Answer:

$W=1837.5J$

Explanation:

A force exerts work when there is a displacement of its point of application in the direction of that force. Therefore, the work done by a system is defined as the inner product between the applied force and the displacement:

$W=\vec{F}\cdot \vec{d}\\W=Fcos\theta d$

In this case, we have:

$F=mg\\h=dcos\theta$

So, replacing this:

$W=mgh\\W=75kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}*2.5m\\W=1837.5J$

Using the same cost and time estimates, consider any trade-offs that SciTech may have to make to complete the project.

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Oracio is the most cost-effective choice because he would cost the least to complete the project. However, he would also take the longest amount of time. Camilla could complete the job the fastest, but she costs more than Oracio. SciTech will have to decide if it is more important to save money or complete the work quickly to meet the deadline.

Hope this helps :)

CClassify each characteristic of sound waves.

Alex787 [66]

Explanation : Explain each characteristic of sound waves.

Intensity : the intensity of the sound wave is understand as the power carry by sound wave per unit area in the direction perpendicular to that area.

Loudness : loudness is the quality of the loud and soft of the sound wave.

Frequency : Human normal hear sound frequency between 20 Hz to kHz.

Pitch : Pitch is the quality of low and high of sound wave . pitch relates to the frequency of the slowest vibration in the sound wave for simple sound.

A large airplane typically has three sets of wheels: one at the front and two farther back, one on each side under the wings. Co

Tems11 [23]

(a) The force the ground exerts on each set of rear wheels when the plane is at rest on the runway is 0.743 MN.

(b) The force the ground exerts on the front set of wheels is 0.239 MN.

<h3>Center mass of the airplane</h3>

The concept of center mass of an object can be used to dtermine the mass distribution of the airplane along the line through the center.

<h3>Some assumptions</h3>

The wheels under the wind do not pass through the center line.
The position of the front wheel is constant and it is zero mark (origin).
The rear wheels are at 21.7 m mark

Position of the center mass of the plane is calculated as follows;

Let the position of the center mass, Xcm = y

the center mass is 3 m in front of rear wheels, that is

21.7 - y = 3

y = 21.7 - 3

y = 18.7 m

Xcm = 18.7 m

<h3>Mass of the plane at the position of the rear wheels</h3>

Let the mass of the plane at front wheels = M1

Let the mass of the plane at rear wheels = M2

$X_{cm} = \frac{M_1x_1 + M_2x_2}{M_1 + M_2}$

$18.7 = \frac{M_1(0) + M_2(21.7)}{177000} \\\\3,309,900 = 21.7M_2\\\\M_2 = \frac{3,309,900}{21.7} \\\\M_2 = 152,529.95 \ kg$

<h3>Force exerted by the ground on each rear wheel</h3>

There are two rear wheels, and the force exerted on each wheel due to mass of the airplane at this position is calculated as follows;

$W = mg\\\\W_1 = W_2 = \frac{1}{2} (mg) = \frac{1}{2} (152,529.95 \times 9.8) = 743,396.76 \ N= 0.743 \ MN$

<h3>Mass of the plane at the position of the front wheel</h3>

M1 + M2 = 177,000

M1 = 177,000 - M2

M1 = 177,000 - 152,529.95

M1 = 24,470.05 kg

<h3>Force exerted by the ground on the front wheel</h3>

W = mg

W = 24,470.05 x 9.8

W = 239,806.5 N = 0.239 MN
