amount of work done is 5880 J

Given:

mass of object = 50kg

Final height = 20m

initial height = 8m

To Find:

amount of work done

Solution:

work is done when a force acts upon an object to cause a displacement. You can calculate the energy transferred, or work done, by multiplying the force by the distance moved in the direction of the force.

The work done by gravity is given by the formula,

W = mgh

W = 50 x 9.8 x ( 20-8)

= 5880 J

So the work done is 5880 J

A uniform rod of length L, mass M, is suspended by two thin strings. Which of the following statements is true
Fantom [35]

Answer:

(d) not enough info

Explanation:

because it doesn't specify where the strings are attached

if it was the two ends of the rod then T1 would be equal to T2

How much work would be needed to raise the payload from the surface of the moon (i.e., x = r) to an altitude of 5r miles above t
Cloud [144]

Let the data is as following

mass of payload = "m"

mass of Moon = "M"

now we know that we place the payload from the position on the surface of moon to the position of 5r from the surface

So in this case we can say that change in the gravitational potential energy is equal to the work done to move the mass from one position to other

so it is given by

W = U_f - U_i

we know that

U_f = -\frac{GMm}{6r}

U_i = -\frac{GMm}{r}

now from above formula

W = -\frac{GMm}{6r} + \frac{GMm}{r}

W = \frac{5GMm}{6r}

so above is the work done to move the mass from surface to given altitude

The lowest point in the state of Louisiana is New Orleans. The city’s elevation is 8 feet below sea level. Write the elevation o
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

-8

Explanation:

sea level is another way of saying zero. If something is above or above sea level it is a positive integer. like a regular number. if something is below sea level it is a negative integer like negative numbers. They said 8 is the elevation but new orleans is BELOW sea level. that means the integer we are looking for is going to be a negative number. 8 is the number they told us and since it is below the sea level. The integer of new orleans that represents its elevation is -8.

A sphere of uniform density with mass 21 kg and radius 0.8 m is spinning, making one complete revolution every 0.8 s. the center
kompoz [17]
Using the equation;
TE = 1/2mv^2(1+2); where k = 2/5 for a solid sphere; V is the velocity, and m is the mass.
Total energy = 0.5 × 21 × 8² (7/5)
                    = 940.8 J
The rotational kinetic energy of the sphere is 940.8 J
