Hi! Let's see.

<h3><u>TOPIC: Kinetic Energy.</u></h3>

Explanation:

Data:

Mass(m) = 2.1 kilograms
Speed(v) = 30 m/s
Kinetic Energy(Ek) = ?

==================================================================

Use the kinetic energy formula:

$\boxed{\boxed{\bold{E_{k}=\frac{m*(v)^{2}}{2}}}}$

Replace by the data:

$\boxed{E_{k}=\frac{2.1kg*(30\frac{m}{s})^{2}}{2}}}}}$

We multiply speed squared:

$\boxed{E_{k}=\frac{2.1kg*900\frac{m}{s}}{2}}}$

Multiply in the numerator, without forgetting the units:

$\boxed{E_{k}=\frac{1890J}{2}}}}$

Both numerator and denominador operations are divided:

$\boxed{\bold{E_{k}=945\ J}}$

Answer: The kinetic energy is <u>945 Joules.</u>

A gun is fired with angle of elevation 30°. What is the muzzle speed if the maximum height of the shell is 544 m? (Round your an

Artemon [7]

Answer:

206.62313 m/s

Explanation:

u = Muzzle speed

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

$\theta$ = Angle at which the bullet is fired = 30°

h = Maximum height = 544 m

Maximum height is given by

$h=\dfrac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{\dfrac{2gh}{sin^2\theta}}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 9.81\times 544}{sin^2(30)}}\\\Rightarrow u=206.62313\ m/s$

The muzzle speed is 206.62313 m/s

A 35 kg trunk is pushed 4.8 m at constant speed up a 30° incline by a constant horizontal force. The coefficient of kinetic fric

netineya [11]

Answer:

We need to separate the x- and y-components of the applied force. For simplicity, I will denote the direction along the inclined plane as x-direction, and the perpendicular direction as y-direction.

$F_x = F\cos(30^\circ)\\F_y = F\sin(30^\circ)$

Only the x-component of the applied horizontal force does work on the trunk.

But we need to find the magnitude of the force. We know that the trunk is moving with constant speed. So, the x-component of the applied force is equal to the x-component of the gravitational force plus the force of friction.

$0 = F\cos(30^\circ) - mg\sin(30^\circ) - mg\cos(30^\circ)\mu\\0.86F = 35(9.8)(0.5) + 35(9.8)(0.86)(0.19)\\F =264.5N$

$F_x = 264.5\cos(30^\circ) = 227.5N\\F_y = 264.5\sin(30^\circ) = 132.25N$

$W_{F_x} = F_xd = 227.5\times 4.8 = 1092J$

The work done by the weight of the trunk can be calculated similarly. Only the x-component of the weight does work on the trunk.

$W_g = -mg\sin(30^\circ)d$

Note that the direction of the weight force is opposite of the direction of the motion, so this force does negative work on the trunk.

$W_g = -823J$

The energy dissipated by the frictional force can be found as follows:

$W_f = -mg\cos(30^\circ)\mu d = -35(9.8)(0.86)(0.19)(4.8) = -269J$

Additionally, the sum of work done by the friction and weight is equal in magnitude to the work done by the applied force. This shows that our calculations are consistent.

In the second part of the question, the applied force is on the x-direction. We will follow a similar procedure but a different force.

$0 = F - mg\sin(30^\circ) - mg\cos(30^\circ)\mu\\0 = F - 35(9.8)(0.5) - 35(9.8)(0.86)(0.19)\\0 = F - 171.5 - 56\\F = 227.5N$

$W_F = Fd = 227.5\times 4.8 = 1092J$

$W_g = -mg\sin(30^\circ)d = -35(9.8)(0.5)(4.8) = -823J$

$W_f = -mg\cos(30^\circ)\mu d = -35(9.8)(0.86)(0.19)(4.8) = -269J$

Explanation:

As you can see above, the answers are the same, although the directions of the applied forces are different. The reason for this situation is that in the first part the y-component does no work.

Cells.

When you have a group of similar cells, you make tissues. This is like having many specialized muscle cells grouping together to make a muscle tissue that can then make something like a bicep. <span />
