Answer:

Total Work=2275000 ft-lb

Explanation:

According to Riemann sum approximate for work needed to lift the cable:

W= \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{i=1}^n8x_i\Delta x

Sine we have to add 650 terms because distance 650 ft, we will us the integration.

W=\int\limits^a_b {f(x)} \, dx \\W=\int\limits^{650}_0 {8x} \, dx \\W=[4x^2]_0^{650}\\W=4(650)^2-0^2\\W=4*422500 ft-lb\\W=1690000 ft-lb

Work done on lifting:

W_1=900*650\\W_1=585000 ft-lb

Total Work= W+W_1

Total Work=1690000+585000

Total Work=2275000 ft-lb

In an isolated system, Bicycle 1 and Bicycle 2, each with a mass of 10 kg,
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: 20 kgm/s

Explanation:

Given that M1 = M2 = 10kg

V1 = 5 m/s , V2 = 3 m/s

Since momentum is a vector quantity, the direction of the two object will be taken into consideration.

The magnitude of their combined

momentum before the crash will be:

M1V1 - M2V2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

10 × 5 - 10 × 3

50 - 30

20 kgm/s

Therefore, the magnitude of their combined momentum before the crash will be 20 kgm/s

Two technicians are discussing an engine with an interference design. Technician A says if a valve remains open when its cylinde
maksim [4K]

Answer: Both Technician A and B are right.

Explanation:

Both Technicians are correct. when a valve remains open as it approaches the TDC(top dead center), they piston may strike the valve which would result to damage of the engine. Same applies when it is open as it approaches the top dead center as a valve train damage may occur. As the driven train is responsible for providing power to the wheels from the engine block.

What is the energy stored, in units of nanoJoules, on a 14.8 nF capacitor when the voltage applied across the capacitor is 7.2 V
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

383.6 nJ

Explanation:

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by the formula:

E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

where

C is the capacitance

V is the voltage applied

In this problem, we have

C = 14.8 nF is the capacitance of the capacitor

V = 7.2 V is the voltage

Substituting into the equation, we find:

E=\frac{1}{2}(14.8 nF)(7.2 V)^2=383.6 nJ
