A 2 kg object released from rest at the top of a tall cliff reaches a terminal speed of 37.5 m/s after it has fallen a height of

110 m . How much kinetic energy approximately did the air molecules gain from the falling object after it has fallen through this height?

Answer:

3562.25 J

Explanation:

m = mass of the object = 2 kg

v = speed of the object after falling through height of 110 m , = 37.5 m/s

h = height through which the object fall = 110 m

KE = Kinetic energy gained by air molecules

Kinetic energy gained by air molecules is given as

KE = (0.5) m v² + mgh

KE = (0.5) (2) (37.5)² + (2) (9.8) (110)

KE = 3562.25 J

aniked [119]

Answer:

a. N = 2.49W b.  0.40

Explanation:

a. What is the magnitude of the normal force FNFN between a rider and the wall, expressed in terms of the rider's weight W?

Since the normal force equals the centripetal force on the rider, N = mrω² where r = radius of cylinder = 3.05 m and ω = angular speed of cylinder = 0.450 rotations/s = 0.450 × 2π rad/s = 2.83 rad/s

Now N = mrω² = m(3.05 m) × (2.83 rad/s)² = 24.43m

The rider's weight W = mg = 9.8m

The ratio of the normal force to the rider's weight is

N/W = 24.43m/9.8m = 2.49

So the normal force expressed in term's of the rider's weight is

N = 2.49W

b. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction µsμs required between the rider and the wall in order for the rider to be held in place without sliding down?

The frictional force, F on the rider by the wall of the cylinder equals the weight, W of the rider. F = W.

Since the frictional force F = μN, where μ = coefficient of static friction between rider and wall of cylinder and N = normal force between rider and wall of cylinder.

So, the normal force equals

N = F/μ = W/μ = mg/μ = mrω²

μ  = mg/mrω²

= W/N

= 9.8m/24.43m

= 0.40

The suspension cable of a 1,000 kg elevator snaps, sending the elevator moving downward through its shaft. The emergency brakes
tester [92]

Answer:

option (E) 1,000,000 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the suspension cable, m = 1,000 kg

Distance, h = 100 m

Now,

from the work energy theorem

Work done by the gravity = Work done by brake

or

mgh = Work done by brake

where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity = 10 m/s²

or

Work done by brake  = 1000 × 10 × 100

or

Work done by brake = 1,000,000 J

this work done is the release of heat in the brakes

Hence, the correct answer is option (E) 1,000,000 J

Moving water, like that of a river, carries sediment as it moves along its bed. The faster the water flows, the more sediment th
katovenus [111]

Correct option: A

An object remains at rest until a force acts on it.

As the water moves faster, it applies greater force on the sediment, which over comes the frictional forces between the bed and the sediment. So, when the river flows faster, more and larger sediment particles are carried away. When the flow slows down, the river couldn't apply enough force on the larger sediments which can overcome the frictional force between the sediment and the river bed. So, the net force on the heavier particles become zero. Hence, the heavier particles of the load will settle out.
