What upward gravitational force does a 5600kg elephant exert on the earth?

2 answers:

8 0

Force is determined by multiplying mass and gravity (F= mg). To determine the answer, the mass of the elephant (5600 kg) is multiplied with the gravity (9.8 m/s²). The answer is 5800 N. This is the upward gravitational force that the elephant exerts on the earth.

<u>Answer</u>

54,880 N

<u>Explanation</u>

The Gravitational force is the force exited by an object towards the center of the earth. It is called the weight of an object. The Newton's 2nd law of motion says that for every action there is equal and opposite reaction. So, if the elephant exerts a force on the earth, the earth exerts an equal force to the elephant.

Weight = mass × gravity

= 5600 × 9.8

= 54,880 N

A diver named Jacques observes a bubble of air rising from the bottom of a lake (where the absolute pressure is 3.50 atm) to the

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

3.73994

No,

Explanation:

$P_1$ = Pressure at the bottom of the lake = 3.5 atm

$P_2$ = Pressure at the top of the lake = 1 atm

$V_b$ = Volume at the bottom of the lake

$V_s$ = Volume at the top of the lake

$T_1$ = Temperature at the bottom of the lake = 4 °C

$T_2$ = Temperature at the top of the lake = 23 °C

From ideal gas law we have the relation

$\dfrac{P_1V_b}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_s}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{V_b}{V_s}=\frac{P_2T_1}{P_1T_2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{V_b}{V_s}=\frac{1\times 277.15}{3.5\times 296.15}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{V_s}{V_b}=0.26738^{-1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{V_s}{V_b}=3.73994$

The ratio is 3.73994

As Jacques is ascending if he holds his breath his lungs acting like a bubble would expand. Hence, it is not safe to hold his breath while ascending,

Water, initially saturated vapor at 4 bar, fills a closed, rigid container. The water is heated until its temperature is 360°C.

salantis [7]

Explanation:

Using table A-3, we will obtain the properties of saturated water as follows.

Hence, pressure is given as p = 4 bar.

$u_{1} = u_{g}$ = 2553.6 kJ/kg

$v_{1} = v_{g} = 0.4625 m^{3}/kg$

At state 2, we will obtain the properties. In a closed rigid container, the specific volume will remain constant.

Also, the specific volume saturated vapor at state 1 and 2 becomes equal. So, $v_{2} = v_{g} = 0.4625 m^{3}/kg$

According to the table A-4, properties of superheated water vapor will obtain the internal energy for state 2 at $v_{2} = v_{g} = 0.4625 m^{3}/kg$ and temperature $T_{2} = 360^{o}C$ so that it will fall in between range of pressure p = 5.0 bar and p = 7.0 bar.

Now, using interpolation we will find the internal energy as follows.

$u_{2} = u_{\text{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}} + (\frac{v_{2} - v_{\text{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}}}{v_{\text{at 7 bar, 400^{o}C - v_{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}}}})(u_{at 7 bar, 400^{o}C - u_{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}})$

$u_{2} = 2963.2 + (\frac{0.4625 - 0.6173}{0.4397 - 0.6173})(2960.9 - 2963.2)$

= 2963.2 - 2.005

= 2961.195 kJ/kg

Now, we will calculate the heat transfer in the system by applying the equation of energy balance as follows.

Q - W = $\Delta U + \Delta K.E + \Delta P.E$ ......... (1)

Since, the container is rigid so work will be equal to zero and the effects of both kinetic energy and potential energy can be ignored.

$\Delta K.E = \Delta P.E$ = 0

Now, equation will be as follows.

Q - W = $\Delta U + \Delta K.E + \Delta P.E$

Q - 0 = $\Delta U + 0 + 0$

Q = $\Delta U$

Now, we will obtain the heat transfer per unit mass as follows.

$\frac{Q}{m} = \Delta u$

$\frac{Q}{m} = u_{2} - u_{1}$

= (2961.195 - 2553.6)

= 407.595 kJ/kg

Thus, we can conclude that the heat transfer is 407.595 kJ/kg.

Using energy considerations and assuming negligible air resistance, show that a rock thrown from a bridge 20.0 m above water wit

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the bridge is 20m

Initial before he throws the rock

The height is hi = 20 m

Then, final height hitting the water

hf = 0 m

Initial speed the rock is throw

Vi = 15m/s

The final speed at which the rock hits the water

Vf = 24.8 m/s

Using conservation of energy given by the question hint

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

Where

Ki is initial kinetic energy

Ui is initial potential energy

Kf is final kinetic energy

Uf is final potential energy

Then,

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

Where

Ei = Ki + Ui

Where Ei is initial energy

Ei = ½mVi² + m•g•hi

Ei = ½m × 15² + m × 9.8 × 20

Ei = 112.5m + 196m

Ei = 308.5m J

Now,

Ef = Kf + Uf

Ef = ½mVf² + m•g•hf

Ef = ½m × 24.8² + m × 9.8 × 0

Ef = 307.52m + 0

Ef = 307.52m J

Since Ef ≈ Ei, then the rock thrown from the tip of a bridge is independent of the direction of throw

A magnetic dipole with a dipole moment of magnitude 0.0243 J/T is released from rest in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 57

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

47.76°

Explanation:

Magnitude of dipole moment = 0.0243J/T

Magnetic Field = 57.5mT

kinetic energy = 0.458mJ

∇U = -∇K

Uf - Ui = -0.458mJ

Ui - Uf = 0.458mJ

(-μBcosθi) - (-μBcosθf) = 0.458mJ

rearranging the equation,

(μBcosθf) - (μBcosθi) = 0.458mJ

μB * (cosθf - cosθi) = 0.458mJ

θf is at 0° because the dipole moment is aligned with the magnetic field.

μB * (cos 0 - cos θi) = 0.458mJ

but cos 0 = 1

(0.0243 * 0.0575) (1 - cos θi) = 0.458*10⁻³

1 - cos θi = 0.458*10⁻³ / 1.397*10⁻³

1 - cos θi = 0.3278

collect like terms

cosθi = 0.6722

θ = cos⁻ 0.6722

θ = 47.76°
