A cable with mass 0.5 kilograms per meter (kg/m) is used to lift 150 kg of coal up a mine shaft 50 meters deep. Set up the integ

ral that will calculate the work needed to lift the load one quarter of the way up the shaft. (Set up the integral only, no need to compute its value.)

Answer:

W=-\int_{0}^{50}[150-0.5y]dy

Explanation:

the integral for the work is:

W=\int\vec{F}\cdot d\vec{l}=\int(-M(y)g)dy

the work is against the gravitational force. While the coal is going up, M(y) is changing due to the length of the cable is lower. We can describe this by using the following formula

M(y)=150kg-0.5\frac{kg}{m}y

Thus , the integral for the work is:

W=-\int_{0}^{50}[150-0.5y]dy

hope this helps!!

6. A 145-g baseball moving 30.5 m/s strikes a stationary 5.75-kg brick resting on small rollers so it moves without significant
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

momentum of baseball before collision

mass x velocity

= .145 x 30.5

= 4.4225 kg m /s

momentum of brick after collision

= 5.75 x 1.1

= 6.325 kg m/s

Applying conservation of momentum

4.4225 + 0 = .145 x v + 6.325 , v is velocity of baseball after collision.

v = - 13.12 m / s

b )

kinetic energy of baseball  before collision = 1/2 mv²

= .5 x .145 x 30.5²

= 67.44 J

Total kinetic energy before collision = 67.44 J

c )

kinetic energy of baseball after collision = 1/2 x .145 x 13.12²

= 12.48 J .

 kinetic energy of brick after collision

= .5 x 5.75 x 1.1²

= 3.48 J

Total kinetic energy after collision

= 15.96 J

You rapidly swirl a mixture of substances with different densities
borishaifa [10]
Having different densities being swirled rapidly will cause sedimentation. Sedimentation is the segmentation of the mixture creating layers of particles of these different densities. The process of rapid swirling is called differential centrifugation. An example use of this method is separation human blood into, red, platelet and white blood cells.

The weights in atwoods machine, starting at rest, attain a velocity of 2ft/sec in one sec. Find the ratio of the masses
Orlov [11]
Refer to the figure shown below.
Let m₁ and m₂ e the two masses.
Let a = the acceleration.
Let T =  tension over the frictionless pulley.

Write the equations of motion.
m₂g - T = m₂a            (1)
T - m₁g = m₁a            (2)

Add equations (1) and (2).
m₂g - T + T - m₁g = (m₁ + m₂)a
(m₂ - m₁)g = (m₁ + m₂)a

Divide through by m₁.
(m₂/m₁ - 1)g = (1 + m₂/m₁)a

Define r = m₂/m₁ as the ratio of the two masses. Then
(r - 1)g = (1 +r)a
r(g-a) = a + g
r = (g - a)/(g + a)

With  = 2 ft/s from rest, the acceleration is
a = 2/32.2 = 0.062 ft/s²
Therefore
r = (32.2 - 0.062)/(32.2 + 0.062) = 0.9962

Answer:
The ratio of masses is 0.9962 (heavier mass divided by the lighter mass).

4.00 kg glass coffee cup is 30.0°C at room temperature. It is then plunged into hot dishwater at a temperature of 90.0°C, as sho
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Q = 200800 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 4kg

Initial temperature = 30.0°C

Final temperature = 90.0°C

Specific heat capacity of glass = 837 J/kg°C

To find the quantity of heat absorbed;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 90 - 30

dt = 60°C

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

Q = 4*837*60

Q = 200800 Joules.

Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed is 200800 Joules.
