An electric scooter has a battery capable of supplying 120 Wh of energy. If friction forces and other losses account for 60.0% of the energy usage, what altitude change can a rider achieve when driving in hilly ter-rain if the rider and scooter have a combined weight of 890 N?
Assume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the bow back 50 cm and holds it in position with a force of 150 N. If the mass of the arrow is 50 g and the “spring” is massless, what is the speed of the arrow immediately after it leaves the bow?
A 5.0-kg box rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and surface is K=0.50 . A horizontal force pulls the box at constant velocity for 10 cm. Find the work done by (a) the applied horizontal force, (b) the frictional force, and (c) the net force.
A hummingbird hovers by exerting a downward force on the air equal, on average, to its weight. By Newtons third law, the air exerts an upward force of the same magnitude on the birds wings. Find the average mechanical power delivered by a 3.00-g hummingbird while hovering if its wings beat 80.0 times per second through a stroke 3.50 cm long.
A skier leaves a ski jump at 15.0 m/s at some angle . At what speed is he traveling at his maximum height of 4.50 m above the level of the end of the ski jump? (Neglect air friction.) (See Section 5.3.)
A hummingbird is able to hover because, as the wings move downward, they exert a downward force on the air. Newtons third law tells us that the air exerts an equal and opposite force (upward) on the wings. The average of this force must be equal to the weight of the bird when it hovers. If the wings move through a distance of 3.5 cm with each stroke, and the wings beat 80 times per second, determine the work performed by the wings on the air in 1 m if the mass of the hummingbird is 3.0 g.
The system shown in Figure P5.43 is used to lift an object of mass m = 76.0 kg. A constant downward force of magnitude F is applied to the loose end of the rope such that the hanging object moves upward at constant speed. Neglecting the masses of the rope and pulleys, find (a) the required value of F, (b) the tensions T1, T2, and T3, and (c) the work done by the applied force in raising the object a distance of 1.80 m. Figure P5.43
A car accelerates uniformly from rest. Ignoring air friction, when does the car require the greatest power? (a) When the car first accelerates from rest, (b) just as the car reaches its maximum speed, (c) when the car reaches half its maximum speed. (d) The question is misleading because the power required is constant. (e) More information is needed.
When an automobile moves with constant speed down a highway. most of the power developed by the engine is used to compensate for the energy transformations due to friction forces exerted on the car by the air and the road. If the power developed by an engine is 175 hp, estimate the total friction force acting on the car when it is moving at a speed of 29 m/s. One hone-power equals 746 W.
