Answer:

<em>W = 15,000 Joule</em>

Explanation:

<u>Mechanical Work </u>

Mechanical work is the amount of energy transferred by a force. It's a scalar quantity, with SI units of joules.

If both the force and displacement are parallel, then we can use the scalar formula:

W=F.s

Where

F =Magnitude of the force

s = magnitude of the displacement

The tornado moved a trailer with a force of F=600 N for a distance of s=25 m. The work done was:

W = 600 N * 25 m

W = 15,000 Joule

Suppose you are in an elevator. As the elevator starts upward, its speed will increase. During this time when the elevator is mo

kkurt [141]

Answer:increased

Explanation:

It is given that elevator speed is increasing while moving upward i.e.its acceleration is increasing .

This causes the apparent to be increased if measured using weighing machine.

considering upward direction to be positive

N-mg=ma

N=m(g+a)

where N=Normal reaction=Apparent weight

a=acceleration of Elevator

thus you feel as if your weight is increased.

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{30 rev/s}}$

Explanation:

This question is based on the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum.

Angular momentum (L) equals the moment of inertia (I) times the angular speed (ω).

L = Iω

If momentum is conserved,

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

Data:

I₁ = 3.5 kg·m²s⁻¹

ω₁ = 6.0 rev·s⁻¹

I₂ = 0.70 kg·m²s⁻¹

Calculation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}I_{1}\omega_{1} &= &I_{2}\omega_{2}\\\text{3.5 kg$\cdot$m$^{2}$}\times \text{6.0 rev/s} &= &\text{0.70 kg$\cdot$m$^{2}$}\times\omega_{2}\\\text{21 rev/s} &= &0.70\omega_{2}\\\omega_{2} & = & \dfrac{\text{21 rev/s}}{0.70}\\\\&=&\textbf{30 rev/s}\\\end{array}\\\text{The skater's final rotational speed is $\large \boxed{\textbf{30 rev/s}}$}$

Ratling [72]

Answer:

The magnitude of angular acceleration is $232.38\ rad/s^2$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial angular velocity, $\omega_i=3500\ rev/min=366.5\ rad/s$

When it switched off, it comes o rest, $\omega_f=0$

Number of revolution, $\theta=46=289.02\ rad$

We need to find the magnitude of angular acceleration. It can be calculated using third equation of rotational kinematics as :

$\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2=2\alpha \theta\\\\\alpha =\dfrac{-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}\\\\\alpha =\dfrac{-(366.51)^2}{2\times 289.02}\\\\\alpha =-232.38\ rad/s^2$

So, the magnitude of angular acceleration is $232.38\ rad/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
