Evaluate the kinetic energy of a unit weight, in meters, flowing at 4 m/s?
A 8 kg particle is originally at rest. At t=0, a force of 15e-0.7t is applied. What is the impulse acting on the particle between t=0 and t=1.2 seconds? [Ns] What is the speed of the particle at t=1.2 seconds [m/s]. How fast is the particle going after the force has entirely dissipated? [m/s]. Check
While out on your boat you spot a spherical vessel (10 ft diameter) on the bottom of the ocean. The sphere is too heavy/large to bring into your small boat (length=2.5 m, width=1.5 m and height=1 m), so you decide to tow it in. Your boat has a 20 hp motor. Assuming you operate your boat at maximum power, how long does it take to tow the object back to shore (distance 2 miles) if your boat has a coefficient of drag Cp=0.4. 1 Assume that the stress on the bottom of the boat can be ignored and recall that for turbulent flow for a sphere CD=0.44. The wind is luckily not blowing that day. The air is at 1 atm and 15°C and water at 25°C. 20 hp Figure 2
