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

Which is the BEST explanation for why the speed of sound changes for solids, liquids, and gases?
garik1379 [7]

the reason why sound travels faster in solid is because the molecules in solid is more close to each other and they allow the waves of the sound to travel quickly or easily. and same reason why the sound travels fast in liquid that gas, it's because the molecules in liquid is closer to each other than the molecules in gas but they're not as close as solid hence why solid is the fastest at traveling sound

Explain how Newton's third law is applied when a rocket ship is being launched?
garri49 [273]

Newton's Third Law states that "every action has an equal and opposite reaction". In a rocket, burning fuel creates a push on the front of the rocket pushing it forward. This creates an equal and opposite push on the exhaust gas backwards.

The planet Gallifrey has 2 times the gravitational field strength and 2 times the radius of the Earth.
Alexeev081 [22]

The mass of the planet Gallifrey is 8 times the mass of the Earth.

  • let the gravitational field of Earth = g
  • let the radius of the Earth = R
  • gravitational field of Gallifrey = 2g
  • radius of Gallifrey = 2R

<h3>What is gravitational potential energy?</h3>
  • This is the work done in moving an object to a certain distance against gravitational field.

The gravitational field strength of the Earth is given as follows;

g = \frac{GM}{r^2} \\\\G = \frac{gr^2}{M}

The gravitational field strength of the Planet Gallifrey is calculated as follows;

g_2 = \frac{GM_2}{r_2^2}

G = \frac{g_2r_2^2}{M_2} \\\\\frac{g_2r_2^2}{M_2} = \frac{gr^2}{M}\\\\M_2gr^2 = Mg_2r_2^2\\\\M_2 = \frac{Mg_2r_2^2}{gr^2} \\\\M_2 = \frac{M \times 2g \times (2r)^2}{gr^2} \\\\M_2 = \frac{M \times 2g \times 4r^2}{gr^2} \\\\M_2 = 8M

Thus, the mass of the planet Gallifrey is 8 times the mass of the Earth.
