Total Energy Change Calculation in Stamping Machine
What is the total energy change of the hammerhead in a stamping machine?
The change in total energy of the hammerhead is 31004.825 J.
To calculate the change in total energy of the hammerhead in a stamping machine, we need to apply the Principle of Energy Conservation and Work-Energy Theorem. The total energy change is determined by the difference between the final kinetic energy and the initial potential energy of the hammerhead.
Calculation:
Change in Total Energy of the Hammerhead, ΔEham = KB - Ug,A
ΔEham = (1/2) * mham * vB2 - mham * g * hA
ΔEham = mham * ((1/2) * vB2 - g * hA)
ΔEham = (25 kg) * [(1/2) * (50 m/s)2 - (9.807 m/s2) * (1 m)]
ΔEham = 31004.825 J
Therefore, the total energy change of the hammerhead in the stamping machine is 31004.825 Joules.
