Answer:
a. 120 W
b. 28.8 N
Explanation:
To a good approximate, the only external force that does work on a cyclist moving on level ground is the force of air resistance. Suppose a cyclist is traveling at 15 km/h on level ground. Assume he is using 480 W of metabolic power.
a. Estimate the amount of power he uses for forward motion.
b. How much force must he exert to overcome the force of air resistance?
(a)
He is 25% efficient, therefore the cyclist will be expending 25% of his power to drive the bicycle forward
Power = efficiency X metabolic power
= 0.25 X 480
= 120 W
(b)
power if force times the velocity
P = Fv
convert 15 km/h to m/s
v = 15 kmph = 4.166 m/s
F = P/v
= 120/4.166
= 28.8 N
definition of terms
power is the rate at which work is done
force is that which changes a body's state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line
velocity is the change in displacement per unit time.
Answer:
A morse code alphabet decoder maybe?? I am confused
Explanation:
B. <span>10,824 feet
is the right answer
tan 26 = 6000/x
x = 10824 ft</span>
The kinetic energy of the object is 392 Joules.
Answer:
The object is sitting
Explanation:
Therefore the object cannot be in current motion as no force has been acted upon it (exept gravitational force)
