Answer:

The energy becomes 4 times greater.

Explanation:

We know that the energy of a wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude

E ∝ Amplitude^2

Since the original amplitude = 0.5 m

and the new amplitude becomes = 1 m

We are doubling the amplitude. This means that the new energy will be affected by a factor of 4

E_new ∝ (2*Amplitude)^2 =

E_new ∝ 4*(Amplitude)^2

E_new = 4*E

Answer:

Part A:

Distance=864000 m=864 km

Part B:

Energy Used=ΔE=8638000 Joules

Part C:

$\frac{\triangle m}{m}=0.004998=0.49985\%$

Explanation:

Given Data:

v=20m/s

Time =t=12 hours

In Secs:

Time=12*60*60=43200 secs

Solution:

Part A:

Distance = Speed**Time

Distance=v*t

Distance= 20*43200

Distance=864000 m=864 km

Part B:

Energy Used=ΔE= Energy Required-Kinetic Energy of swans

Energy Required to move= Power Required*time

Energy Required to move=200*43200=8640000 Joules

Kinetic Energy= $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K.E\ of\ Swans=\frac{1}{2} *10*(20)^2=2000\ Joules$

Energy Used=ΔE=8640000 -2000

Energy Used=ΔE=8638000 Joules

Part C:

Fraction of Mass used=Δm/m

For This first calculate fraction of energy used:

Fraction of energy=ΔE/Energy required to move

ΔE is calculated in part B

Fraction of energy=8638000/8640000

Fraction of energy=0.99977

Kinetic Energy= $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Now, the relation between energies ratio and masses is:

$\frac{\triangle E}{E}=\frac{\triangle m}{2m}v^2$

$\frac{\triangle m}{m}=\frac{2}{v^2} *\frac{\triangle E}{E}\\\frac{\triangle m}{m}=\frac{2}{20^2} *0.99977$

$\frac{\triangle m}{m}=0.004998=0.49985\%$

The flywheel of a steam engine runs with a constant angular velocity of 140 rev/min. When steam is shut off, the friction of the

ratelena [41]

Answer:

A) α = -1.228 rev/min²

B) 7980 revolutions

C) α_t = -8.57 x 10^(-4) m/s²

D) α = 21.5 m/s²

Explanation:

A) Using first equation of motion, we have;

ω = ω_o + αt

Where,

ω_o is initial angular velocity

α is angular acceleration

t is time the flywheel take to slow down to rest.

We are given, ω_o = 140 rev/min ; t = 1.9 hours = 1.9 x 60 seconds = 114 s ; ω = 0 rev/min

Thus,

0 = 140 + 114α

α = -140/114

α = -1.228 rev/min²

B) the number of revolutions would be given by the equation of motion;

S = (ω_o)t + (1/2)αt²

S = 140(114) - (1/2)(1.228)(114)²

S ≈ 7980 revolutions

C) we want to find tangential component of the velocity with r = 40cm = 0.4m

We will need to convert the angular acceleration to rad/s²

Thus,

α = -1.228 x (2π/60²) = - 0.0021433 rad/s²

Now, formula for tangential acceleration is;

α_t = α x r

α_t = - 0.0021433 x 0.4

α_t = -8.57 x 10^(-4) m/s²

D) we are told that the angular velocity is now 70 rev/min.

Let's convert it to rad/s;

ω = 70 x (2π/60) = 7.33 rad/s

So, radial angular acceleration is;

α_r = ω²r = 7.33² x 0.4

α_r = 21.49 m/s²

Thus, magnitude of total linear acceleration is;

α = √((α_t)² + (α_r)²)

α = √((-8.57 x 10^(-4))² + (21.49)²)

α = √461.82

α = 21.5 m/s²
