Answer:

The work done by gravity moving the box up is -514.5 Joules.

Explanation:

The gravity acts in the direction of the displacement, which in this case is negative (ground - top shelf), and so the resulting work is negative. The work is calculated as:

W_g = mg\Delta h = 30kg\cdot 9.8\frac{m}{s^2}\cdot(0-1.75)m=-514.5J

The work done by gravity moving the box up is -514.5 Joules.

Answer:

Δθ₁ =  172.5 rev

Δθ₁h =  43.1 rev

Δθ₂ =   920 rev

Δθ₂h = 690 rev

Explanation:

  • Assuming uniform angular acceleration, we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the total angle rotated during the acceleration process, from rest to its operating speed:

       \Delta \theta = \frac{1}{2} *\alpha *(\Delta t)^{2}  (1)  

  • Now, we need first to find the value of  the angular acceleration, that we can get from the following expression:

       \omega_{f1}  = \omega_{o} + \alpha * \Delta t  (2)

  • Since the machine starts from rest, ω₀ = 0.
  • We know the value of ωf₁ (the operating speed) in rev/min.
  • Due to the time is expressed in seconds, it is suitable to convert rev/min to rev/sec, as follows:

       3450 \frac{rev}{min} * \frac{1 min}{60s} = 57.5 rev/sec (3)

  • Replacing by the givens in (2):

       57.5 rev/sec = 0 + \alpha * 6 s  (4)

  • Solving for α:

       \alpha = \frac{\omega_{f1}}{\Delta t} = \frac{57.5 rev/sec}{6 sec} = 9.6 rev/sec2 (5)

  • Replacing (5) and Δt in (1), we get:

       \Delta \theta_{1} = \frac{1}{2} *\alpha *(\Delta t)^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 6.9 rev/sec2* 36 sec2 = 172.5 rev  (6)

  • in order to get the number of revolutions during the first half of this period, we need just to replace Δt in (6) by Δt/2, as follows:

       \Delta \theta_{1h} = \frac{1}{2} *\alpha *(\Delta t/2)^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 6.9 rev/sec2* 9 sec2 = 43.2 rev  (7)

  • In order to get the number of revolutions rotated during the deceleration period, assuming constant deceleration, we can use the following kinematic equation:

       \Delta \theta = \omega_{o} * \Delta t + \frac{1}{2} *\alpha *(\Delta t)^{2}  (8)

  • First of all, we need to find the value of the angular acceleration during the second period.
  • We can use again (2) replacing by the givens:
  • ωf =0 (the machine finally comes to an stop)
  • ω₀ = ωf₁ = 57.5 rev/sec
  • Δt = 32 s

       0 = 57.5 rev/sec + \alpha * 32 s  (9)

  • Solving for α in (9), we get:

       \alpha_{2}  =- \frac{\omega_{f1}}{\Delta t} = \frac{-57.5 rev/sec}{32 sec} = -1.8 rev/sec2 (10)

  • Now, we can replace the values of ω₀, Δt and α₂ in (8), as follows:

        \Delta \theta_{2}  = (57.5 rev/sec*32) s -\frac{1}{2} * 1.8 rev/sec2\alpha *(32s)^{2} = 920 rev (11)

  • In order to get finally the number of revolutions rotated during the first half of the second period, we need just to replace 32 s by 16 s, as follows:
  • \Delta \theta_{2h}  = (57.5 rev/sec*16 s) -\frac{1}{2} * 1.8 rev/sec2\alpha *(16s)^{2} = 690 rev (12)

Who was theJewish patriarch asked to sacrifice his son
juin [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Abraham

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

This story can be found in the bible, in Genesis 22. According to the story, the Lord tested Abraham's faith asking him to sacrifice Isaac his son in a mountain in the land of Moriah. Abraham traveled with his son three days until he found the place the Lord has established for the sacrifice. There, Abraham tied his son and laid him on the altar on top of a wood he had prepared. Abraham  picked up a knife to kill his son as a sacrifice but the Lord called him from heaven saying: <em>"Do not hurt him in any way, for now I know that you truly fear God. You have not withheld from me even your son, your only son"</em>
