A crowbar 27 in. long is pivoted 8 in. from the end. What force must be applied at the long end in order to lift a 600 lb object

at the short end?

pivot = 8 in

Balance lenght = 27 in - 8 in = 19 in

Load x load arm = Force x force arm

Replacing:

600 lb * 8 in = F * 19

Solve for F

F = 600 * 8 / 19

F= 252.6 lb

The following three hot samples have the same temperature. The same amount of heat is removed from each sample. Which one experi

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Smallest drop: Water

Largest drop: Dirt

Explanation:

The heat needed to change the temperature of a sample is:

$Q=cm\Delta T$ (1)

with Q the heat (added(+) or removed(-)), c specific heat, m the mass and $\Delta T$ the change in temperature of the sample. So, if we solve (1) for

Sample A:

$\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{4186*4.0}$

$\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{16744}$

Sample B:

$\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{2700*2.0}$

$\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{5400}$

Sample C:

$\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{1050*9.0}$

$\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{9450}$

Note that the numbers 16744, 5400, 9450 are in the denominator of the expression $-\frac{Q}{cm}$ that gives the drop on temperature. so, if Q is the same for the three samples the smallest denominator gives the largest drop and vice versa.

So, the smallest drop is Sample A and the largest is Sample C.

(Important: The minus sign of $\Delta T$ implies the temperature is dropping)

Find the net work W done on the particle by the external forces during the motion of the particle in terms of the initial and fi

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

$W=K_f-K_i$

Explanation:

The work done on a particle by external forces is defined as:

$W=\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i} {F\cdot dr} \,$

According to Newton's second law $F=ma$ . Thus:

$W=\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i}{ma\cdot dr} \,\\$

Acceleration is defined as the derivative of the speed with respect to time:

$W=m\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i}{\frac{dv}{dt}\cdot dr} \,\\\\W=m\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i}{dv \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}} \,$

Speed is defined as the derivative of the position with respect to time:

$W=m\int\limits^{v_f}_{v_i} v \cdot dv \,$

Kinetic energy is defined as $K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$ :

$W=m\frac{v_f^2}{2}-m\frac{v_i^2}{2}\\W=K_f-K_i$
