Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Each blade resembles a rod with its axis positioned near one end.

The moment of inertia for one blade is:

= 1/3 x m l²

where m stands for the mass of the blade

l represents the length of each blade.

Total moment of inertia for 3 blades is:

= 3 x\frac{1}{3}  x m l²

ml²

2 )

Details provided include:

m = 5500 kg

l = 45 m

Substituting these values produces:

moment of inertia of one blade:

= 1/3 x 5500 x 45 x 45

= 37.125 x 10⁵ kg.m²

Moment of inertia for 3 blades:

= 3 x 37.125 x 10⁵ kg.m²

= 111.375 x 10⁵ kg.m²

c )

Angular momentum

= I x ω

I denotes the moment of inertia of the turbine

ω symbolizes angular velocity

ω = 2π f

f indicates the rotational frequency of the blades

d )

We have I = 111.375 x 10⁵ kg.m² (Calculated)

f = 11 rpm (revolutions per minute)

= 11 / 60 revolutions per second

ω = 2π f

=  2π x  11 / 60 rad / s

Calculating angular momentum yields

= I x ω

111.375 x 10⁵ kg.m² x  2π x  11 / 60 rad / s

= 128.23 x 10⁵  kgm² s⁻¹.

A 50-g cube of ice, initially at 0.0°C, is dropped into 200 g of water in an 80-g aluminum container, both initially at 30°C.
Ostrovityanka [942]

Answer:

b. 9.5°C

Explanation:

m_i = Ice mass = 50 g

T_i = Initial temperature of water and aluminum = 30°C

L_f = Latent heat of fusion = 3.33\times 10^5\ J/kg^{\circ}C

m_w = Water mass = 200 g

c_w = Water's specific heat = 4186 J/kg⋅°C

m_{Al} = Aluminum mass = 80 g

c_{Al} = Aluminum's specific heat = 900 J/kg⋅°C

The equation governing heat exchange in the system is presented by

m_i(L_f+c_wT)+m_wc_w(T-T_i)+m_{Al}c_{Al}=0\\\Rightarrow 0.05\times (3.33\times 10^5+4186\times T)+0.2\times 4186(T-30)+0.08\times 900(T-30)=0\\\Rightarrow 1118.5T-10626=0\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{10626}{1118.5}\\\Rightarrow T=9.50022\ ^{\circ}C

The final equilibrium temperature calculates to 9.50022°C

Derive an algebraic equation for the vertical force that the bench exerts on the book at the lowest point of the circular path i
Keith_Richards [1021]

a)

i) 120 s

ii) 1.57 m/s

b)

i) Refer to the attached diagram

ii) Up

c) N=mg+m\frac{v_b^2}{R}

d) Greater than

Explanation:

The problem does not provide full details: consult the attachments for the complete text.

a)

The revolution period of the book equals the total duration needed for the book to make one full revolution.

By examining the graph, we can approximate the revolution period by calculating the time difference between two successive points of the book's motion that share the same shape.

We could use the time difference between two adjacent crests to estimate the period. The first crest is observed at t = 90 s, and the following crest appears at t = 210 s.

This results in the revolution period being

T = 210 - 90 = 120 s

ii)

The tangential speed of the book is computed as the ratio of the distance traveled over one revolution (i.e., the circumference of the wheel) to the revolution period.

Mathematically:

v_b=\frac{2\pi R}{T}

where

R represents the wheel radius

T = 120 s indicates the period

Based on the graph, the book reaches a maximum at x = +30 m and a minimum at x = -30 m, giving the diameter of the wheel as

d = +30 - (-30) = 60 m

This means the radius calculates to

R = d/2 = 30 m

So, the final speed is

v_b=\frac{2\pi (30)}{120}=1.57 m/s

b)

i) Please consult the attached free-body diagram for the book when at its lowest point.

Two forces act on the book at the lowest position:

- The weight of the book, represented as

W=mg

where m denotes the book's mass and g stands for gravitational acceleration. This force functions downward.

- The normal force the bench exerts on the book is represented by N. This force acts upward.

ii)

While at its lowest position, the book maintains a horizontal motion at constant speed.

Nevertheless, the book is undergoing acceleration. Acceleration is defined as the rate of velocity change, which is vectorial, having both speed and direction. While the speed remains unchanged, the direction changes (upward), indicating the book has upward net acceleration.

According to Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on the book corresponds with the vertical acceleration:

F=ma

where F = net force, m = mass, a = acceleration. Thus, if a is non-zero, the upward net force must exist in line with the direction of the acceleration.

c)

As discussed in part b), there are two forces influencing the book at the lowest point:

- The weight, W=mg, directed downward

- The normal force from the bench, N, directed upward

Given that the book is in uniform circular motion, the net force must match the centripetal force m\frac{v_b^2}{R}, leading us to the equation:

N-mg=m\frac{v_b^2}{R}

where

v_b represents the speed of the book

R stands for the radius of the circular path.

We derive an expression for the normal force:

N=mg+m\frac{v_b^2}{R}

d)

As per the discussions in parts c) and d):

- The normal force acting on the book at its lowest point becomes

N=mg+m\frac{v_b^2}{R}

- The weight (gravitational force) of the book is

W=mg

Upon comparing these two equations, we conclude:

N>W

Thus, it is evident that the normal force exerted by the bench exceeds the weight of the book.

A motorcycle traveling at 36 m/s slams on the brakes to avoid an accident. The motorcycle skids 23m before stoping. What is the
ValentinkaMS [1144]
Since the motorcycle was at a speed of 36 m/s prior to braking, that marks the initial velocity.
u = 36 {ms}^{ - 1}
The motorcycle skidded 23m before coming to a full stop, indicating that
s = 23m
As it has ceased motion, the final velocity is zero.

v = 0{ms}^{ - 1}
We can apply the 'suvat' formula relevant to linear motion.

{v}^{2} = {u}^{2} + 2as
Substituting the aforementioned values allows us to find,

{0}^{2} = {36}^{2} + 2a(23)


0 = 1296+ 46a
46a = - 1296
a = - 28.2 {ms}^{ - 2}


We can apply the formula
v = u + at
to calculate the time required for the motorcycle to stop.

0 = 36 + - 28.2t
- 36 = - 28.2t
t = 1.3s

How many neutrons are contained in 2 kg? Mass of one neutron is 1.67x10-27 kg.
ValentinkaMS [1144]

Answer:

1.2 × 10^27 neutrons

Explanation:

Considering one neutron weighs 1.67 × 10^-27 kg,

the count of neutrons in a 2 kg mass would be computed as:

2 ÷ 1.67 × 10^-27

Hence, there are approximately 1.2 × 10^27 neutrons.

While unrealistic, we will examine the forces on a leg when one falls from a height by approximating the leg as a uniform cylind
Yuliya22 [1153]

Answer:

Part A: 7.75 m/s

Part B: 2330.8 kN

Part C: 24.03 kN

Part D: 4.8 kN

Part E: 1.7\times 10^{9} Dyn/cm^{2}

Part F: Option D

Bending one's legs lengthens the duration of force application from the ground, resulting in a reduction of the applied force.

Explanation:

Part A

Using the fundamental kinematic equations

v^{2}=u^{2}+2gh where v represents the velocity just before ground impact, g denotes gravitational acceleration, u signifies initial velocity, and h is the fall height.

With the initial velocity at zero, thus:

v^{2}=2gh

v=\sqrt 2gh

Plugging in 10 m/s² for g and 3 m for h gives:

v=\sqrt 2\times 10\times 3 =\sqrt 60= 7.745967\approx 7.75 m/s

Part B

The force exercised by the leg can be expressed as

F = PA where P is pressure, F indicates force, and A denotes the cross-sectional area of the bone.

A=\frac {\pi d^{2}}{4}

With a substitution of 2.3 cm or 0.023m for d and 1.7\times10^{8} N/m2 for P, we derive the force as:

F=PA=1.7\times10^{8}*\frac {\pi (0.023)^{2}}{4}= 2330818.276\approx 2330.8 kN

Part C

The fundamental kinematic equations from part (a) can also be rearranged to show:

v^{2}=u^{2}+2a\triangle x and solving for a yields

a=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{2\triangle x} where a is the acceleration and \triangle x signifies the change in length.

Using the previously derived value from part a, 7.75 m/s for v, and 0.01 m for \triangle x gives us:

a=\frac {7.75^{2}-0^{2}}{2\times 0.01}= 3003.125 m/s^{2}

The force felt by the man is given by:

F=ma=80\times 3003.125= 240250 N\approx 24.03 kN

Part D

A similar approach with the fundamental kinematic equations shows:

v^{2}=u^{2}+2a\triangle h and solving for a indicates:

a=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{2\triangle h} where a is the acceleration and \triangle h denotes the change in height.

The force experienced can thus be defined as F=ma=m\times \frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{2\triangle h}.

For substitution, we use m = 80 Kg, and 0.5m for \triangle h along with other values calculated in part c.

F=ma=m\times \frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{2\triangle h}=80\times \frac {7.75^{2}-0^{2}}{2\times 0.5}= 4805 N\approx 4.8 kN

Part E

P=1.7\times 10^{8}=1.7\times 10^{8}\times (\frac {10^{5} Dyn}{10^{4} cm^{2}}=1.7\times 10^{9} Dyn/cm^{2}

Part F

Bending one's legs extends the period over which the force acts, thus lessening the overall force exerted by the ground.
