Q3. Swimming robots – Two friends, Alex and Barbara, are having a friendly competition: who can build the fastest swimming "robot". The robot should be very rudimentary: the body should be a simple potato and both friends are only allowed to add a propulsion mechanism at the end. Alex is a big fan of fish, and therefore bases his roboť's swimming mechanism on the tail of a fish: He attaches a paddle to a motor, which rapidly changes the angle of the paddle from side to side. Barbara, on the other hand, was inspired by flagellar propulsion and decided to attach a corkscrew to a motor which rotates it along its axis, as depicted. Alex Barbara a) If the race is done in water, who should win the race? Explain. b) If the race is done is honey, who should win the race? Explain.

A pendulum in your house swings from one side to the other in a span of 0.8 seconds. How long is the string that is attached to the mass?
Principle of Linear Impulse and Momentum for a System of Particles To apply the principle of linear impulse and momentum to a system of particles. Integrating the equation of motion, as applied to all particles in a system, yields ∑mi(vi)1+∑∫t2t1Fidt=∑mi(vi)2 where mi is the ith particle's mass, vi is the ith particle's velocity, and Fi is the external force that acts on the ith particle. This relationship states that the sum of the initial linear momenta, at time t1, and the impulses of all the external forces acting between times t1 and t2 is equal to the sum of the linear momenta of the system, at time t2. If the system has a mass center, G, the expression becomes m(vG)1+∑∫t2t1Fidt=m(vG)2 This expression allows the principle of linear impulse and momentum to be applied to a system of particles that is represented as a single particle. Two blocks, each of mass m = 6.90 kg , are connected by a massless rope and start sliding down a slope of incline θ = 36.0 ∘ at t=0.000 s. The…
Unreasonable Results - A slightly deranged Arctic inventor surrounded by ice thinks it would be much less mechanically complex to cool a car engine by melting ice on it than by having a water-cooled system with a radiator, water pump, antifreeze, and so on. (a) If 80% of the energy in 1.00 gal of gasoline is converted into “waste heat” in a car engine, how many kilograms of 0C ice could it melt? (b) Is this a reasonable amount of ice to carry around to cool the engine for 1.00 gal of gasoline consumption? (c) What premises or assumptions are unreasonable?
The speed of your automobile has a huge effect on fuel consumption. Traveling at 65 miles per hour (mph) instead of 55 mph can consume almost 20% more fuel. As a general rule, for every mile per hour over 55, you lose 2% in fuel economy. For example, if your automobile gets 30 miles per gallon at 55 mph, the fuel consumption is 21 miles per gallon at 70 mph. If you take a 400-mile trip and your average speed is 80 mph rather than the posted speed limit of 70 mph, what is the extra cost of fuel if gasoline costs $4.00 per gallon? Your car gets 30 miles per gallon (mpg) at 60 mph.
A small block starting from rest takes 5 sec to slide down an inclinedplane 80 cm long. (a) What was its acceleration and (b) with what speed did it reach the bottom of the incline?
During a bicep curl on a bicep curl machine, I'm curling a weight stack of 100 pounds (single arm...I'm jacked like that). At this very moment, the weight stack has a moment arm of 0.12m, my elbow has an angle of 63deg, my muscle force vector has an angle of 23deg, and it attaches 3cm below my elbow joint on my radius. How much force must my bicep create right at this moment to hold the weight stack in place?
As shows a 100 g block of copper (ρ = 8900 kg/m3) and a 100 g block of aluminum (ρ = 2700 kg/m3) connected by a massless string that runs over two massless, frictionless pulleys. The two blocks exactly balance, since they have the same mass. Now suppose that the whole system is submerged in water. What will happen?A. The copper block will fall, the aluminum block will rise.B. The aluminum block will fall, the copper block will rise.C. Nothing will change.D. Both blocks will rise.
Given the sketch shown below, the diameter of the plunger Dp = 8 cm. The Ram diameter is Dr = 48 cm. The efficiency is 100%, the stroke of the plunger is 18 cm. The ram has to raise a load F2 = 2kN. Find: A) the force f1 exerted on the plunger. B) the number of strokes needed to raise the load given above by a distance of 10 cm. C) the volume of oil pumped if the load moves by 20 cm ( using plunger force in a ) D) what will be the new diameter of the ram piston if the new load force is 16 times the force exerted in the plunger the diameter of the plunger is kept to 8 cm.

please help solve for part A) Q3 part a, for this system the changes in internal, potential and kinetic energies are all ≈ 0, so that . This seems odd, but the water is merely transferring work from the pump to the piston, rack and car. Here the W s the algebraic sum of the work done on the water by the pump and the work done by the water on the piston, rack and car ( i think)
Fluid Mechanics A cube box container with open-top is made up of plastic sheet material. The area density of the plastic is 500 kg/m2 with dimension of 3 m in its edges. It made to float in a lake where the water density if 1030 kg/m3. If the same lake water will be carried by the container, what is the maximum volume of this lake water it can carry?
A tank, shaped like a cone has height 8 meters and base radius 3 meters long. It is placed so that the circular part is upward. It is full of water, and we have to pump it all out by a pipe that is always leveled at the surface of the water. Assume that a cubic meter of water weighs 10000 N, i.e. the density of water is 10000 N/m3. How much work does it require to pump all water out of the tank? Enter the exact value of your answer.
