Shawn and his bike have a total mass of 57.9 kg. Shawn rides his bike 1.1 km in 14.8 min at a constant velocity. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . What is Shawn’s kinetic energy? Answer in units of J.

Aspecial electronic sensor is embedded in the seat of a car that takes riders around a circular loop-the-loop ride at an amusement park. the sensor measures the magnitude of the normal force that the seat exerts on a rider. the loop-the-loop ride is in the vertical plane and its radius is 23 m. sitting on the seat before the ride starts, a rider is level and stationary, and the electronic sensor reads 740 n. at the top of the loop, the rider is upside down and moving, and the sensor reads 370 n. what is the speed of the rider at the top of the loop?

Suppose water is leaking from a tank through a circular hole of area ah at its bottom. when water leaks through a hole, friction and contraction of the stream near the hole reduce the volume of water leaving the tank per second to cah 2gh , where c (0 < c < 1) is an empirical constant. a tank in the form of a right-circular cone standing on end, vertex down, is leaking water through a circular hole in its bottom. (assume the removed apex of the cone is of negligible height and volume.) (a) suppose the tank is 20 feet high and has radius 8 feet and the circular hole has radius 2 inches. the differential equation governing the height h in feet of water leaking from a tank after t seconds is dh dt = − 5 6h3/2 . if the height of the water is initially 8 feet, how long will it take the tank to empty? (round your answer to two decimal places.)
