Find the work done in pumping gasoline that weighs 6600 newtons per cubic meter. A cylindrical gasoline tank 3 meters in diamete

r and 2 meters long is carried on the back of a truck and is used to fuel tractors. The axis of the tank is horizontal. The opening on the tractor tank is 5 meters above the top of the tank in the truck. Find the work done in pumping the entire contents of the fuel tank into the tractor.

Answer:

<em>work done in pumping the entire fuel is 466587 J</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

weight of the gasoline per volume = 6600 N/m^3

diameter of the tank = 3 m

length of the tank = 2 m

height of the tractor tank above the top of the tank = 5 m

work done in pumping fuel to this height = ?

First, we find the volume of the fuel

since the tank is cylindrical,<em> we assume that the fuel within also takes the cylindrical shape.</em>

<em>Also, we assume that the fuel completely fills the tank.</em>

volume of a cylinder = $\pi r^{2}l$

where r = radius = diameter ÷ 2 = 3/2 = 1.5 m

volume of the cylinder = 3.142 x $1.5^{2}$ x 2 = 14.139 m^3

we then find the total weight of the fuel in Newton

total weight = (weight per volume) x volume

total weight = 6600 x 14.139 = 93317.4 N

work done = (total weight of the fuel) x (height through which the fuel is pumped)

work done in pumping = 93317.4 x 5 = <em>466587 J</em>

How can controlling the way light bends and reflects be used to help people?

too much sun is dangerous for humans and can cause cancer so it's important that light is reflected for example a pool reflects water back to space that is why water sometimes is cold because it reflects light

A shuttle on Earth has a mass of 4.5 E 5 kg. Compare its weight on Earth to its weight while in orbit at a height of 6.3 E 5 met

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

83%

Explanation:

On the surface, the weight is:

W = GMm / R²

where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the shuttle, and R is the radius of the Earth.

In orbit, the weight is:

w = GMm / (R+h)²

where h is the height of the shuttle above the surface of the Earth.

The ratio is:

w/W = R² / (R+h)²

w/W = (R / (R+h))²

Given that R = 6.4×10⁶ m and h = 6.3×10⁵ m:

w/W = (6.4×10⁶ / 7.03×10⁶)²

w/W = 0.83

The shuttle in orbit retains 83% of its weight on Earth.

In a common but dangerous prank, a chair is pulled away as a person is moving downward to sit on it, causing the victim to land

sattari [20]

Answer:

a) Impulse |J|= 219.4 kgm/s

b) Force F = 2672 N

Explanation:

Given

Height of fall h = 0.50 m

Mass M = 70 kg

Period of collision t = 0.082 s

Solution

The final velocity of the person v is zero since the person will come to rest.

The initial velocity of the person can be calculated by using the "law of conservation of energy".

Initial Kinetic energy = Final potential energy

$\frac{1}{2} mu^2=mgh\\\\u = \sqrt{2gh} \\\\u = \sqrt{2 \times 9.81 \times 0.50} \\\\u = 3.13 m/s$

a) Impulse

J = final momentum - initial momentum

$J = mv -mu\\\\J = 0 - (70 \times 3.13)\\\\J = -219.2 kgm/s$

Magnitude of impulse

$|J| = 219.1 kgm/s$

b) Force

$F = \frac{J}{t} \\\\F = \frac{219.1}{0.082} \\\\F = 2672 N$

If isomerization requires breaking the pi bond, what minimum energy is required for isomerization in j/mol?

aliina [53]

<span>The minimum energy required for isomerization is 267 000 J/mol
</span>

The isomerization of cis-but-2-ene to trans-but-2-ene requires breaking of the π bond.

The bond energy of a C-C σ bond is 347 kJ/mol.

The bond energy of a C=C double bond (σ + π) is 614 kJ/mol.

So the bond energy of a π bond is (614 – 347) kJ/mol = 267 kJ/mol =
267 000 J/mol.
