At a dock, a crane lifts a 2009 kg container 20 m, swings it out over the deck of a freighter, and lowers the container into the

hold of the freighter, which is 8 m below the level of the dock. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . Neglect friction losses. How much work is done by the crane on the container? Answer in units of kJ

Answer:

W = 157.5kJ

Explanation:

Assuming it moves the container at constant speed, the work done by the crane will be equal to the variation of the potential gratitational energy on the container:

Wc = \Delta E = m*g*(h2 - h1)  where h2= -8m  and  h1=0m

Wc = 157.5kJ

The wheel of a stationary exercise bicycle at your gym makes one rotation in 0.670 s. Consider two points on this wheel: Point P
defon

Answer:

0.938 m/s.

Explanation:

Given:

ω = 1 rev in 0.67 s

In rad/s,

1 rev = 2pi rad

ω = 2pi ÷ 0.67

= 9.38 rad/s

Rp = 10 cm

= 0.1 m

V = ω × r

= 9.38 × 0.1

= 0.938 m/s.

A car maintains a constant speed v as it traverses the hill and valley as shown below. Both the hill and valley have a radius of
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

As given that the car maintains a constant speed v as it traverses the hill and valley where both the valley and hill have a radius of curvature R.

(i) At point C, the normal force acting on the car is largest because the centripetal force is up. gravity is down and normal force is up. net force is up so magnitude of normal force must be greater than the car's weight.

(ii) At point A, the normal force acting on the car is smallest because the centripetal force is down. gravity is down and normal force is up. net force is up so magnitude of normal force must be less than car's weight.

(iii) At point C, the driver will feel heaviest because the driver's apparent weight is the normal force on her body.

(iv) At point A, the driver will feel the lightest.

(v)The car can go that much fast without losing contact with the road at A can be determined as follow:

Fn=0 - lose contact with road

Fg= mv²/r

mg=mv²/r

v=sqrt (gr)
