A 1 900-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 4.00 m before coming into contact

with the top of the beam, and it drives the beam 15.8 cm farther into the ground before coming to rest. Using energy considerations, calculate the average force the beam exerts on the pile driver while the pile driver is brought to rest.

Answer:

471392.4 N

Explanation:

From the question,

Just before contact with the beam,

mgh = Fd.................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the beam, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height. F =  average Force on the beam, d = distance.

make f the subject of the equation

F = mgh/d................ Equation 2

Given: m = 1900 kg, h = 4 m, d = 15.8 = 0.158 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

F = 1900(4)(9.8)/0.158

F = 471392.4 N

In diving to a depth of 248 m, an elephant seal also moves 296 m due east of his starting point. What is the magnitude of the se
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The displacement is 386.16m

Explanation:

A seal dives to a depth of 248m. To find displacement, we must calculate the resultant vectors which will give us the displacement

R= sqrt(vector1+vector2)

Since this is a right angle triangle

R= sqrt(248^2 + 296^2)

R= sqrt(149120)

R= 386.16m

Displacement = 386.16m

Consider dropping a ball from rest. This ball moves from astate of high gravitational potential energy to one of lowgravitationa
Leni [432]

Answer:

From the negative to the positive cable.

Explanation:

The electrons have negative charge, which means that the negative terminal of the battery will suply the electrons, thus they are present in excess on the negative cable and will jump from it to the positive cable. This current direction is called real current.

A typical wall outlet voltage in the United States is 120 volts. Personal MP3 players require much smaller voltages, typically 4
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Number of turns on the secondary coil of the adapter transformer is 10.

Explanation:

For a transformer,

    \frac{V_{s} }{V_{p} } = \frac{N_{s} }{N_{p} }

where V_{s} is the voltage induced in the secondary coil

           V_{p} is the voltage in the primary coil

          N_{s} is the number of turns of secondary coil

         N_{p} is the number of turns of primary coil

From the given question,

    \frac{487*10^{-3} }{120} = \frac{N_{s} }{2464}

⇒    N_{s} = \frac{2462*487*10^{-3} }{120}

            = 9.999733

  ∴   N_{s} = 10 turns
