A chain lying on the ground is 11 meters long and its mass is 95 kilograms. The chain is threaded through a pulley, which is fix

ed to the ground, and pulled directly up so that it forms the shape of an L. How much work is required to raise one end of the chain to a height of 7 meters?

Answer: 296.1 J or 6.98 kJ

Explanation:

Given

Length of chain, l = 11 m

Mass of chain, m = 95 kg

It is worthy of note that chain has two ends. So this depends which of the two ends should end up at

the given height of 7 m.

Scenario 1. If it is the leading end:

Weight of chain raised

W = mg/l

W = 9.8×95/11

W = 84.6 N

Height raised = ½ m (which is the height of the centre of gravity of the raised portion).

Work done = 84.6 × 1/2 * 7 = 296.1 Joules

Scenario 2. If it is the trailing end:

Weight of chain raised = 9.8×95 = 931 N.

Height raised (average) = 12.5 m (5.5 m for the chain midpoint + 7 m off the ground)

Work done = 931 × 7.5 = 6.98 kJoules

Thus, the work required is either of 296.1 J or 6.98 kJ

Speed and Motion you went from the starting line to the finish line at different rates. If you repeated the activity while carry
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

It will cause kinetic energy to increase.

Explanation:

Given that Speed and Motion you went from the starting line to the finish line at different rates.

If you repeated the activity while carrying weights but keeping your times the same, the weight carried will add up to the mass of the body.

And since Kinetic energy K.E = 1/2mv^2

Increase in the mass of the body will definitely make the kinetic energy of the body to increase.

Since the time is the same, that means the speed V is the same.

Weight W = mg

m = W/g

The new kinetic energy will be:

K.E = 1/2(M + m)v^2

This means that there will be increase in kinetic energy.

Emily wanted to see what battery lasted the longest. She put each battery into a clock and recorded the time that the clock stop
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

This question is asking to identify the following variables:

Independent variable (IV): Battery

Dependent variable (DV): Time the clock stopped

Constant: Same clock

Control: No stated control

Explanation:

The independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is subject to manipulation or change by the experimenter. In this experiment, the independent variable is the BATTERIES (Duracell, Energizer, Kroger brand, EverReady).

The dependent variable is the variable that responds to the changes made to the independent variable. It is the variable that the experimenter measures. In this case, the dependent variable is the TIME IT TAKES FOR THE CLOCK TO STOP.

Constants or control variable is the variable that the experimenter keeps constant or unchanged for all groups throughout the experiment in order not to influence the outcome of the experiment. The constant in this case is the SAME CLOCK USED.

Control group is the group that does not receive the experimental treatment or independent variable in an experiment. In this case, all groups received a different kind of battery.
