A chain of length L has a mass of m which is uniformly distributed. When it is placed on a smooth horizontal table, 1/4 of its l

ength hangs over the edge of the table (as shown in the figure). Then the chain slides away from the table freely, how much gravitational potential energy has changed from the beginning to the chain just sliding away from the table? (The height of the table from the ground is much greater than L)

Gravitational potential energy has changed from the beginning to the chain just sliding away from the table willl be MgL/24.

<h3>What is gravitational potential energy?</h3>

The energy that an item has due to its location in a gravitational field is known as gravitational potential energy.

Length of hanging part, L/4

The gravitational potential energy is;

Work = Gravitational potential energy

Work done =force×displacement

$\rm W = \frac{Mg}{3} \times \frac{L}{8} \\\\ W = \frac{MgL}{24}$

Hence, gravitational potential energy has changed from the beginning to the chain just sliding away from the table willl be MgL/24.

The pulley system below uses a gasoline engine to raise a drill head up through a smooth drill pipe. The engine provides a const

polet [3.4K]

NB: The diagram of the pulley system is not shown but the information provided is sufficient to answer the question

Answer:

Power = 2702.56 W

Explanation:

Let the power consumed be P

Energy expended = E = mgh

height, h = 5 m

E = 80 * 9.8 * 5

E = 3920 J

$Power = \frac{Energy}{time}$

To calculate the time, t

From F = ma

F = 900 N

900 = 80 a

a = 900/80

a = 11.25 m/s²

From the equation of motion, $s = ut + 0.5at^{2}$

The drill head starts from rest, u = 0 m/s

$5 = 0 * t + (0.5*11.25*t^{2} )\\5 = 5.625t^{2}\\t^{2} = 5/5.625\\t^{2} = 0.889\\t = 0.943 s$

Power, P = E/t

P = 3920/0.0.943

P = 4157.79 W

But Efficiency, E = 0.65

P = 0.65 * 4157.79

Power = 2702.56 W

Bowling balls are roughly the same size, but come in a variety of weights. Given its official radius of roughly 0.110 m, calcula

velikii [3]

Answer:

6.1328 kg

60.16284 N

Explanation:

r = Radius of ball = 0.11 m

$\rho$ = Density of fluid = $1.1\times 10^3\ kg/m^3$ (Assumed)

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

m = Mass of ball

V = Volume of ball = $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

The weight of the bowling ball will balance the buouyant force

$W=F_b\\\Rightarrow mg=V\rho g\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{V\rho g}{g}\\\Rightarrow m=V\rho\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{4}{3}\pi 0.11^3\times 1.1\times 10^3\\\Rightarrow m=6.1328\ kg$

The mass of the bowling ball will be 6.1328 kg

Weight will be $6.1328\times 9.81=60.16284\ N$

How much work does a student (m = 60 kg) do when he Climb a tower 80 m high?

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

W = 47040 J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a student, m = 60 kg

Height of the tower, h = 80 m

We need to find the work done in climbing the tower. The work done is given by :

W = mgh

So,

W = 60 × 9.8 × 80

W = 47040 J

So, the required work done is 47040 J.

Bernice draws an oxygen atom. She draws a small circle for the nucleus. Inside of the circle, she draws plus signs for protons a

Lelu [443]

Answer

It should be A and C

Explanation:

because oxygen is number 8 in the periodic table of elements and has a atomic weight of 15.999 you use those numbers to figure out what is true between those.

The 8 for oxygen goes for the number of electrons and proton and to find neutrons u round the 15.999 up which now make it 16 and subtract it by the 8 now you have 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons
