second piston's contact area with the fluid.

Similarly, let $F_1$ and $F_2$ denote the size of the force on the two pistons. Since the person is placing all her weight on the first piston:

$F_1 = W = m \cdot g = 50\; \rm kg \times 9.81 \; \rm kg \cdot N^{-1} =495\; \rm N$ .

Since both pistons fit into cylinders, the two contact surfaces must be circles. Keep in mind that the area of a square is equal to $\pi$ times its radius, squared:

$\displaystyle A_1 = \pi \times \left(\frac{1}{2} \times 3.0\right)^2 = 2.25\, \pi\;\rm cm^{2}$ .
$\displaystyle A_2 = \pi \times \left(\frac{1}{2} \times 24\right)^2 = 144\, \pi\;\rm cm^{2}$ .

By Pascal's Law, the pressure on the two pistons should be the same. Pressure is the size of normal force per unit area:

$\displaystyle P = \frac{F}{A}$ .

For the pressures on the two pistons to match:

$\displaystyle \frac{F_1}{A_1} = \frac{F_2}{A_2}$ .

$F_1$ , $A_1$ , and $A_2$ have all been found. The question is asking for $F_2$ . Rearrange this equation to obtain:

$\displaystyle F_2 = \frac{F_1}{A_1} \cdot A_2 = F_1 \cdot \frac{A_2}{A_1}$ .

Evaluate this expression to obtain the value of $F_2$ , which represents the force on the piston with the larger diameter:

$\begin{aligned}F_2 &= F_1 \cdot \frac{A_2}{A_1} \\ &= 495\; \rm N \times \frac{2.25\, \pi\; \rm cm^2}{144\, \pi \; \rm cm^2} \approx 3.1 \times 10^4\; \rm N\end{aligned}$ .
