6. What is the GPE of a 500g box of chocolates 2 m above the ground?

1 answer:

GPE = mgh
m = mass=500g = 0.5kg
h= height = 2m
g = gravitational field strength, 9.8 near surface of earth
therefore GPE = 0.5*9.8*2 ( 0.5*2=1 so they cancel out), GPE = 9.8J

To develop muscle tone, a woman lifts a 2.50 kg weight held in her hand. She uses her biceps muscle to flex the lower arm throug

Romashka [77]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to Torque as a function of the Force in proportion to the radius to which it is applied. In turn, we will use the concepts of energy expressed as Work, and which is described as the Torque's rate of change in proportion to angular displacement:

$\tau = Fr$

Where,

F = Force

r = Radius

Replacing we have that,

$\tau = Fr$

$\tau = 21cm (\frac{1m}{100cm})* 550N$

$\tau = 11.55Nm$

The moment of inertia is given by 2.5kg of the weight in hand by the distance squared to the joint of the body of 24 cm, therefore

$I = 0.25Kg\cdot m^2 +(2.5kg)(0.24m)^2$

$I = 0.394kg\cdot m^2$

Finally, angular acceleration is a result of the expression of torque by inertia, therefore

$\tau = I\alpha \rightarrow \alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}$

$\alpha = \frac{11.55}{0.394}$

$\alpha = 29.3 rad/s^2$

PART B)

The work done is equivalent to the torque applied by the distance traveled by 60 °° in radians $(\pi / 3)$ , therefore

$W = \tau \theta$

$W = 11.5* \frac{\pi}{3}$

$W = 12.09J$

A feather is dropped onto the surface of the moon. How far will the feather have fallen if it reaches the surface in 9.00 second

Natali5045456 [20]

The feather's vertical position $y$ is determined by

$y=\dfrac12g_{\text{moon}}t^2$

We take the feather's starting position to be the origin, and the downward direction to be positive. Then

$y=\dfrac12\left(1.63\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(9.00\,\mathrm s\right)^2=66.0\,\mathrm m$

so the answer is D.

A jet plane is launched from a catapult on an aircraft carrier. In 2.0 s it reaches a speed of 42 m/s at the end of the catapult

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

time taken $t=2\ s$

Speed acquired in 2 sec $v=42\ m/s$

Here initial velocity is zero $u=0$

acceleration is the rate of change of velocity in a given time

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\frac{42-0}{2}=21\ m/s^2$

Distance travel in this time

$s=ut+0.5at^2$

where

s=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

$s=0+\0.5\times 21\times (2)^2$

$s=42\ m$

so Jet Plane travels a distance of 42 m in 2 s
