T=2,5s
a=g≈10m/s²

h=s=?

$s= \frac{1}{2} at^2 \Leftrightarrow h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}*10m/s^2 *(2,5s)^2=5m/s^2* \frac{25}{4} s^2=\boxed{31,25m}$

A bike rider approaches a hill with a speed of 8.5 m/s. The total mass of the bike rider is 91kg. What is the kinetic energy of

Anestetic [448]

a) The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is expressed as the product of half of the mass (m) of the object and the square of its velocity (v²):

$KE = \frac{1}{2}m* v^{2}$

It is given:

v = 8.5 m/s

m = 91 kg

So:

$KE= \frac{1}{2}*91*8.5^{2} =3,287.4J$

b) We can calculate height by using the formula for potential energy (PE):
PE = m*g*h

In this case, h is eight, and PE is the same as KE:
PE = KE = 3,287.4 J

m = 91 kg

g = 9.81 m/s² - gravitational acceleration

h = ? - height

Now, let's replace those:

3,287.4= 91 * 9.81 * h

⇒ h = 3,287.4/(91*9.81) = 3,287.4/892.7 = 3.7 m

The flywheel of an engine has moment of inertia 2.50 kg m2 about its rotation axis. What constant torque is required to bring it

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The moment of inertia is $I = 2.50 \ kg \cdot m^2$

The final angular speed is $w_f = 400 rev/min = \frac{400 * 2\pi}{60} = 41.89 \ rad/s$

The time taken is $t = 8.0 s$

The initial angular speed is $w_i = 0\ rad/s$

Generally the average angular acceleration is mathematically represented as

$\alpha = \frac{w_f - w_i }{t}$

=> $\alpha = \frac{41.89}{8}$

=> $\alpha = 5.24 \ rad/s^2$

Generally the torque is mathematically represented as

$\tau = I * \alpha$

=> $\tau = 5.24 * 2.50$

=> $\tau = 13.09 \ N \cdot m$

A box of unknown mass is sliding with an initial speed vi = 4.70 m/s across a horizontal frictionless warehouse floor when it en

malfutka [58]

Here Change in Kinetic Energy = Work Done by Friction

Therefore, substituting the given values to the equation, we get

0.5 * m * (vFinal^2 - vInitial^2) = µ m g * d

Therefore

0.5*( 5.90^2 - Vfinal^2 ) = 0.100*9.8*2.10

Therefore

vfinal = 5.54 m/sec

You plan to take a trip to the moon. Since you do not have a traditional spaceship with rockets, you will need to leave the eart

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

$v = 3.5 \times 10^5 m/s$

Explanation:

At some distance from the Earth the force of attraction due to moon is balanced by the force due to Moon

so we will have

$\frac{GM_em}{r^2} = \frac{GM_m}{(d-r)^2}$

now we have

$\frac{d - r}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{M_m}{M_e}}$

$\frac{3.844\times 10^8 - r}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{7.36 \times 10^{22}}{5.9742\times 10^{24}}}$

so we will have

$r = 3.46 \times 10^8 m$

Now by energy conservation

$-\frac{GM_e}{R_e} - \frac{GM_m}{d - (R_e + R_m)} + \frac{1}{2}v^2 = -\frac{GM_e}{r} - \frac{GM_m}{d - r}$

$-6.26 \times 10^{8} - 13046 + \frac{1}{2}v^2 = -1.15 \times 10^6 - 1.28 \times 10^5$

$v = 3.5 \times 10^5 m/s$
