In a shipping yard, a crane operator attaches a cable to a 1240-kg shipping container and then uses the crane to lift the contai

ner vertically at a constant velocity for a distance of 37 m. Determine the amount of work done by each of the following.
(a) the tension in the cable? (J)
(b) the force of gravity? (J)

Answer:

(a) W = 449624 J or 449.624 kJ

(b) W = 449624 J or 449.624 kJ

Explanation:

Parameters given:

mass of container = 1240 kg

vertical distance moved = 37 m

(a) The amount of work done by Tension is given as:

W = T * d

where T = Tension in the cable;

d = distance moved by container.

The Tension in the cable is given as:

T = mg - ma

where w = weight of the container

g = acceleration due to gravity

a = normal acceleration

But a = 0, since the crane is accelerating due to gravity, being lifted vertically upwards. Hence, Tension is:

=> T = 1240 * 9.8

T = 12152 N

Hence, work done  by Tension:

W = T * d

W = 12152 * 37

W = 449624 J or 449.624 kJ

(b) The crane operator is lifting the container vertically upward. In this type of case, the Tension is equal to the weight or force of gravity.

This means that the work done by the Tension will be the same as the work done by the force of gravity.

Hence, work done by force of gravity = 449624 J or 449.624 kJ

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of ship =1240 kg

height=37 m

(a)Work done by Tension in cable+work done by gravity =0

Work done by gravity =change in potential energy of mass=-1240\times 9.8\times 37=-449.624 kJ

Thus work done by tension=449.624 kJ

(b)work done by force of gravity=-mg\times h=-1240\times 9.8\times 37=-449.624 kJ

PLEASEEE HELP, thank you :)

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Given that the <em>current </em>(Ampere) in a series circuit is same so we can ignore it. We can assume that the total voltage is 60V and all the 3 resistance are different, 20Ω, 40Ω and 60Ω. So first, we have to find the total resistance by adding :

Total resistance = 20Ω + 40Ω + 60Ω

= 120Ω

Next, we have to find out that 1Ω is equal to how many voltage by dividing :

120Ω = 60V

1Ω = 60V ÷ 120

1Ω = 0.5V

Lastly, we have to calculate the voltage at R1 so we have to multiply by 20 (R1) :

1Ω = 0.5V

20Ω = 0.5V × 20

20Ω = 10V

Solve the equation x=3logy2 for y.
melisa1 [442]

X = 3 · log(Y²)

X = 3 · 2·log(Y)

X/6 = log(Y)

10^(X/6) = 10^log(Y)

Y = 10^(X/6)

forsale [732]
We need to consider no change in the temperature of gas (isothermal transformation)

Volume and pressure are inversely proportional magnitudes, so we can write:

P_1.V_1=P_2.V_2\\&#10;\\&#10;9.20=5.V_2\\&#10;\\&#10;V_2=\frac{180}{5}=36 \ m^3

In the writing of ionic chemical formulas, what factor is "crossed over" in the crossover rule?
Aleks04 [339]

In the writing of ionic chemical formulas the value of each ion's charge is crossed over in the crossover rule.

Rules for naming Ionic compounds

  • Frist Rule
    The cation (element with a negative charge) is written first in the name then the anion(element with a positive charge) is written second in the name.
  • Second rule
    When the formula unit contains two or more of the same polyatomic ion, that ion is written in parentheses with the subscript written outside the parentheses.
    Example: Sodium carbonate is written as Na₂CO₃ not Na₂(CO)₃
  • Third rule
    If the cation is a metal ion with a fixed charge then the name of the cation will remain the same as the (neutral) element from which it is derived (Example: Na+ will be sodium).
    If the cation is a metal ion with a variable charge, the charge on the cation is indicated using a Roman numeral, in parentheses, immediately following the name of the cation (example: Fe³⁺ = iron(III)).
  • Fourth rule
    If the anion is a monatomic ion, the anion is named by adding the suffix <em>-ide</em> to the root of the element name (example: F = Fluoride).

The oxidation state of each ion is also important, thus in the crossover rule, the value of each ion's charge is crossed over.
