potential energy gain = work done by alexander

PE=mass*gravity * height

PE=70kg*9.81*5=3433.5

take g=9.81

answer =3433.5

A ball filled with an unknown material starts from rest at the top of a 2 m high incline that makes a 28o with respect to the ho
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

<u>Searching in google I found the total mass and the radius of the ball (m = 1.5 kg and r = 10 cm) which are needed to solve the problem!</u>  

The ball rotates 6.78 revolutions.

     

Explanation:

<u>Searching in google I found the total mass and the radius of the ball (m = 1.5 kg and r = 10 cm) which are needed to solve the problem!</u>        

At the bottom the ball has the following angular speed:

\omega_{f} = \frac{v_{f}}{r} = \frac{4.9 m/s}{0.10 m} = 49 rad/s

Now, we need to find the distance traveled by the ball (L) by using θ=28° and h(height) = 2 m:

sin(\theta) = \frac{h}{L} \rightarrow L = \frac{h}{sin(\theta)} = \frac{2 m}{sin(28)} = 4.26 m

To find the revolutions we need the time, which can be found using the following equation:                

v_{f} = v_{0} + at  

t = \frac{v_{f} - v_{0}}{a} (1)

So first, we need to find the acceleration:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2aL \rightarrow a = \frac{v_{f}^{2} - v_{0}^{2}}{2L}    (2)  

By entering equation (2) into (1) we have:

t = \frac{v_{f} - v_{0}}{\frac{v_{f}^{2} - v_{0}^{2}}{2L}}

Since it starts from rest (v₀ = 0):  

t = \frac{2L}{v_{f}} = \frac{2*4.26 m}{4.9 m/s} = 1.74 s

Finally, we can find the revolutions:  

\theta_{f} = \frac{1}{2} \omega_{f}*t = \frac{1}{2}*49 rad/s*1.74 s = 42.63 rad*\frac{1 rev}{2\pi rad} = 6.78 rev

Therefore, the ball rotates 6.78 revolutions.

I hope it helps you!

Dear Amrish

I have come to know that since your school has closed for the Autumn Break you have plenty of free time at your disposal at the moment. I would like to tell you that even I am having holidays now.

It has been a long time since we have spent some time together. If you are free, I would welcome to have your company this weekend. Why don’t you come over to my house and spend a day or so with me?

I am anxiously waiting for your reply.

Yours affectionately

your name

What is the length a rubberband was stretched if it has a spring constant of 5700N/m and is currently holding 8600J OF POTENTIAL
lozanna [386]

Answer:

\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m

Explanation:

<u>Elastic Potential Energy </u>

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2

Given a rubber band of a spring constant of k=5700 N/m that is holding potential energy of PE=8600 J, it's required to find the change of length under these conditions.

Solving for Δx:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\swrt{\frac{2PE}{k}}

Substituting:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{\frac{2*8600}{5700}}

Calculating:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{3.0175}

\boxed{\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m}
