Conservation of Energy

In physics, the rule of the conservation of energy states that energy doesn’t disappear from the atmosphere; instead, it changes its form from one type to another. Energy is one of the most important physical quantities in nature, and it cannot be created or destroyed — only transformed.

A 45 grams (0.045 kg) golf ball of diameter equal to 43 mm fell into a 2m deep lake. Neglect inertia at the moment of impact. Assume viscosity of 1.12x10-3 Ns/m2 , water density of 1,000 kg/m3 and Cd=0.5. Sphere volume equals 4π r³ /3. 1. How long will it take from the moment it hits the surface until it gets to the bottom? 2. If one estimates the Cd with Cd=24/Re formula, the settling velocity would be unrealistically large. Why?
A differential equation encountered in the vibration of beams is d4ydx4=2D where x = distance measured along the beam; [x]=[L] y = displacement of the beam; [y]=[L] = circular frequency of vibration; []=[T1] = mass of the beam per unit length; []=[ML1] D = bending rigidity of beam; [D]=[FL2] Show that the equation is dimensionally homogeneous. Note that [F]=[MLT2] see Eq. (1.21:).

PROPAGATION OF ERROR You are tasked to supervise the design of 0.5MW wind turbine to be constructed in a Wind Farm in Pililla, Rizal. Suppose the design criteria are as follows: The air density as surveyed after 2 year period averaged at 1.225 kg / cubic meter. The sweeping diameter of the rotor blades is 125m, and the anemometer reading in the area amounts to 4.2m/s on a 2 year period of survey. if the diameter measurement is off by 0.1m and the anemometer reading is also fluctuating by 0.05m/s. In the design specifications given, if the actual measurement of power via the substation amounts to exactly 530kW and given that the windspeed is off by 0.05m/s, what could have been the error in the measurement of diameter? Your answer must be in 3 decimal places and in correct signs and measurement. Show complete solution in paper.
A physics lab consists of a large ball attached to a wire. Students hold on to one end of the wire, then whirl the ball around in circles and count the number of rotations per second. One group finds these numbers: ball mass= 320 gram, wire length= 1.3m, number of rotations/sec=2.5. The wire is made of steel with a diameter of 1mm and a Young's modulus of 20x10^10 N/m^2.How much does the wire stretch due to the tension on it? Should the students correct their data for the wire stretching?

Using Newton’s laws, we could show that for some pendulums, the period T is related to the length l and free-fall acceleration g by T=2pi square root of (l/g) , or T2 = (4pi2/g) * l Does one of your graphs support this relationship? Explain. (Hint: Can the term in parentheses be treated as a constant of proportionality?)

Atmospheric pressure can be reported in several ways. At sea level the average atmospheric pressure is 15 lbs/sq in, or 101.3 kPa, or 760 mm Hg, or 1 atmosphere. Since all of these are equal, you can easily convert from one to the other. For example, if your tire pressure is 32.0 lbs/square inch, you can determine the kilopascals in the following manner: 32.0 lb/sq in X 101.3 kPa / 15 lbs/sq in = 216 kPa. Now, find the pressure in mm Hg of a container that has a pressure of 9.92 atm. mm Hg
