How much work does it take to lift 345 boxes to a height of 6.00 m of each box has a mass of 7.89 kg

Art [367]2 years ago

Given the value of the mass of each boxes, the work done in lifting the boxes to the given height is 1.6 × 10⁵J.

<h3>Work done</h3>

Work done is simply defined as the energy transfer that takes place when an object is either pushed or pulled over a certain distance by an external force. It is expressed as;

W = F × d

Where F is force applied or Weight and d is distance

Also Force = Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity.

Since gravity is acting on the boxes as it been lift

W = Weight × height from ground level

W = mg × d

Where m is mass of the boxes, g is accelration due to gravity( g = 9.8m/s² ) and d is distance from ground level.

Given the data in the question;

  • Since each box has a mass of 7.89 kg
  • Mass of the 345 boxes = 345 × 7.89 kg = 2722.05kg
  • Distance or height d = 6.0m
  • Work done W = ?

To determine the work done, we substitute our values into the expression above.

W = mg × d

W = 2722.05kg × 9.8m/s² × 6.0m

W = 160056.5kgm²/s²

W = 160056.5J

W = 1.6 × 10⁵J

Therefore,  Given the value of the mass of each boxes, the work done in lifting the boxes to the given height is 1.6 × 10⁵J.

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular t
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=m₂ = m

m₃ = 2 m

Given that speed of the two pieces

u₁=- 25 j m/s

u₂ =- 25 i m/s

Lets take the speed of the third mass = v m/s

From linear momentum conservation

Pi= Pf

0 = m₁u₁+m₂u₂ + m₃ v

0 = -25 j m  - 25 i m + 2 m v

2 v=25 j   + 25 i m/s

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Therefore the speed of the third mass will be v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

A ball falls from the top of a building. As it falls, its speed increases. Which type of energy is the ball gaining as it falls?
Elina [12.6K]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: B. Kinetic energy

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since the ball is falling, speed increases because the gravity acceleration is acting. When speed increases, the kinetic energy increases too, so the ball is gaining kinetic energy.

The gravity acceleration is equal to 9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}, it means that when falling, the ball will increase it's speed 9.81m every second.

We can calculate the kinetic energy by using the following formula:

KE=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

Where:

m=mass\\v=velocity

Have a nice day!

A mass of 5kg starts from rest and pulls down vertically on a string wound around a disk-shaped, massive pulley. The mass of the
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

c. V = 2 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy:

E_i =E_f

so:

Mgh = \frac{1}{2}IW^2 +\frac{1}{2}MV^2

where M is the mass, g the gravity, h the altitude, I the moment of inertia of the pulley, W the angular velocity of the pulley and V the velocity of the mass.

Also we know that:

V = WR

Where R is the radius of the disk, so:

W = V/R

Also, the moment of inertia of the disk is equal to:

I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2

I = \frac{1}{2}(5kg)(2m)^2

I = 10 kg*m^2

so, we can write the initial equation as:

Mgh = \frac{1}{2}IV^2/R^2 +\frac{1}{2}MV^2

Replacing the data:

(5kg)(9.8)(0.3m) = \frac{1}{2}(10)V^2/(2)^2 +\frac{1}{2}(5kg)V^2

solving for V:

(5kg)(9.8)(0.3m) = V^2(\frac{1}{2}(10)1/4 +\frac{1}{2}(5kg))

V = 2 m/s

Do all metals expand the same amount when heated??
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The rate at which solids expand when heated depends on the substance. Metals tend to have higher rates of expansion (per degree change in temperature) than non-metal solids, but there is variation even among metals. A table of expansion coefficients can be found here or here.
