Okay, Jordan, let's work through Question 6.

A bodybuilder pulls a 60 kg60 \, \text{kg} tyre with a force of 250 N250 \, \text{N} at an elevation of 20∘20^\circ to the horizontal.

1- If he is able to pull for 25 metres, calculate the work done by the bodybuilder.

  1. Calculate the work done by the bodybuilder.

    The work done by a force at an angle is given by W=Fdcos⁡θW = F d \cos \theta.
    Here, F=250 NF = 250 \, \text{N}, d=25 md = 25 \, \text{m}, and θ=20∘\theta = 20^\circ.

    WB=Fdcos⁡θW_B = F d \cos \theta WB=(250 N)(25 m)cos⁡(20∘)W_B = (250 \, \text{N})(25 \, \text{m}) \cos(20^\circ) WB=6250 J×0.9397W_B = 6250 \, \text{J} \times 0.9397 WB≈5873.125 JW_B \approx \boxed{5873.125 \, \text{J}}

    2- Provided that the tyre was initially at rest and there is an additional frictional force of 220 N220 \, \text{N}:

Part a

Determine the work required to overcome the frictional force.

  1. Calculate the work done against friction.

    The work done against friction is Wf=FfdW_f = F_f d.
    Here, Ff=220 NF_f = 220 \, \text{N} and d=25 md = 25 \, \text{m}.

    Wf=FfdW_f = F_f d Wf=(220 N)(25 m)W_f = (220 \, \text{N})(25 \, \text{m}) Wf=5500 JW_f = \boxed{5500 \, \text{J}}

Part b

373.125 J373.125 \, \text{J}

Using the kinetic energy theorem, deduce the kinetic energy KEK_E the bodybuilder provides the tyre.

  1. Apply the Work-Energy Theorem to find the kinetic energy.

    The net work done on the tyre is the work done by the bodybuilder minus the work done against friction. This net work equals the change in kinetic energy (ΔKE\Delta K_E). Since the tyre starts from rest, the initial kinetic energy is 0.

    Wnet=WB−WfW_{net} = W_B - W_f Wnet=5873.125 J−5500 JW_{net} = 5873.125 \, \text{J} - 5500 \, \text{J} Wnet=373.125 JW_{net} = 373.125 \, \text{J}

    So, the kinetic energy provided to the tyre is:

    KE=373.125 JK_E = \boxed{373.125 \, \text{J}}

Part c

3.526 m/s3.526 \, \text{m/s}

Calculate the tyre's velocity. Take KE=373 JK_E = 373 \, \text{J}.

  1. Calculate the velocity using the kinetic energy formula.

    The kinetic energy is given by KE=12mv2K_E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2. We are given KE=373 JK_E = 373 \, \text{J} and m=60 kgm = 60 \, \text{kg}.

    KE=12mv2K_E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 373 J=12(60 kg)v2373 \, \text{J} = \frac{1}{2}(60 \, \text{kg})v^2 373 J=(30 kg)v2373 \, \text{J} = (30 \, \text{kg})v^2 v2=373 J30 kgv^2 = \frac{373 \, \text{J}}{30 \, \text{kg}} v2=12.433 m2/s2v^2 = 12.433 \, \text{m}^2/\text{s}^2 v=12.433 m2/s2v = \sqrt{12.433 \, \text{m}^2/\text{s}^2} v≈3.526 m/sv \approx \boxed{3.526 \, \text{m/s}}
