Question

1) To what height can a 499 W engine lift a 70 kg mass in 2 seconds?

Height = XXX Number meters

2) A speedboat must develop 110 horsepower in order to move at a constant speed of 53 mph through the water. What is the average resistive force through the water?

Avg Resistant Force = XXX pounds

3) A 2.2 kg ball travels from left to right at 10 m/s. A bat drives the ball in the opposite direction with a velocity of 18 m/s. If the time of contact was 0.1 seconds, what was the average force on the ball?

Average Force = XXXX Newtons

Explanation / Answer

1.

Power = work/time

Power = 499 W

work = m*g*h

m = 70 kg

h = Power*t/(m*g)

h = 499*2/(70*9.81)

h = 1.45 m

2.

Force = power/velocity

Power = 110 hp = 80904.86 W

velocity = 53 mph = 23.69 m/sec

Force = 80904.86/23.69 = 3415.14 N

F = 3415.14 N = 767.75 Pounds

3.

m = 2.2 kg

u = +10 m/sec

v = -18 m/sec

using momentum conservation

F*dt = m*u - m*v

F = 2.2*(10 - (-18))/0.1

F = 616 N
