This may shock you:

We NEVER feel speed, velocity, or motion, as long as it's constant.

We only feel CHANGES in speed, velocity, or motion.

That means speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.

As long as we're moving in a straight line at a constant speed, we don't feel anything.

A loaded ore car has a mass of 950 kg and rolls on rails with negligible friction. It starts from rest and is pulled up a mine s

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

a). P=11.04kW

b). Pmax=11.38 kW

c). Wt=6423.166kJ

Explanation:

The power of the motor when the speed is constant is the work in a determinate time.

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

The work is the force the is applicated in a distance so

W=F*d

replacing:

$P=F*\frac{d}{t}$ and $\frac{d}{t}$ determinate distance in time is velocity so

a).

$P=F*v$

$F=m*a\\F=m*g*sin(33.5)$

$P=950kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*sin(33.5)*2.15\frac{m}{s}\\P=11047.846 W\\P=11.0478 kW$

b).

The maximum power must the motor provide, is the maximum force with the maximum speed of the motor in this case

The first step is find the acceleration so

$vi=0\frac{m}{s} \\vf=2.15 \frac{m}{s}\\vf=vi+a*t\\vf-vi=a*t\\ a=\frac{vf-vi}{t}= a=\frac{2.15\frac{m}{s}-0\frac{m}{s}}{13s}\\a=0.1653 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The maximum force is when the car is accelerating so

$Ft=Fa+Fg\\Ft=m*a+m*g*sin(33.5)\\Ft=950kg*0.1653\frac{m}{s^{2}}+950*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*sin(33.5)\\Ft=5295.565 N$

so the maximum force is the maximum force by the maximum speed

$Pmax=Ft*v\\Pmax=5295.565N*2.15\frac{m}{s}\\Pmax=11385.46\\Pmax=11.3854kW$

c).

The total energy transfer without any friction is the weight move in the high axis y in this case, so is easy to know that distance

W=m*g*h

h=Length*sin(33.5)

W=m*g*Length*sin(33.5)

W=950 kg*9.8* 1250m*sin(33.5)

W=6423166.667 kJ

W=6423.166 kJ

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The minimum total speed is 11.2km/s

Explanation:

We are been asked to find the escape velocity.

Escape velocity is defined as the minimum initial velocity that will take a body(projectile)away above the surface of a planet(earth) when it's projected vertically upwards.

The formula to calculate the escape velocity is Ve = √2gR

For the earth g = 9.8m/s2 , R = 6.4*10^6

Substituting into the equation Ve = √2*9.8*6.4*10^6 = 11.2*10^3m/s

=11.2km/s
