Answer:

5,760,000 lb-ft²/s²

Explanation:

Work done, W = mgy where m = mass of stone = 12,000 lb, g = 32 ft/s² and y = vertical distance = 15 ft.

So, W = mgy = 12,000 lb × 32 ft/s² × 15 ft. = 5,760,000 lb-ft²/s²

A person pushes a refrigerator across a horizontal floor. The mass of the refrigerator is 110 kg, the coefficient of static fric
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of refrigerator, m = 110 kg

coefficient of static friction, μs = 0.85

coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.59

(a) the minimum force required to just start the motion in refrigerator

F = μs x mg

F = 0.85 x 110 x 9.8

F = 916.3 N

(b) The force required to move the refrigerator with constant speed

F' = μk x mg

F' = 0.59 x 110 x 9.8

F' = 636.02 N

(c) Let a be the acceleration.

Net force = Applied force - friction force

F net = 950 - 636.02

F net = 313.98 N

a = F net / mass

a = 313.98 / 110

a = 2.85 m/s²

Many industries are powered via distant power stations. Calculate the current flowing through a 7,300m long 10. copper power lin
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Current, I = 1000 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the copper wire, l = 7300 m

Resistance of copper line, R = 10 ohms

Magnetic field, B = 0.1 T

\mu_o=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ T-m/A

Resistivity, \rho=1.72\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

We need to find the current flowing the copper wire. Firstly, we need to find the radius of he power line using physical dimensions as :

R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}

R=\rho \dfrac{l}{\pi r^2}

r=\sqrt{\dfrac{\rho l}{R\pi}}

r=\sqrt{\dfrac{1.72\times 10^{-8}\times 7300}{10\pi}}

r = 0.00199 m

or

r=1.99\times 10^{-3}\ m=2\times 10^{-3}\ m

The magnetic field on a current carrying wire is given by :

B=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}

I=\dfrac{2\pi rB}{\mu_o}

I=\dfrac{2\pi \times 0.1\times 2\times 10^{-3}}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}}

I = 1000 A

So, the current of 1000 A is flowing through the copper wire. Hence, this is the required solution.

A gas, behaving ideally, has a pressure P1 and at a volume V1. The pressure of the gas is changed to P2. Using Avogadro’s, Charl
Bond [772]

Answer:

Boyle's Law

\therefore P_1.V_1=P_2.V_2

Explanation:

Given that:

<u><em>initially:</em></u>

pressure of gas, = P_1

volume of gas, = V_1

<em><u>finally:</u></em>

pressure of gas, = P_2

volume of gas, = V_2

<u>To solve for final volume</u> V_2

<em>According to Avogadro’s law the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the no. of moles of the gas under a constant temperature and pressure.</em>

<em>According to the Charles' law, at constant pressure the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its temperature.</em>

But here we have a change in the pressure of the Gas so we cannot apply Avogadro’s law and Charles' law.

Here nothing is said about the temperature, so we consider the Boyle's Law which states that <em>at constant temperature the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.</em>

Mathematically:

P_1\propto \frac{1}{V_1}

\Rightarrow P_1.V_1=k\ \rm(constant)

\therefore P_1.V_1=P_2.V_2

Sidana [21]

Answer:

X-rays go all the way through the body, but ultraviolet rays do not.

Explanation:

An x-ray will show inside the body, but uv light isn't strong enough to go all the way through the body.
