A bag of sand originally weighing 144 lb was lifted at a constant rate. As it rose, sand also leaked out at a constant rate. The

sand was half gone by the time the bag had been lifted to 10 ft. How much work was done lifting the sand this far? (Neglect the weight of the bag and lifting equipment.)

Answer:

The work done was W=720lb.ft

Explanation:

Here weight is a lineal function of the vertical position. Let's put it in the following way:

w(y)=ay+b

where w is the weight and y is the vertical position (how high it is the bag).

So, from the information given:

w(0)=144lb ⇒ a0+b=b=144lb

w(10ft)=\frac{144lb}{2} =72lb ⇒ a10ft+b=a10ft+144lb=72lb ⇒ a=\frac{72lb-144lb}{10ft} =-7.2\frac{lb}{ft}

∴ w(y)=-7.2\frac{lb}{ft}y+144lb

So, the work done will be:

W=\int\limits^{10ft}_0 {w(y)} \, dy =\int\limits^{10ft}_0 {-7.2\frac{lb}{ft}y+144lb} \, dy = \int\limits^{10ft}_0 {-7.2\frac{lb}{ft}y} \, dy + \int\limits^{10ft}_0 {144lb} \, dy=

= -7.2\frac{lb}{ft}\frac{1}{2} ((10ft)^2-0^2) + 144lb. 10ft=720lb.ft

∴ W=720lb.ft

The hammer throw was one of the earliest Olympic events. In this event, a heavy ball attached to a chain is swung several times
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Given that

T= 0.43 s

Radius of the ball path's , r=2.1 m

a)

We know that

f= 1/T

Here f= frequency

      T= Time period

Now by putting the values

f= 1/T

T= 0.43 s

f= 1/0.43

f=2.32 Hz

b)

We know that

V= ω r

ω = 2 π f

ω=Angular speed

V= Linear speed

ω = 2 π f=ω = 2 x π x 2.32 =14.60 rad/s

V= ω r= 14.60 x 2.1 = 30.66 m/s

c)

Acceleration ,a

a =ω ² r

a= 14.6 ² x 2.1 = 447.63 m/s²

We know that g = 10 m/s²

So

a= a/g= 447.63/10 = 44.7 g m/s²

a= 44.7 g m/s²

The filament in the bulb is moving back and forth, first pushed one way and then the other. What does this imply about the curre
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

energy carried by the current is given by the pointyng vector

Explanation:

The current is defined by

       i = dQ / dt

this is the number of charges per unit area over time.

The movement of the charge carriers (electrons) is governed by the applied potential difference, when the filament has a movement the drag speed of these moving electrons should change slightly.

But the energy carried by the current is given by the pointyng vector of the electromagnetic wave

            S = 1 / μ₀ EX B

It moves at the speed of light and its speed depends on the properties of the doctor and is not disturbed by small changes in speed, therefore the current in the circuit does not change due to this movement

SashulF [63]
F=ma

For the first (10kg) cart,
12=10a
a=6/5 m/s^2 to the left

For the second (5kg) cart,
8=5a
a=8/5 m/s^2 to the left

Therefore, the lighter (5kg) cart experiences a greater acceleration.

Two satellites revolve around the Earth. Satellite A has mass m and has an orbit of radius r. Satellite B has mass 6m and an orb
melomori [17]

Answer:

aaaaa

Explanation:

M = Mass of the Earth

m = Mass of satellite

r = Radius of satellite

G = Gravitational constant

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

F=G\frac{M6m}{r_b^2}

G\frac{Mm}{r^2}=G\frac{M6m}{r_b^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{r^2}=\frac{6}{r_b^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{r_b^2}{r^2}=6\\\Rightarrow \frac{r_b}{r}=\sqrt{6}\\\Rightarrow r_b=2.44948r

r_b=2.44948r
