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

1. Is there a relationship between the volume of water displaced and the total volume of the block that has anything to do with
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The volume of the block is equal to the volume of water displaced by the block.

Explanation:

Volume refers to the amount of space occupied by a given object (in this case the block). When an object such as the block is immersed in water, it displaces its own volume of water. This volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the block. Hence we can write;

Final Volume of water - Initial Volume of water= Water Displaced = Volume of the block

Recall that the density of a body is given by;

Density= mass/volume

If we obtain the volume of the block by measuring the volume of water displaced by the block, then we weigh the block using a weighing balance, we can obtain the density of the block easily from the relationship shown above.

A 645 g block is released from rest at height h0 above a vertical spring with spring constant k = 530 N/m and negligible mass. T
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a)5.88J

b)-5.88J

c)0.78m

d)0.24m

Explanation:

a) W by the block on spring is given by

W= \frac{1}{2}kx² = \frac{1}{2}(530)(0.149)² =  5.88 J

b)  Workdone by the spring = - Workdone by the block = -5.88J

c) Taking x = 0 at the contact point we have U top = U bottom

So, mgh_o = \frac{1}{2}kx² - mgx

And, h_o= ( \frac{1}{2}kx² - mgx )/(mg) = [\frac{1}{2} (530)(0.149^2)-(0.645)(9.8)(0.149)]/(0.645x9.8)    

   h_o=   0.78m            

d) Now, if the initial initial height of block is 3h_o

h_o = 3 x 0.78 = 2.34m

then, \frac{1}{2}kx² - mgx - mgh_o =0

 

\frac{1}{2}(530)x²  - [(0.645)(9.8)x] - [(0.645)(9.8)(2.34) = 0

265x² - 6.321x - 14.8 = 0  

a=265

b=-6.321

c=-14.8

By using quadratic eq. formula, we'll have the roots

x= 0.24 or x=-0.225

Considering only positive root:

x= 0.24m (maximum  compression of the spring)

Define amoeba what are your plans ​
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Amoeba (plural = amoebae) is a well known genus of unicellular organism, a protist. One of its most common species, the Amoeba Proteus, is about 0.2 to 0.3 mm large. The amoeba was first discovered by August Von Rosenhof in 1757.[1] It is a genus of protozoa that moves with false feet, called pseudopodia.

A ball thrown horizontally from a point 30.0 m above the ground strikes the ground after travelling a horizontal distance of 18.
AURORKA [14]

The components of the ball's position r at time t are

\begin{cases}r_x(t)=v_{0x}t\\v_y(t)=30.0-4.9t^2\end{cases}

The ball stops 18.0 m from where it began, so that

\begin{cases}18.0=v_{0x}t\\0=30.0-4.9t^2\end{cases}

From the second equation, we can show that the ball travels for about t=2.47 seconds, which means it was initially thrown with a horizontal velocity of

18.0\,\mathrm m=v_{0x}(2.47\,\mathrm s)\implies v_{0x}=7.29\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}
