Homework Statement Consider four situations: I) a fan's rotation is speeding up while going in the clockwise direction; II) it is speeding up while going in the counterclockwise direction; III) it is slowing down while going in the clockwise direction; and IV) it is slowing down while going...

no, it is not.

[b]1. Consider a fan that has rotated by a total of 2 complete revolutions from where it started. This quantity (2 revolutions) is analogous to what quantity in linear kinematics? Position Displacement Velocity Speed Time Time Homework Equations I am...

I got 1569 for my efficiency What do I do after I get the Efficiency ?

Where are getting that number from?

250-Calorie* snack, which contains 1x10^6 J

can i use 9.8 for acceleration? in that case squid has a greater velocity since it started at 2.0

Homework Statement I am 65 kg and eat a 500 Calorie lunch and go hiking up a mountain afterwards. Assuming that chemical energy is converted to gravitational potential energy with 50% efficiency, approximately how many miles up the mountain can I go before I need my dinner? 0.5 miles...

I need the acceleration to solve for the velocity...

Homework Statement I push two frictionless carts along a table, using a force of 10 N on each. Riding on one cart is a squid and on the other cart is a mango. They have the same mass. The squid's cart is moving at 2.0 m/s when I start pushing, in the same direction that I push. The mango's...

Homework Statement Let's say I tie a string to a clicker and swing it in a horizontal circle around my head at constant speed. How much work is done by the tension force due to the string when it goes all the way around one full circle? A. No work is done. B. The work equals the...

Homework Statement A satellite sitting on the ground has a weight of 5000 N. When it is placed in orbit 500 km above the surface of the Earth (which has a radius of 6380 km), which choice best describes its weight? Very small but slightly greater than zero. Zero. Still 5000 N...

Homework Statement Figure 5.18 shows a space station rotating about an axis. Because of the rotational motion, any object located at a point P on the interior surface of the station experiences a centripetal force directed toward the axis. The surface of the station provides this force by...
