In a shipping yard, a crane operator attaches a cable to a 1240-kg shipping container and then uses the crane to lift the contai
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of ship =1240 kg

height=37 m

(a)Work done by Tension in cable+work done by gravity =0

Work done by gravity =change in potential energy of mass=-1240\times 9.8\times 37=-449.624 kJ

Thus work done by tension=449.624 kJ

(b)work done by force of gravity=-mg\times h=-1240\times 9.8\times 37=-449.624 kJ

Tarzan (who has mass 80.0 kg) is running across the jungle floor with speed 7.00 m/s as
Lesechka [4]

<u>We are given:</u>

Mass of Tarzan before swinging = 80 kg

Mass of Tarzan when swinging = 80 + 15 = 95 kg

Velocity of Tarzan = 7 m/s

The height of the rock Tarzan's monkey is sitting on = 3 m

__________________________________________________________

<u>Momentum of Tarzan before swinging:</u>

We know that:

Momentum = Mass*Velocity

Momentum = 80 * 7

Momentum = 560 kg m/s

__________________________________________________________

<u>Speed of Tarzan after grabbing the bananas:</u>

The momentum of Tarzan will remain the same but his mass will increase

So, Since Momentum = New Mass* velocity

560 = 95 * v                           [where v is the velocity of Tarzan]

v = 5.9 m/s

<u>__________________________________________________________</u>

<h3><u>Finding the Initial and Final KE and PE:</u></h3>

<em>Here, KE = Kinetic Energy and PE = Potential Energy</em>

<u>Initial and Final KE:</u>

We know that KE = 1/2*(mv²)

<u>Initial KE:</u>

Initial KE = 1/2*(mv²)          [where v is the velocity after picking the bananas]

Initial KE = 1/2*(95*5.9²)

Initial KE = 1653.5 Joules

<u>Final KE:</u>

Final KE = 1/2*(mv²)            

<em>[where v is the velocity at the maximum point of the swing]</em>

Since Tarzan will be at rest at the maximum point of the swing, v = 0 m/s

Final KE = 1/2*(95*0²)

Final KE = 0 Joules

<u>Initial and Final PE:</u>

We know that:

PE = mgh                

<em>[where g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height]</em>

<u>Initial PE:</u>

Since the height of Tarzan from the ground was 0 m at the beginning of the swing, h = 0

Initial PE = 95*10*0

Initial PE = 0 Joules

<u>Final PE:</u>

Let the maximum height of Tarzan be h m

Final PE = 95*10*h

Final PE = 950(h)

__________________________________________________________

<h3><u>Finding the maximum height Tarzan will reach:</u></h3>

<em>Here, KE = Kinetic Energy and PE = Potential Energy</em>

From the law of conservation of momentum, we know that:

Initial KE + Initial PE = Final KE + Final PE

Replacing the variables:

1653.5 + 0 = 0 + 950h

1653.5 = 950h

h = 1653.5/950         [dividing both sides by 950]

h = 1.74 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by Tarzan is 1.74 m

but since his monkey is sitting 3 m high, he will NOT be able to reach his monkey

An empty rubber balloon has a mass of 12.5 g. The balloon is filled with helium at a density of 0.181 kg/m3. At this density the
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: 1.14 N

Explanation :

As any body submerged in a fluid, it receives an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid removed by the body, which can be expressed as follows:

Fb = δair . Vb . g = 1.29 kg/m3 . 4/3 π (0.294)3  m3. 9.8 m/s2

Fb = 1.34 N

In the downward direction, we have 2 external forces acting upon the balloon: gravity and the tension in the line, which sum must be equal to the buoyant force, as the balloon is at rest.

We can get the gravity force as follows:

Fg = (mb +mhe) g  

The mass of helium can be calculated as the product of the density of the helium times the volume of the balloon (assumed to be a perfect sphere), as follows:

MHe = δHe . 4/3 π (0.294)3 m3 = 0.019 kg

Fg = (0.012 kg + 0.019 kg) . 9.8 m/s2 = 0.2 N

Equating both sides of Newton´s 2nd Law in the vertical direction:

T + Fg = Fb

T = Fb – Fg = 1.34 N – 0.2 N = 1.14 N
