A 1400 kg wrecking ball hangs from a 20-m-long cable. the ball is pulled back until the cable makes an angle of 30.0 ∘ with the

vertical.part aby how much has the gravitational potential energy of the ball changed?

From the geometry of the problem, the 20 m-long cable creates the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the extended of the other two sides of size 20 m * cos(30 deg), which is around 17.3 m. Therefore, the ball has increased by 20 m - 17.3 m = 2.7 m.

The potential energy will have altered by m*g*h, which is 1400 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1.6 m , or about 37044 joules.

The gravitational potential energy of the ball changes by about

37000 J

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall the formula of Gravitational Potential Energy as follows:

$\large {\boxed {E_p = mgh }$

<em>Ep = Gravitational Potential Energy ( Newton )</em>

<em>m = Object's Mass ( kg )</em>

<em>g = Gravitational Acceleration ( m )</em>

<em>h = Height ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

mass of wrecking ball = m = 1400 kg

length of the cable = L = 20 m

angle with the vertical = θ = 30.0°

<u>Asked:</u>

gravitational potential energy = Ep = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

$Ep = m g h$

$Ep = m g (L - L\cos \theta)$

$Ep = 1400 ( 9.8 ) ( 20 - 20 \cos 30^o )$

$Ep = 13720 ( 20 - 10\sqrt{3} )$

$Ep \approx 37000 \texttt{ J}$

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

The gravitational potential energy of the ball changes by about

37000 J

Ricardo, of mass 80 kg, and Carmelita, who is lighter, are enjoying Lake Merced at dusk in a 30 kg canoe. When the canoe is at r

Deffense [45]

Answer:

m=57.65 kg

Explanation:

Given Data

Ricardo mass m₁=80 kg

Canoe mass m₂=30 kg

Canoe Length L= 3 m

Canoe moves x=40 cm

When Canoe was at rest the net total torque is zero.

Let the center of mass is at x distance from the canoe center and it will be towards the Ricardo cause. So the toque around the center of mass is given as

$m_{1}(L/2-x)=m_{2}x+m_{2}(L/2-x)$

We have to find m₂.To find the value of m₂ first we need figure out the value of.As they changed their positions the center of mass moved to other side by distance 2x.

so

2x=40

x=40/2

x=20 cm

Substitute in the above equation we get

$m_{x}=\frac{m_{1}(L/2-x)-m_{2}x }{L/2+x}\\m_{x}=\frac{80(\frac{3}{2}-0.2 )-30*0.2}{3/2+0.2}\\m_{x}=57.65 kg$

Fill in the blanks for the following:

storchak [24]

Answer:

<em>a. 4.21 moles</em>

<em>b. 478.6 m/s</em>

<em>c. 1.5 times the root mean square velocity of the nitrogen gas outside the tank</em>

Explanation:

Volume of container = 100.0 L

Temperature = 293 K

pressure = 1 atm = 1.01325 bar

number of moles n = ?

using the gas equation PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

R = 0.08206 L-atm- $mol^{-1}$ $K^{-1}$

Therefore,

n = (1.01325 x 100)/(0.08206 x 293)

n = 101.325/24.04 = <em>4.21 moles</em>

The equation for root mean square velocity is

Vrms = $\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M} }$

R = 8.314 J/mol-K

where M is the molar mass of oxygen gas = 31.9 g/mol = 0.0319 kg/mol

Vrms = $\sqrt{\frac{3*8.314*293}{0.0319} }$ = <em>478.6 m/s</em>

<em>For Nitrogen in thermal equilibrium with the oxygen, the root mean square velocity of the nitrogen will be proportional to the root mean square velocity of the oxygen by the relationship</em>

$\frac{Voxy}{Vnit}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{Mnit}{Moxy} }$

where

Voxy = root mean square velocity of oxygen = 478.6 m/s

Vnit = root mean square velocity of nitrogen = ?

Moxy = Molar mass of oxygen = 31.9 g/mol

Mnit = Molar mass of nitrogen = 14.00 g/mol

$\frac{478.6}{Vnit}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{14.0}{31.9} }$

$\frac{478.6}{Vnit}$ = 0.66

Vnit = 0.66 x 478.6 = <em>315.876 m/s</em>

<em>the root mean square velocity of the oxygen gas is </em>

<em>478.6/315.876 = 1.5 times the root mean square velocity of the nitrogen gas outside the tank</em>

A racquetball strikes a wall with a speed of 30 m/s and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 26 m/s. The collision

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the ball during the collision with the wall is $a=2,800m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

<u>Known Data</u>

We will asume initial speed has a negative direction, $v_{i}=-30m/s$ , final speed has a positive direction, $v_{f}=26m/s$ , $\Delta t=20ms=0.020s$ and mass $m_{b}$ .

<u>Initial momentum</u>

$p_{i}=mv_{i}=(-30m/s)(m_{b})=-30m_{b}\ m/s$

<u>final momentum</u>

$p_{f}=mv_{f}=(26m/s)(m_{b})=26m_{b}\ m/s$

<u>Impulse</u>

$I=\Delta p=p_{f}-p_{i}=26m_{b}\ m/s-(-30m_{b}\ m/s)=56m_{b}\ m/s$

<u>Average Force</u>

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} =\frac{56m_{b}\ m/s}{0.020s} =2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}$

<u>Average acceleration</u>

$F=ma$ , so $a=\frac{F}{m_{b}}$ .

Therefore, $a=\frac{2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}}{m_{b}} =2800m/s^{2}$

Dry cells become soft even when not in use. Explain.

mamaluj [8]

This is possible due to self-discharge. Very small internal currents inevitably occur in these cells over time and they will eventually exhaust the chemistry.
