A ski lift has a one-way length of 1 km and a vertical rise of 200 m. The chairs are spaced 20 m apart, and each chair can seat

three people. The lift is operating a a steady speed of 10 km/h. Neglecting friction and air drag and assuming the average mass of each loaded chair is 250 kg, determine the power required to operate this ski lift. Also estimate the power required to accelerate this ski lift in 5 s to its operating speed when it is first turned on. (steady power = 68.1 kW; start-up = 43.7 kW)

To determine the height of a flagpole, Abby throws a ball straight up and times it. She sees that the ball goes by the top of th

Softa [3030]

Answer:

$H = 10.05 m$

Explanation:

The stone reaches the top of the flagpole at both t = 0.5 s and t = 4.1 s

therefore, the total duration of the upwards motion above the peak of the pole is provided as

$\Delta t = 4.1 - 0.5 = 3.6 s$

now we have

$\Delta t = \frac{2v}{g}$

$3.6 = \frac{2v}{9.8}$

$v = 17.64 m/s$

this indicates the speed at the flagpole's top

at this point we have

$v_f - v_i = at$

$17.64 - v_i = (-9.8)(0.5)$

$v_i = 22.5 m/s$

the height of the flagpole is stated as

$H = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2}t$

$H = \frac{22.5 + 17.64}{2} (0.5)$

$H = 10.05 m$

A box of mass 3.1kg slides down a rough vertical wall. The gravitational force on the box is 30N . When the box reaches a speed

Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) La fuerza neta que actúa sobre la caja en la dirección vertical es:

Fnet=Fg−f−Fp *sin45 °

aquí Fg representa la fuerza gravitacional, f es la fuerza de fricción, y Fp es la fuerza de empuje.

Fnet=ma

ma=Fg−f−Fp *sin45 °

a= $\frac{30-13-23*sin(45)}{3.1}$

=0.24 m/s²

Vf =Vi +at

=0.48+0.24*2

Vf=2.98 m/s

b)

Fnet=Fg−f−Fp *sin45 °

=Fg−0.516Fp−Fp *sin45 °

=30-1.273Fp

Fnet=0 (Ya que la velocidad es constante)

Fp=30/1.273

=23.56 N

Answer:

d) v1 = v2 = v3

Explanation:

This can be determined through the principle of energy conservation. We assess the total mechanical energy E=K+U (the sum of kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy) at both the initial and final positions, ensuring they remain constant.

<pInitially, for the three spheres, we have:

$E_i=K_i+U_i=\frac{mv_i^2}{2}+mgh_i=\frac{mv^2}{2}+mgh$

Finally, for the three spheres, we see:

$E_f=K_f+U_f=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}+mgh_f=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}$

<pGiven that $E_i=E_f$ , and since $E_i$ remains identical for all spheres, it follows that $E_f$ is identical for all spheres, indicating that $v_f$ , the final velocity, is equal for each ball.

A rotating beacon is located 2 miles out in the water. Let A be the point on the shore that is closest to the beacon. As the bea

serg [3582]

Answer:

$v = 3369.2 m/s$

Explanation:

The beacon is rotating at an angular speed of

$f = 10 rev/min$

so we have

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi(\frac{10}{60})$

$\omega = 1.047 rad/s$

We know that

$v = r \omega$

At this point we have

$r = 2 miles = 2(1609 m)$

$r = 3218 m$

So we can conclude with

$v = 3218(1.047)$

$v = 3369.2 m/s$

The young tree was bent and has been brought into a vertical position by the three guy cables. If tension at AB = 0, AC = 10 lb,

Keith_Richards [3271]

Answer:

The initially bent young tree has been straightened by adjusting the tensions of the three guy wires to AB = 7 lb, AC = 8 lb, and AD = 10 lb. Please calculate the force and moment reactions at the trunk's base point O, disregarding the weight of the tree.

C and D are situated 3.1' from the y-axis, while B and C are located 5.4' from the x-axis, and A has a height of 5.2'.
