Answer:

769,048.28Joules

Explanation:

A parachutist of mass 56.0 kg jumps out of a balloon at a height of 1400 m and lands on the ground with a speed of 5.10 m/s. How much energy was lost to air friction during this bump

The energy lost due to friction is expressed using the formula;

Energy lost = Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy

Energy lost = mgh + 1/2mv²

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

v is the speed

Substitute the given values into the formula;

Energy lost = 56(9.8)(1400) + 1/2(56)(5.10)²

Energy lost = 768,320 + 728.28

Energy lost = 769,048.28Joules

<em>Hence the amount of energy that was lost to air friction during this jump is 769,048.28Joules</em>

The parachute on a drag racing car deploys at the end of a run. If the car has a mass of 820 kg and the car is moving 36 m/s, wh

Lelechka [254]

In order to determine the required force to stop the car, proceed as follow:

Calculate the deceleration of the car, by using the following formula:

$v^2=v^2_o-2ax$

where,

v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)

vo: initial speed = 36m/s

x: distance traveled = 980m

a: deceleration of the car= ?

Solve the equation above for a, replace the values of the other parameters and simplify:

$\begin{gathered} a=\frac{v^2_o-v^2}{2x} \\ a=\frac{(36\frac{m}{s})^2-(0\frac{m}{s})^2}{2(980m)}=0.66\frac{m}{s^2} \end{gathered}$

Next, consider that the formula for the force is:

$F=ma$

where,

m: mass of the car = 820 kg

a: deceleration of the car = 0.66m/s^2

Replace the previous values and simplify:

$F=(820kg)(0.66\frac{m}{s^2})=542.20N$

Hence, the required force to stop the car is 542.20N

Determine the magnitude and direction of the force on a 200 m power line carrying a current of 5.0-A due west in a magnetic fiel

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

l = 200 m

i = 5 A west

B = 6 micro Tesla direction 30 degree north of east

angle between length vector and the magnetic field vector = 180 - 30 = 150 degree

Write the length and the magnetic field in the vector form

$\overrightarrow{l}=- 200 \widehat{i}metre$

$\overrightarrow{B}= 6\times 10^{-6}\left ( Cos30\widehat{i}+Sin30\widehat{j} \right )Tesla$

$\overrightarrow{B}=\left ( 5.2\widehat{i}+3\widehat{j} \right )\times 10^{-6}Tesla$

$\overrightarrow{F} = i \overrightarrow{l}\times \overrightarrow{B}$

$\overrightarrow{F} = 5\times \left ( -200\widehat{i} \right )\times \left ( 5.2\widehat{i}+3\widehat{j} \right )\times 10^{-6}$

$\overrightarrow{F} =- 3\times 10^{-3}\widehat{k}Newton$

Thus, the magnitude of force is 3 x 10^-3 newton and it is directed towards negative z axis direction.

When the displacement in SHM is equal to 1/3 of the amplitude xm, what fraction of the total energy is (a) kinetic energy and (b

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Displacement is $\frac{1}{3}$ of Amplitude

i.e. $x=\frac{A}{3}$ , where A is maximum amplitude

Potential Energy is given by

$U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

$U=\frac{1}{2}k(\frac{A}{3})^2$

$U=\frac{1}{18}kA^2$

Total Energy of SHM is given by

$T.E.=\frac{1}{2}kA^2$

Total Energy=kinetic Energy+Potential Energy

$K.E.=\frac{1}{2}kA^2 -\frac{1}{18}kA^2$

$K.E.=\frac{8}{18}kA^2$

Potential Energy is $\frac{1}{8}$ th of Total Energy

Kinetic Energy is $\frac{8}{9}$ of Total Energy

(c)Kinetic Energy is $0.5\times \frac{1}{2}kA^2$

$P.E.=\frac{1}{4}kA^2$

$\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{4}kA^2$

$x=\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}$
