At what point on a roller coaster is the kinetic energy increasing?

A 450.0 N, uniform, 1.50 m bar is suspended horizontally by two vertical cables at each end. Cable A can support a maximum tensi

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

1) $W_{object} = 400 N$

2) x = 0.28 m from cable A.

Explanation:

1 ) Let's use the first Newton to find the , because bar is in equilibrium.

$\sum F_{Tot} = 0$

In this case we just have y-direction forces.

$\sum F_{Tot} = T_{A}+T_{B}-W_{bar}-W_{object} = 0$

Now, let's solve the equation for W(object).

$W_{object} = T_{A}+T_{B}-W_{bar} = 550 +300 - 450 = 400 N$

2 ) To find the position of the heaviest weight we need to use the torque definition.

$\sum \tau = 0$

The total torque is evaluated in the axes of the object.

Let's put the heaviest weight in a x distance from the cable A. We will call this point P for instance.

First let's find the positions from each force to the P point.

$L = 1.50 m$ ; total length of the bar.

$D_{AP} = x$ ; distance between Tension A and P point.

$D_{BP} = L-x$ ; distance between Tension B and P point.

$D_{W_{bar}P} = \frac{L}{2}-x$ ; distance between weight of the bar (middle of the bar) and P point.

Now, let's find the total torque in P point, assuming counterclockwise rotation as positive.

$\sum \tau = T_{B}(L-x)-T_{A}(x)-W_{bar}(\frac{L}{2}-x) = 0$

Finally we just need to solve it for x.

$x = \frac{T_{B}L-W_{bar}(L/2)}{T_{B}+W_{bar}+T_{A}}$

$x = 0.28 m$

So the distance is x = 0.28 m from cable A.

Hope it helps!

Have a nice day! :)

Inside a 30.2 cm internal diameter stainless steel pan on a gas stove water is being boiled at 1 atm pressure. If the water leve

dybincka [34]

Answer:

Q = 20.22 x 10³ W = 20.22 KW

Explanation:

First we need to find the volume of water dropped.

Volume = V = πr²h

where,

r = radius of pan = 30.2 cm/2 = 15.1 cm = 0.151 m

h = height drop = 1.45 cm = 0.0145 m

Therefore,

V = π(0.151 m)²(0.0145 m)

V = 1.038 x 10⁻³ m³

Now, we find the mass of the water that is vaporized.

m = ρV

where,

m = mass = ?

ρ = density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Therefore,

m = (1000 kg/m³)(1.038 x 10⁻³ m³)

m = 1.038 kg

Now, we calculate the heat required to vaporize this amount of water.

q = mH

where,

H = Heat of vaporization of water = 22.6 x 10⁵ J/kg

Therefore,

q = (1.038 kg)(22.6 x 10⁵ J/kg)

q = 23.46 x 10⁵ J

Now, for the rate of heat transfer:

Rate of Heat Transfer = Q = q/t

where,

t = time = (18.6 min)(60 s/1 min) = 1116 s

Therefore,

Q = (23.46 x 10⁵ J)/1116 s

Which is an example of current electricity

Reil [10]

Answer:

A or B you choose

Explanation:

This is called current electricity or an electric current. A lightning bolt is one example of an electric current, although it does not last very long. Electric currents are also involved in powering all the electrical appliances that you use, from washing machines to flashlights and from telephones to MP3 players.

what is an electrical current, amp, ampere Current is the flow of electrons. When a circuit is closed then a current of electrons can flow and when a circuit is open then no current can flow. We can measure the flow of electrons just like you can measure the flow of water through a pipe.
