Define what is energy and work

Mashutka [201]

The work-energy principle states that an increase in the kinetic energy of a rigid body is caused by an equal amount of positive work done on the body by the resultant force acting on that body. Conversely, a decrease in kinetic energy is caused by an equal amount of negative work done by the resultant force.

Two ships of equal mass are 110 m apart. What is the acceleration of either ship due to the gravitational attraction of the othe

dusya [7]

Answer:

Acceleration of the ship, $a=2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of both ships, $m=39000\ metric\ tons=39\times 10^6\ kg$

Distance between two ships, d = 110 m

The gravitational force between two ships is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{m^2}{d^2}$

$F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times \dfrac{(39\times 10^6\ kg)^2}{(110\ m)^2}$

F = 8.38 N

Let a is the acceleration. Now, using second law of motion as :

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{8.38\ N}{39\times 10^6\ kg}$

$a=2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of either ship due to the gravitational attraction of the other is $2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A high-speed flywheel in a motor is spinning at 450 rpm when a power failure suddenly occurs. The flywheel has mass 40.0 kg and

alexira [117]

Answer:

A) $\omega_f=17.503\ rad.s^{-1}$

B) $t=55.6822\ s$

C) $\theta=1312\ rad$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of flywheel, $m=40\ kg$

diameter of flywheel, $d=0.72\ m$

rotational speed of flywheel, $N_i=450\ rpm \Rightarrow \omega_i=\frac{450\times 2\pi}{60} =15\pi\ rad.s^{-1}$

duration for which the power is off, $t_0=35\ s$

no. of revolutions made during the power is off, $\theta=180\times 2\pi=360\pi\ rad$

<u>Using equation of motion:</u>

$\theta=\omega_i.t+\frac{1}{2} \alpha.t^2$

$360\pi=15\pi\times 35+\frac{1}{2} \times \alpha\times35^2$

$\alpha=-0.8463\ rad.s^{-2}$

Negative sign denotes deceleration.

A)

Now using the equation:

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha.t$

$\omega_f=15\pi-0.8463\times 35$

$\omega_f=17.503\ rad.s^{-1}$ is the angular velocity of the flywheel when the power comes back.

B)

Here:

$\omega_f=0\ rad.s^{-1}$

Now using the equation:

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha.t$

$0=15\pi-0.8463\times t$

$t=55.6822\ s$ is the time after which the flywheel stops.

C)

Using the equation of motion:

$\theta=\omega_i.t+\frac{1}{2} \alpha.t^2$

$\theta=15\pi\times 55.68225-0.5\times 0.8463\times 55.68225^2$

$\theta=1312\ rad$ revolutions are made before stopping.
