after a large snowstorm you shovel 2000 kilograms of snow off your side walk in 1 hour. you lift the shovel to an average height

of 1.25 meters while you are piling the snow in your yard. how much work did you do?

Lifting a mass to a height, you give it gravitational potential energy of

       (mass) x (gravity) x (height)  joules.

To give it that much energy, that's how much work you do on it.

If 2,000 kg gets lifted to 1.25 meters off the ground, its potential energy is

         (2,000) x (9.8) x (1.25) = 24,500 joules.

If you do it in 1 hour (3,600 seconds), then the average power is

           (24,500 joules) / (3,600 seconds) = 6.8 watts.

None of these figures depends on whether the load gets lifted all at once,
or one shovel at a time, or one flake at a time.

But this certainly is NOT all the work you do.  When you get a shovelful
of snow 1.25 meters off the ground, you don't drop it and walk away, and
it doesn't just float there. You typically toss it, away from where it was laying
and over onto a pile in a place where you don't care if there's a pile of snow
there. In order to toss it, you give it some kinetic energy, so that it'll continue
to sail over to the pile when it leaves the shovel.  All of that kinetic energy
must also come from work that you do ... nobody else is going to take it
from you and toss it onto the pile.

A 3.63.kgkg chihuahua charges at a speed of 3.3m/s3.3m/s. What is the magnitude of the average force needed to bring the chihuah
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

23.96 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of Chihuahua (m) = 3.63 kg

Velocity (v) = 3.3m/s

Time (t) = 0.50 s

Force (F) =?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the Chihuahua. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity (v) = 3.3m/s

Time (t) = 0.50 s

Acceleration (a) =?

a = v/t

a = 3.3/0.5

a = 6.6 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration of the Chihuahua is 6.6 m/s².

Finally, we shall determine the force need to stop the Chihuahua as shown below:

Mass of Chihuahua (m) = 3.63 kg

Acceleration (a) = 6.6 m/s².

Force (F) =?

F = ma

F = 3.63 × 6.6

F = 23.96 N

Therefore, a force of 23.96 N is needed to stop the Chihuahua.

Uma massa de 500 Kg desloca-se com velocidade 58 km por hora. Calcule o módulo de sua quantidade por movimento
Simora [160]

The momentum of the object is 8050 kg m/s

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is defined as

p=mv

where

p is the momentum

m is the mass

v is the velocity of the object

For the object in this problem, we have

m = 500 kg is its mass

v = 58 km/h is its velocity

Converting the velocity into m/s,

v=58 \frac{km}{h}\cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=16.1 m/s

Therefore now we can find the momentum of the object:

p=(500)(16.1)=8050 kg m/s

At a distance of 0.208 cm from the center of a charged conducting sphere with radius 0.100cm, the electric field is 485 n/c . wh
Anna35 [415]

We have the equation for electric field E = kQ/d^{2}

Where k is a constant, Q is the charge of source and d is the distance from center.

In this case E is inversely proportional to d^{2}

So, \frac{E_{1} }{E_{2}} = \frac{d_{2}^{2}}{d_{1}^{2}}

E_{1} = 485 N/C

d_{1} = 0.208 cm

d_{2} = 0.620 cm

E_{2} = ?

\frac{485 }{E_{2}} = \frac{0.620^{2}}{0.208^{2}}

E_{2} = \frac{485*0.208^{2}}{0.628^{2}}

E_{2} = 53.20 N/C
