What is the difference between elastic PE and gravitational PE?

2 answers:

7 0

Elastic potential energy is kind of like pulling on something and then letting it go, with rubber bands, or a bow, or a slingshot, something with elastic properties.
Gravitational potential energy has to do with how high something is, and has to do with earth’s gravitational pull.

A 23 g bullet traveling at 230 m/s penetrates a 2.0 kg block of wood and emerges cleanly at 170 m/s. If the block is stationary

Ann [662]

The distance traveled by the wood after the bullet emerges is 0.16 m.

The given parameters;

mass of the bullet, m = 23 g = 0.023 g
speed of the bullet, u = 230 m/s
mass of the wood, m = 2 kg
final speed of the bullet, v = 170 m/s
coefficient of friction, μ = 0.15

The final velocity of the wood after the bullet hits is calculated as follows;

$m_1u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2\\\\0.023(230) + 2(0) = 0.023(170) + 2v_2\\\\5.29 = 3.91 + 2v_2\\\\2v_2 = 1.38\\\\v_2 = \frac{1.38}{2} = 0.69 \ m/s$

The acceleration of the wood is calculated as follows;

$\mu = \frac{a}{g} \\\\a = \mu g\\\\a = 0.15 \times 9.8\\\\a = 1.47 \ m/s^2$

The distance traveled by the wood after the bullet emerges is calculated as follows;

$v^2 = v_0^2 + 2as\\\\v^2 = 0 + 2as\\\\v^2 = 2as\\\\s = \frac{v^2}{2a} \\\\s = \frac{(0.69)^2}{2(1.47)} \\\\s = 0.16 \ m$

Thus, the distance traveled by the wood after the bullet emerges is 0.16 m.

How does friction affect the kinetic energy of an object?

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: Friction also prevents an object from starting to move, such as a shoe placed on a ramp. When friction acts between two surfaces that are moving over each other, some kinetic energy is transformed into heat energy. Friction can sometimes be useful.

Mary takes 6.0 seconds to run up a flight of stairs that is 102 meters long. If Mary's weight is 87 newtons, what power has Mary

fredd [130]

Answer: 1479watts

Explanation:

Power is defined as the energy expended or work done in a specific time.

Mathematically,

Power = Workdone/time taken

Since work done is force × distance

Power = force × distance/time

Force = Mary's weight = 87N

Distance = height of the flight = 102meters

Time = 6.0seconds

Substituting in the formula we have;

Power = 87 × 102/6

Power = 1,479watts

Note that the time must be in seconds before usage. If its given in minutes, you will have to convert to seconds

A stuntwoman is going to attempt a jump across a canyon that is 77 m wide. The ramp on the far side of the canyon is 25 m lower

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

She will make the jump.

Explanation:

We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

First we will consider horizontal motion of stunt women

Displacement = 77 m, Initial velocity = 28 cos 15 = 27.05 m/s, acceleration = 0

Substituting

$77= 27.05t+\frac{1}{2} *0*t^2\\ \\ t=77/27.05=2.85 seconds$

So she will cover 77 m in 2.85 seconds

Now considering vertical motion, up direction as positive

Initial velocity = 28 sin 15 = 7.25 m/s, acceleration =acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 $m/s^2$ , time = 2.85

Substituting

$s=7.25*2.85-\frac{1}{2}*9.8*2.85^2=20.69-39.80 =-10.11 m$

So at time 2.85 stunt women is 10.11 m below from starting position, far side is 25 m lower. So she will be at higher position.

So she will make the jump.
