5. What is the benefit of using simple computational models in a spreadsheet application, like the one used in this course, to predict mechanical energy and related values?

It is easy to calculate new scenarios.

Answer 2

The predicted speed of roller coaster at the given height is 22.5 m/s. Hence, option (d) is correct.

Given data:

The speed of roller coaster at the lowest point is, v = 30 m/s.

The height of coaster is, h = 20 m.

We need to predict the speed at the given height. So for that purpose, we can use the law of conservation of energy. As per the conservation of energy :

Total energy at height of 20 m = Total energy at bottom

PE + KE = PE' + KE'

Here,

PE and KE are the potential and kinetic energies at respective points.

So,

[tex]mgh + \dfrac{1}{2}mv'^{2}=0 + \dfrac{1}{2}mv'^{2}[/tex]

At bottom, the potential energy is zero.

Solving as,

[tex]gh + \dfrac{1}{2}v'^{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}v^{2}\\\\(9.8 \times 20) + \dfrac{1}{2} \times v'^{2}=\dfrac{1}{2} \times 30^{2}\\\\v' = 22.5 \;\rm m/s[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the predicted speed of roller coaster at the given height is 22.5 m/s. Hence, option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

During take-off a 8kg model rocket, initially at rest, burns fuel for 6.3s causing its speed to increase from rest to 60m/s during this time despite experiencing a 50N drag.

What is the magnitude of the net force on the rocket?
What is the strength of the thrust?
What is the magntiude of the rocket's acceleration?
What is the rocket's height at the instant it runs out of fuel?

Answers

The rocket attains a speed of 60 m/s in a matter of 6.3 s, so it is undergoing an acceleration a of

a = (60 m/s - 0) / (6.3 s) ≈ 9.52 m/s²

During launch, the only forces acting on the rocket are directed vertically:

• its weight (pointing down) with magnitude W,

• drag (pointing down) with magnitude 50 N, and

• thrust (pointing up) with magnitude T.

(a) By Newton's second law, the magnitude of the net force is proportional to the acceleration according to

F = m a

where m is the mass of the rocket, so the magnitude of the net force is

(8 kg) (9.52 m/s²) ≈ 76.2 N

and it is directed upward.

(b) Expanding the equation from part (a) gives

T - W - 50 N = (8 kg) (9.52 m/s²)

The weight is

W = (8 kg) g = (8 kg) (9.80 m/s²) = 78.4 N

so the thrust force is

T ≈ 76.2 N + 78.4 N + 50 N ≈ 205 N

(c) We found this earlier, a9.52 m/s².

(d) The rocket's height y at time t is given by

y = 1/2 a t ²

so that after 6.3 s, it will have reached a height of

y = 1/2 (9.52 m/s²) (6.3 s)² = 189 m

Explanation:

A and B statement is true about the substances in this experiment.

A. Water has a higher surface tension than vegetable oil.

B. Isopropyl alcohol boils more easily than water.

What is substance?

A substance is a specific type of stuff with specific features. A substance is any pure compound or element. Water is a pure material and a hydrogen-oxygen combination.

A. Water has a higher surface tension than vegetable oil.

Reason:

The force operating at a border between two phases is measured as surface tension. Surface tension at liquid-air interfaces is caused by the higher attraction of liquid molecules to each other than air molecules.

Due to the relatively strong attraction of water. Hence molecules of water have high surface tension.

B.. Isopropyl alcohol boils more easily than water.

Reason:

isopropyl alcohol is a highly flammable liquid that evaporates significantly faster than water, especially when heated. The boiling point of isopropyl alcohol is lower than that of water.

Alcohol is more volatile than water. Hence Isopropyl alcohol boils more easily than water.

A car with a mass of 2000 kg travels to the right at a speed of 80 m/s. A truck travels to the left at a speed of 20 m/s and has a mass of 7000 kg. Which one of the two has the greatest momentum?

Cannot tell without the impulse

The truck

Both have the same momentum

The car

Answers

Answer:

The car has the greatest momentum, 160000 [kg*m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must remember that linear momentum is defined as the product of mass by Velocity. In this way we have the following equation

P = m*v

where:

P = lineal momemtum [kg*m/s]

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

Therefore we must calculate the momentum for both the truck and the car.

For the car

Pc = 2000*80

Pc = 160000 [kg*m/s]

For the Truck

Pt = 7000*20

Pt = 140000 [m/s]

The car has the greatest momentum

Why are bananas curved?

Answers

Answer:

Bananas go through a process called ‘negative geotropism’ so they can reach the sun

Through cell division, banana plants produce leaves that develop into a pseudostem and produce fruit. The bud forms in the bottom part of the plant and grows up through the centre of the pseudostem to the top. The arrow-shaped bud pushes through the top of the plant and its weight then causes it to change direction and grow towards the ground.

Bananas go through a unique process known as negative geotropism. Instead of continuing to grow towards the ground, they start to turn towards the sun. The fruit grows against gravity, giving the banana its familiar curved shape.

But why? The answer lies in the botanical history of the banana. It originated in the middle layer of the rainforest, where there is little sunlight. If the fruit were to grow towards the small amount of light that penetrates sideways through the vegetation, the plant could overbalance and topple over.

So bananas developed a way of growing towards the light without destabilising the plant.

The flower grows towards the ground. The flower grows towards the ground.

Answer:

ω = 0.1 rad/s

v = 0.002 m/s

Explanation:

The angular velcoity of the second hand of the clock can be found by:

ω = θ/t

where,

ω = Angular Speed

θ = Angular Displacement

t = time taken

Now, for one complete revolution of second hand of the clock:

θ = 2π rad

t = 60 s

Therefore,

ω = 2π rad/60 s

ω = 0.1 rad/s

Now, for the linear speed (V):

V = rω

where,

V = Linear Speed of Second Hand = ?

r = radius = length of second hand = 0.02 m

Therefore,

V = (0.02 m)(0.1 rad/s)

V = 0.002 m/s

One end of a string is fixed. An object attached to the other end moves on a horizontal plane with uniform circular motion of radius R and frequency f. The tension in the string is Fs . If both the radius and frequency are doubled, the tension is what

Answers

Answer:

If both the radius and frequency are doubled, then the tension is increased 8 times.

Explanation:

The radial acceleration ([tex]a_{r}[/tex]), measured in meters per square second, experimented by the moving end of the string is determined by the following kinematic formula:

[tex]a_{r} = 4\pi^{2}\cdot f^{2}\cdot R[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]f[/tex] - Frequency, measured in hertz.

[tex]R[/tex] - Radius of rotation, measured in meters.

From Second Newton's Law, the centripetal acceleration is due to the existence of tension ([tex]T[/tex]), measured in newtons, through the string, then we derive the following model:

[tex]\Sigma F = T = m\cdot a_{r}[/tex] (2)

Where [tex]m[/tex] is the mass of the object, measured in kilograms.

By applying (1) in (2), we have the following formula:

[tex]T = 4\pi^{2}\cdot m\cdot f^{2}\cdot R[/tex] (3)

From where we conclude that tension is directly proportional to the radius and the square of frequency. Then, if radius and frequency are doubled, then the ratio between tensions is:

[tex]\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = \left(\frac{f_{2}}{f_{1}} \right)^{2}\cdot \left(\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}} \right)[/tex] (4)

[tex]\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = 4\cdot 2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = 8[/tex]

If both the radius and frequency are doubled, then the tension is increased 8 times.

If both the radius and frequency are doubled, then the tension will be increased 8 times.

 

From kinematic formula:

[tex]\bold {a_r = 4\pi r^2 \times f^2 \times R^2}[/tex] .............................. (1)

Where:  

f - Frequency,    

R - Radius of rotation,  

From Second Newton's Law,

[tex]\bold {\sum F = T = m\times a_r }[/tex] ......................... (2)

Where

m is the mass of the object,

From equation 1 and 2,

[tex]\bold {T = m\times 4\pi r^2 \times f^2 \times R^2}\\[/tex] .................... (3)

From equation, tension is directly proportional to the radius and the square of frequency.

Then, if radius and frequency are doubled, then the ratio between tensions is:

[tex]\bold {\dfrac {T_2}{T_1} = (\dfrac {F_2}{F_1})^2 \times \dfrac {R_2}{R_1} = 4 \times 2 = 8 }[/tex]  

   

Therefore, If both the radius and frequency are doubled, then the tension will be increased 8 times.

where:

Vf = final velocity = 37 [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 15 [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s²]
