A swift blow with the hand can break a pine board. As the hand hits the board, the kinetic energy of the hand is trans- formed i

nto elastic potential energy of the bending board, if the board bends far enough, it breaks. Applying a force to the center of a particular pine board deflects the center of the board by a distance that increases in proportion to the fore. Ultimately the board breaks at an applied force of 800 N and a deflection of 1.2 cm.
a. To break the board with a blow from the hand, how fast must the hand be moving? Use 0.50 kg for the mass of the hand.
b. If the hand is moving this fast and comes to rest in a dis- tance of 1.2 cm, what is the average force on the hand?

Answer:

a) v = 4.4 m/s

b) F = 400 N

Explanation:

a) ½kx² = ½mv²

v = √(kx²/m)

F = kx

v = √(Fx/m)

v = √(800(0.012) / 0.5) = √19.2 = 4.3817...

b) Fd = ½mv²

F = mv²/2d

F = 0.5(19.2) / (2(0.012) = 400 N

find the potential energy of an aircraft weighing 10000 bs at 5000 ft true altitude and 125 kts true air speed
Cloud [144]

Answer:

U=5*10^7ft.Ib

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Weight  W= 10000bs

Altitude H=5000ft

Speed    V=125kts\\1kts=0.514m/s\\V=125*0.514=>64.25m/s

Generally the equation for Potential energy ids mathematically given as

Potential\ Energy\ U=mgh

U=Wh

U=10000*5000

U=5*10^7ft.Ib

An ice cream truck is going 25m/s to the East. It accelerates to 45m/s in the same direction over 5s. What is its acceleration?
Naya [18.7K]

Hello!

We can use the kinematic equation:
a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

a = acceleration (m/s²)

vf = final velocity (45 m/s)
vi = initial velocity (25 m/s)

t = time (5 sec)

Plug in the givens:
a = \frac{45-25}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = \boxed{4 m/s^2}

Which occupies mrs space, 3m cubed or 100ft cubed
Slav-nsk [51]

The question is somewhat ambiguous.

-- It's hard to tell whether it's asking about  '3 cubic meters'
or  (3m)³ which is actually 27 cubic meters.

-- It's hard to tell whether it's asking about    '100 cubic feet'
or  (100 ft)³ which is actually 1 million cubic feet.

I'm going to make an assumption, and then proceed to
answer the question that I have invented.
I'm going to assume that the question is referring to
'three cubic meters'  and  'one hundred cubic feet' .

OK.  We'll obviously need to convert some units here.
I've decided to convert the meters into feet.

For 1 meter, I always use    3.28084 feet.

Then (1 meter)³ = 1 cubic meter = (3.28084 ft)³ = 35.31 cubic feet.

So 3 cubic meters = (3 x 35.31 cubic feet) =  105.9 cubic feet.

That's more volume than  100 cubic feet.
