A 2100-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 5.00 m before coming into contact w

ith the top of the beam. Then it drives the beam 12.0 cm farther into the ground as it comes to rest. Using energy considerations, calculate the average force the beam exerts on the pile driver while the pile driver is brought to rest. a) m=2100 kg b) Xi=5.00m c) Xf=12.0 cm =.12m

Answer:

   f = 878,080 N

Explanation:

mass of pile driver (m) = 2100 kg

distance of pile driver to steel beam (s) = 5 m

depth of steel driven (d) = 12 cm = 0.12 m

acceleration due to gravity (g0 = 9.8 m/s^{2}

calculate the average force exerted on the pile driver by the beam.

  • from work done = force x distance
  • work done = change in potential energy of the pile driver
  • equating the two equations above we have

               force x distance = m x g x (s - d)

              f x 0.12 = 2100 x 9.8 x (5- (-0.12))

              d = - 0.12 because the steel beam went down at we are taking its  

              initial position to be an origin point which is 0

              f = ( 2100 x 9.8 x (5- (-0.12)) ) ÷ 0.12

                   f = 878,080 N

A 1.5m wire carries a 6 A current when a potential difference of 61 V is applied. What is the resistance of the wire?
Alisiya [41]

Resistance = (voltage) / (current)

For this piece of wire . . .

Resistance = (61 volts) / (6 Amperes)

Resistance = (61/6) (V/A)

<em>Resistance = (10 and 1/6) ohms</em>

Since you know the voltage and current, the length doesn't matter.

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a small vehicle compared to a large vehicle?
Vilka [71]
Well, I may not know the exact answer, but I can confirm because of mass. The more mass an object has, the less control you have on it, so it can't be stopped easily. Let's take a small rock and a boulder for example. When a small rock rolls on the ground, it can easily be stopped by your hand or foot. But when you have to deal with an enormous boulder, you can't easily stop it with one just person. You'll need more people. So the answer is because the smaller vehicle has a lesser mass than the larger vehicle. (if you are looking for the answer, just look at the end.

We can model the motion of a dragonfly's wing as simple harmonic motion. The total distance between the upper and lower limits o
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The maximum speed of the wing tip is 1.25 m/s

Explanation:

In simple harmonic motion, the body experiences a restoring force whose magnitude is directly proportional to the distance from its mean position and its direction is towards the mean position.

The speed in the case of simple harmonic motion is given by the equation :

v = Aωsinωt

Here A is maximum displacement, t is time and ω is the angular frequency of oscillation.

For maximum speed, sinωt = 1 . So, the above equation becomes:

v = Aω

But, ω = 2πf , here f is the frequency of oscillation. So,

v = A x 2πf      .....(1)

In this problem,

Frequency of oscillation, f = 40 Hz

Total distance between the upper and lower limits of motion of wing tip is equal to the twice of maximum displacement of the wing tip from the equilibrium position, i.e. ,

2 x A = 1 cm

A = 0.5 cm = 0.5 x 10⁻² m

Substitute the value of f and A in equation (1).

v=2\pi\times40\times0.5\times10^{-2}

v = 1.25 m/s

Technician A says that the aspect ratio of a tire represents the relationship between the tire's cross-sectional height to its c
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Technician A

Explanation:

Often referred to as the profile or series, the aspect ratio of a tire is determined by dividing a tire’s section height by its section width when the tire is: inflated to maximum air pressure, mounted on the approved measuring rim, and under no load. This rules out Technician B.

A tire with a lower aspect ratio responds to lateral force more effectively than a tire with a higher aspect ratio. The aspect ratio affects steering stability. Generally, the shorter the sidewall, or the lower the aspect ratio, the less time it takes to transmit the steering input from the wheel to the tread. The result is quicker steering response. Aspect ratio also affects the tread contact patch. As a rule, a low-profile tire produces a wider tread contact patch. This wider tread contact patch creates a stiffer footprint that reduces distortion and provides improved cornering traction. Aspect ratio also impacts ride. A low-profile tire usually has a stiffer ride than the standard aspect ratio of 75 or more.
