Sasha lifts a couch 8.2 meters from the ground floor of her house to the attic. If the couch has a mass of 120 kg, what is the gravitational potential energy gained by the couch? Estimate g as 9.81 m/s^2.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

9653.04 joules

Explanation:

H= 8.2 m

M= 120 kg

G= 9.81 m/s^2

P.E= ?

P.E = MGH

P.E = 120 x 9.81 x 8.2

P.E = 9653.04 joules

The point of a nail has an area of 0.25cm squared, and an average person has a weight of 700 N. Explain in detail why it is possible to lie on a bed of 4000 nails, but not on one single nail. Thanks

Answers

Answer:

It is possible to lie on a bed of 4000 nails, but not on one single nail because a bed of 4000 nails exerts lesser pressure than a bed of one single nail .

Explanation:

Given;

weight of an average person, W = F = 700 N

area of the nail, A = 0.25 cm² = 0.25 x 10⁻⁴ m²

The pressure exerted by a single nail is given as;

P = F / A

P = 700 / (0.25 x 10⁻⁴)

P = 2.8 x 10⁷ N/m²

The pressure exerted by 4000 nails is given as;

Total surface area of 4000 nails = 4000 x 0.25 x 10⁻⁴ m² = 0.1 m²

P = F / A

P = 700 / 0.1

P = 7,000 N / m²

From the calculated values, 4000 nails exerts less pressure on the person than one single nail because pressure decreases with increase in surface area of an object.

Thus, it is possible to lie on a bed of 4000 nails, but not on one single nail because a bed of 4000 nails exerts lesser pressure than a bed of one single nail .

A 747 requires a takeoff speed of 270 meters per second if it is to get off the
ground. Calculate the acceleration required for the 747 that begins from rest
to takeoff on a 1000 meter long runway.

Answers

Answer:

a = 36.45[m/s²]

Explanation:

We can calculate the acceleration value by means of the following expression of kinematics.

[tex]v_{f}^{2} =v_{o}^{2} +2*a*x[/tex]

where:

vf = final velocity = 270 [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 0 (begins from rest)

a = acceleration [m/s]²

x = distance required by the plane = 1000 [m]

[tex](270)^{2} =0+2*a*1000\\72900=2000*a\\a=36.45 [m/s^{2} ][/tex]

Electric current is a stream of moving electrons.

The number of electrons that leave a point has to be the same as the number of electrons that arrive there.

. If they arrive and don't leave, then there has to be a way to store them there, like a capacitor or a battery.

And if they're leaving but not arriving, then there has to be a tiny factory there, manufacturing electrons and shipping them out.

The whole idea is called "Conservation of electric charge". The idea is that charge can't be created or destroyed. If charge appears, it had to come from somewhere. And if you have some that you don't want, you have to send it somewhere, because it never just disappears.

There's actually a law in electronics that covers this nicely, called Kirchhoff's current law. It says that the sum of all currents entering a single point is zero. (current coming in is positive, current going out is negative). In other words, All current In and all current Out are equal.

O the mere exposure effect.
O the fundamental attribution error,
O social loafing.
the foot-in-the-door phenomenon.
O the bystander effect.

Answers

Answer:

O the bystander effect.

Explanation:

In psychology, bystander effect is a theory that explains the unwillingness of a person to render help due to the presence of others. This theory explains that there is every tendency to help a victim in need when others are not there but act contrarily in the presence of others.

This is the case in this question where someone collapsed and laid helplessly on the floor due to difficulty in breathing. People walked past this victim without rendering assistance, however, a young lady who was about to help also walked past when she noticed that others were there and not offering help. This young lady has just portrayed the "BYSTANDER EFFECT".

What is the net work done to lift a 6 kg block a height of 5.3 meters and then lower it back to the ground where it started?

Answers

Answer:

636 J

Explanation:

The weight of the block is =mg = 6kg × 10 ms-2 = 60 N

Since it was raised and dropped back to it's original position, distance = 5.3 × 2 = 10.6 m

Work done = 60N × 10.6 m = 636 J

Answers

Answer:

t = 6 [s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must first use this equation of kinematics.

[tex]v_{f}^{2}=v_{o}^{2} +2*a*x[/tex]

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0 (the car comes to rest)

Vo = initial velocity = 72 [km/h]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

x = distance = 60 [m]

First we must convert the velocity from kilometers per hour to meters per second.

[tex]72 [\frac{km}{h}]*\frac{1000m}{1km} *\frac{1h}{3600s} =20 [m/s][/tex]

[tex]0=(20)^{2} -2*a*60\\400 = 120*a\\a=3.33[m/s^{2} ][/tex]

Now using this other equation of kinematics.

[tex]v_{f}=v_{o}-a*t[/tex]

0 = 20-3.33*t

t = 6[s]

deploys a drag chute which slows the car at a rate of -15 meters per second2.
Calculate the stopping distance of the dragster if only the drag chute is used
bring it to rest.

Answers

Answer:

83.3m

Explanation:

From the question we are given the following:

initial speed u = 50m/s

acceleration a = -15m/s²

final speed = 0m/s

Required

Stopping distance S

Using the equation of motion:

0² = 50²+2(-15)S

0² = 2500 - 30S

-2500 = -30S

S = 2500/30

S = 83.3m

Hence the stopping distance of the dragster if only the drag chute is used  bring it to rest is 83.3m

Two iron bolts of equal Mass one at a hundred see another at 55 Sierra place in the insulated cylinder assuming the heat capacity of the container is negligible what is the final temperature inside the container

Answers

Answer:

[tex]T_2 = 77.5c[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Temp of first bolts[tex]T_1=100[/tex]

Temp of 2nd bolt [tex]T_2=55[/tex]

Generally the equation showing the relationship between  heat & temperature is given by

  [tex]q=cm \triangle T[/tex]

Generally heat released  by the iron bolt  = heat gained by the iron bolt

Generally solving mathematically

     [tex]-(0.45*m* (T_2-100 \textdegree c)) = 0.45*m*(T_2 -55\textdegree c)[/tex]

     [tex]-(T_2-100 \textdegree c)) = (T_2 -55 \textdegree c)[/tex]

      [tex]T_2 +T_2= 100 \textdegree c+55 \textdegree c[/tex]

      [tex]T_2=\frac{155 \textdegree c}{2}[/tex]

      [tex]T_2 = 77.5 \textdegree c[/tex]

Therefore [tex]T_2 = 77.5 \textdegree c[/tex] is the final temperature inside the container
