A crane at a construction site lifts a concrete block with a mass of m = 344 kg from the ground to the top of a building with a

height of h = 18.3 m. How much work did the motor of the crane do? (Assume zero energy loss in the lifting mechanism due to friction.)

Answer: Work that the motor of the crane do is 61122 joules.

Explanation:

Work is defined as the force resulting into displacement of an object.

w=m\times g\times h

w = work done

m= mass of object = 334 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 10ms^{-2}

h = height of an object  = 18.3 m

Putting in the values:

w=334\times 10ms^{-2}\times 18.3m=61122Joules

Thus work that the motor of the crane do is 61122 joules

During conduction, thermal energy is transferred
Serga [27]

Answer:

from fast-moving to slow-moving particles during particle collisions.

Explanation:

The molecules in every substance are constantly in random motion, which is called thermal motion. This means that they continuously move in random directions with random velocities. In particular, their speed depends on the temperature of the substance: the higher the temperature, the higher the average kinetic energy of the particles, the higher their speed.

However, not all particles move with same speed: some of them move faster, some of them move slower.

Since there are many particles, quite often these particles collide with each other: in the collision, energy is transferred from one particle to another.

In conduction, which is one of the 3 methods of heat transfer (the other 2 being conduction and radiation), the heat is transferred via collision between the molecules.

In particular, according to the laws of thermodynamics, energy is always transferred from particles moving faster (which have therefore more energy) to particles moving slower (which have therefore less energy).

So the correct answer is

from fast-moving to slow-moving particles during particle collisions.

The pressure at the bottom of a lake is 300 000 N/m2 more than at the surface of the lake. The lake is fresh water (density = 10
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

h = 30.61 m

Explanation:

In this problem they indicate the pressure at the bottom of the lake and the density of the water, for which they must ask what is the depth of the lake.

The pressure is given by the expression

           P = P_{atm} + rho g h

           P - P_{atm} = rho g h

       

The gauge pressure value is P- P_{atm} = 3 105 N / m²

          h = \frac{P - P_{atm}}{ \rho \ g}

let's calculate

          h = \frac{3 \ 10^5}{1000 \ 9.8}

          h = 30.61 m

Consider an eraser, weighing 20g, sitting 5cm from the center of a turntable (flat disk attached to a motor which can spin the d
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

A. 42.3 revolution per minute

B. Centripetal Force

Explanation:

20 g = 0.02 kg

5 cm = 0.05 m

Let g = 9.8 m/s2

A.The friction force acting on the eraser is the product of normal force and its coefficient:

F_f = N\mu = mg\mu = 0.02*9.8*0.1 = 0.0196 N

For the eraser to begin slipping, its centripetal acceleration must win over the acceleration created by friction force, which is

a_f = F_f / m = 0.0196 / 0.02 = 0.98 m/s^2 = a_c

We can calculate the angular velocity from this:

a_c = \omega^2 r

where r = 0.05 is the radius of rotation, which is distance from the center to the eraser

\omega^2 = a_c/r = 0.98 / 0.05 = 19.6

\omega = \sqrt{19.6} = 4.43 rad/s

If it spins and angle of 4.43 rad per second then for every minute (60 seconds) it would spin an angle of 4.43 * 60 = 265.6 rad/min

Since 1 revolution is 2π rad, then in a minute it would spin 265.6 / 2π = 42.3 revolution/minute

B. The force responsible for making the eraser go faster while the turntable is spinning up would be the centripetal force.

How do forces affect the motion of an object?
cricket20 [7]

Explanation:

Unbalanced Forces in Action

Unbalanced forces can change the motion of an object in two ways. ... Second, when unbalanced forces act on a moving object, the velocity of the object will change. Remember that a change in velocity means a change in speed, direction or both speed and direction.
