AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the power needed to raise one ton (1000 kg) per meter per minute, emphasizing the conversion of energy into potential energy. The formula for power is defined as the rate of change of potential energy over time, expressed as power = dU/dt. Participants are encouraged to derive the potential energy function U with respect to time and differentiate it accordingly. Additionally, a kWh figure is requested to estimate the cost associated with this energy expenditure. Resources on power in physics are provided for further reference.

I require information on the power required to raise each ton (1000 kg) per meter per minute and the fomula for working this out. To determine the cost of doing this work a kWh figure would be appreciated.

In this case, the energy you supply is converted into potential energy.

Therefore, power = dU/dt where U is the potential energy

Find the function of U with respect to t and differentiate.
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
