A cable that weighs 8 lb/ft is used to lift 900 lb of coal up a mine shaft 650 ft deep. Find the work done. Show how to approxim

ate the required work by a Riemann sum. (Let x be the distance in feet below the top of the shaft. Enter xi* as xi.)

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

Which activity would be an appropriate first step

andriy [413]

Answer:

B. Researching the problem, using information from a variety of sources

Explanation:

First you must create a hypothesis because with out a hypothesis you can’t do the experiment. Then you have to do some research on your problem/ hypothesis from reliable sources. After have your research you can organize your data with a data table or chart. Then when have your research look for the independent and dependent variable and the control. Then you have to make a conclusion based on multiple experimental trials then repeat the experiment and if it ends up different from the first then something is wrong and that means that you did something wrong. Hopefully this helps you :)

A completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of wet putty that move directly toward each other along a vertical axi

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

the balls reached a height of 4.9985 m

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass one m = 3.8 kg

mass two M = 2.1 kg

Initial velocities

u = 22 m/s

U = { moving downward} = 12 m/s

Now, using the law conservation of linear moment;

mu + MU = v( m + M )

we solve for "v" which is the velocity of the ball s after collision;

v = (mu + MU) / ( m + M )

so we substitute our given values into the equation

v = ( ( 3.8 × 22 ) + ( 2.1 × -12) ) / ( 3.8 + 2.1 )

v = ( 83.6 - 25.2 ) / 5.9

v = 58.4 / 5.9

v = 9.898 m/s

Now, we determine required height using the following relation;

v"² - v² = 2gh

where v" is the velocity at the top which is 0 m/s and g = -9.8 m/s²

0 - v² = 2gh

v² = -2gh

so we substitute

( 9.898 )² = -2 × -9.8 × h

97.97 = 19.6 × h

h = 97.97 / 19.6

h = 4.9985 m

Therefore, the balls reached a height of 4.9985 m

Far out in space, a 100,000-kg rocket and a 200,000-kg rocket are docked at opposite ends of a motionless 90m-long tunnel. The t

postnew [5]

Answer:

a) $X_{cm} = 60m$

b) I = $5.4*10^8Kg*m^2$

c) $T= 4.5*10^6$ N*m

d) a = $8.3*10^{-3}rad/s^2$

e) W= 0.25 rad/s

Explanation:

a) we know that:

$X_{cm} = \frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m1+m2}$

where $X_cm$ is the ubicaton of the center of mass, $m_1$ the mass of the first rocket, $x_1$ its distances with the rocket 1, $m_2$ the mass of the second rocket and $x_2$ its distance with the rocket 1. So, replacing values, we get:

$X_{cm} = \frac{(100,000kg)(0)+(200,000kg)(90m)}{100,000kg+200,000kg}$

$X_{cm} = 60m$

So, the center of mass is at 60m from the rocket 1.

b) we know that:

$I = M_1R_1^2 +M_2R_2^2$

where I is the moment of inertia, $M_1$ is the mass of the rocket 1, $R_1$ its distance from the center of mass, $M_2$ the mass of the second rocket and $R_2$ the distance between the rocket 2 and the center of mass. So, replacing values, we get:

$I = (100,000kg)(60m)^2 +(200,000kg)(30m)^2$

I = $5.4*10^8Kg*m^2$

c) We know that:

T = Fr

where T is the net torque, F is the force and r is the distance between the rocket and the radius. Then:

$FR_1+FR_2 = T$

Replacing values, we get:

50,000N(60m)+50,000N(30m) = T

$T= 4.5*10^6$ N*m

d) We know that:

T = Ia

where T is the net torque, I the moment of inertia and a is the angular aceleration. So, replacing values, we get:

$4.5*10^6Nm = 5.4*10^8Kg*m^2a$

solving for a:

a = $8.3*10^{-3}rad/s^2$

e) Finally, using:

W = at

where W is the angular velocity, a is the angular aceleration and t is the time.

Then, replacing values. we get:

W = ( $8.3*10^{-3}rad/s^2$ )(30s)

W = 0.25 rad/s
