Answer:

a) Ep = 5886[J]; b) v = 14[m/s]; c) W = 5886[J]; d) F = 1763.4[N]

Explanation:

The potential energy can be found using the following expression, we will take the ground level as the reference point where the potential energy is equal to zero.

$E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\m = mass = 60[kg]\\g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]\\h = elevation = 10 [m]\\E_{p}=60*9.81*10\\E_{p}=5886[J]$

Since energy is conserved, that is, potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, the moment the harpsichord touches water, all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

$E_{p} = E_{k} \\5886 =0.5*m*v^{2} \\v = \sqrt{\frac{5886}{0.5*60} }\\v = 14[m/s]$

The work is equal to

W = 5886 [J]

We need to use the following equation and find the deceleration of the diver at the moment when he stops his velocity is zero.

$v_{f} ^{2}= v_{o} ^{2}-2*a*d\\where:\\d = 2.5[m]\\v_{f}=0\\v_{o} =14[m/s]\\Therefore\\a = \frac{14^{2} }{2*2.5} \\a = 39.2[m/s^2]$

By performing a sum of forces equal to the product of mass by acceleration (newton's second law), we can find the force that acts to reduce the speed of the diver to zero.

m*g - F = m*a

F = m*a - m*g

F = (60*39.2) - (60*9.81)

F = 1763.4 [N]

The block in the diagram below is AT REST. However, the tension in the cable is not the only thing holding the block back. Stati

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The tension in the rope is 229.37 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the block is, $m=33.2\ kg$

Coefficient of static friction is, $\mu = 0.214$

Angle of inclination is, $\theta = 31.5$ °

Draw a free body diagram of the block.

From the free body diagram, consider the forces in the vertical direction perpendicular to inclined plane.

Forces acting are $mg\cos \theta$ and normal $N$ . Now, there is no motion in the direction perpendicular to the inclined plane. So,

$N=mg\cos \theta\\N=(33.2)(9.8)\cos (31.5)\\N=277.415\ N$

Consider the direction along the inclined plane.

The forces acting along the plane are $mg\sin \theta$ and frictional force, $f$ , down the plane and tension, $T$ , up the plane.

Now, as the block is at rest, so net force along the plane is also zero.

$T=mg\sin \theta+f\\T=mg\sin \theta +\mu N\\T= (33.2)(9.8)(\sin (31.5)+(0.214\times 277.415)\\T= 170+59.37\\T=229.37\ N$

Therefore, the tension in the rope is 229.37 N.

A solid steel cylinder is standing (on one of its ends) vertically on the floor. The length of the cylinder is 3.2 m and its rad

maksim [4K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Young's Module and its respective mathematical and modular definitions. In other words, Young's Module can be expressed as

$\Upsilon = \frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L_0}$

Where,

F = Force/Weight

A = Area

$\Delta L$ = Compression

$L_0$ = Original Length

According to the values given we have to

$\Upsilon_{steel} = 200*10^9Pa$

$\Delta L = 5.6*10^{-7}m$

$L_0 = 3.2m$

$r= 0.59m \rightarrow A = \pi r^2 = \pi *0.59^2 = 1.0935m^2$

Replacing this values at our previous equation we have,

$\Upsilon = \frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L_0}$

$200*10^9 = \frac{F/1.0935}{5.6*10^{-7}/3.2}$

$F = 38272.5N$

Therefore the Weight of the object is 3.82kN

An ambulance driving 35.0 m/s emits a sound wave with a wavelength of 80.0 centimeters. As it drives away from a hospital, which

katen-ka-za [31]

Apparent frequency heard by the staff: 389 Hz

Explanation:

The phenomenon described in this situation is called Doppler effect.

Doppler effect occurs when there is a source emitting a wave in relative motion with respect an observer. In such situation, the frequency of the wave as perceived by the observer ("apparent frequency") is shifted from the real frequency of the sound ("proper frequency"). In particular:

- The observer perceives a higher frequency if the source is moving towards them

- The observer perceives a lower frequency if the source is moving away from them

The formula to calculate the apparent frequency in the Doppler effect is

$f'=\frac{v\pm v_o}{v\pm v_s}f$

where

f is the proper frequency

f' is the apparent frequency

v is the speed of the wave

$v_o$ is the velocity of the observer (positive if they are moving towards the source, negative if moving away)

$v_s$ is the velocity of the source (positive if it is moving away, negative if moving towards the observer)

First of all, in this problem we have to calculate the proper frequency of the sound wave emitted from the ambulance; we have:

v = 343 m/s (speed of sound wave)

$\lambda=80 cm = 0.80 m$ (wavelength)

So the proper frequency is

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{343}{0.80}=429 Hz$

Now we can calculate the apparent frequency heard by the staff at the hospital when the ambulance moves away; we have:

$v_s = +35.0 m/s$ (velocity of the ambulance)

$v_o = 0$ (velocity of the staff)

Substituting,

$f'=\frac{343+0}{343+35}(429)=389 Hz$

When a car drives along a "washboard" road, the regular bumps cause the wheels to oscillate on the springs. (What actually oscil

marishachu [46]

Answer:

a) 40,000 N/m

b) f = 6.37 Hz

c) v = 4,8 m/s

Explanation:

part a)

First in order to estimate the spring constant k, we need to know the expression or formula to use in this case:

k = ΔF / Δx

Where:

ΔF: force that the men puts in the car, in this case, the weight.

Δx: the sinking of the car, which is 2 cm or 0.02 m.

With this data, and knowing that there are four mens, replace the data in the above formula:

W = 80 * 10 = 800 N

This is the weight for 1 man, so the 4 men together would be:

W = 800 * 4 = 3200 N

So, replacing this data in the formula:

k = 3200 / 0.02 = 160,000 N/m

This means that one spring will be:

k' = 160,000 / 4 = 40,000 N/m

b) An axle and two wheels has a mass of 50 kg, so we can assume they have a parallel connection to the car. If this is true, then:

k^n = 2k

To get the frequency, we need to know the angular speed of the car with the following expression:

wo = √k^n / M

M: mass of the wheel and axle, which is 50 kg

k = 40,000 N/m

Replacing the data:

wo = √2 * 40,000 / 50 = 40 rad/s

And the frequency:

f = wo/2π

f = 40 / 2π = 6.37 Hz

c) finally for the speed, we have the time and the distance, so:

V = x * t

The only way to hit bumps at this frequency, is covering the gaps of bumping, about 6 times per second so:

x: distance of 80 cm or 0.8 m

V = 0.8 * 6 =

V = 4.8 m/s

Two billiard balls of equal mass are traveling straight toward each other with the same speed. They meet head-on in an elastic c

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

0 kg m/s before and after collision

Explanation:

Let m, v be the mass and speed of the 2 balls, respectively, before the collision. Since they have the same mass and same speed but in opposite direction, the total momentum of the system would be:

P = mv - mv = 0 kg m/s

As the collision is elastic. The total momentum after the collision is the same as the total momentum before the collision, which is 0.
