How much work is done lifting a 12-m chain that is initially coiled on the ground and has a density 2 kg/m so that its top end i

Answer:

2587.2 J.

Explanation:

From potential energy,

The work done to lift the chain = potential energy of the chain.

W = mgh............... Equation 1

Where W = work done to lift the chain, m = mass of the chain, g = acceleration due to gravity of the chain, h = height of the chain.

But,

m = m'd............... Equation 2

Where m' = density of the chain, d = length of the chain.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

W = m'dgh................ Equation 3

Given: m' = 2 kg/m, d = 12 m, h = 11 m, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 3

W = 2(12)(11)(9.8)

W = 2587.2 J.

Before you even look at the questions, look over the graph, so you know what kind of information is there.

The x-axis is "time".  OK.  You know that as the graph moves from left to right, it shows what's happening as time goes on.

The y-axis is "speed" of something.  OK.  When the graph is high, the thing is moving fast.  When the graph is low, the thing is moving slow.  When the graph slopes up, the thing is gaining speed.  When the graph slopes down, the thing is slowing down.  When the graph is flat, the speed isn't changing, so the thing is moving at a constant speed.

NOW you can look at the questions.

OMG !  It's only ONE question:  What's happening from 'c' to 'd' ?  Well I don't know.  Perhaps we can figure it out if we LOOK AT THE GRAPH !

-- Between c and d, the graph is flat.  The speed is not changing.  It's the same speed at d as it was back at c .

What speed is it ?

-- Look back at the y-axis.  The speed at the height of c and d is 'zero' .

-- The 2nd and 4th choices are both correct.  From c to d, <em>the speed is constant</em>.  The constant speed is zero.  <em>The car is not moving</em>.

(C)

Explanation:

t = 2\pi \sqrt{ \frac{l}{g} }

If g is only 1/6 on another planet, then

t = 2\pi \sqrt{ \frac{l}{ \frac{g}{6} } } =  2\pi \sqrt{ \frac{6l}{g} }

=  \sqrt{6} \: (2\pi \sqrt{ \frac{l}{g} } ) = 2.4  \times t(on \: earth)

ivann1987 [24]

No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings.

Hope this helped you
