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

A rocket is fired straight up. It contains two stages (Stage 1 and Stage 2) of solid rocket fuel that are designed to burn for 1
Archy [21]

Answer:

a)  y= 3.5 10³ m, b)   t = 64 s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we use the vertical launch kinematics equation

Stage 1

          y₁ = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ a t²

          y₁ = 0 + 0 + ½ a₁ t²

Let's calculate

         y₁ = ½ 16 10²

         y₁ = 800 m

At the end of this stage it has a speed

        v₁ = vo + a₁ t₁

        v₁ = 0 + 16 10

        v₁ = 160 m / s

Stage 2

        y₂ = y₁ + v₁ (t-t₀) + ½ a₂ (t-t₀)²

        y₂ = 800 + 150 5 + ½ 11 5²

        y₂ = 1092.5 m

Speed ​​is

        v₂ = v₁ + a₂ t

        v₂ = 160 + 11 5

        v₂ = 215 m / s

The rocket continues to follow until the speed reaches zero (v₃ = 0)

         v₃² = v₂² - 2 g y₃

         0 = v₂² - 2g y₃

         y₃ = v₂² / 2g

         y₃ = 215²/2 9.8

         y₃ = 2358.4 m

The total height is

          y = y₃ + y₂

          y = 2358.4 + 1092.5

          y = 3450.9 m

           y= 3.5 10³ m

b) Flight time is the time to go up plus the time to go down

Let's look for the time of stage 3

          v₃ = v₂ - g t₃

          v₃ = 0

          t₃ = v₂ / g

          t₃ = 215 / 9.8

          t₃ = 21.94 s

The time to climb is

          t_{s} = t₁ + t₂ + t₃

          t_{s} = 10+ 5+ 21.94

          t_{s} = 36.94 s

The time to descend from the maximum height is

          y = v₀ t - ½ g t²

When it starts to slow down it's zero

         y = - ½ g t_{b}²

         t_{b}  = √-2y / g

         

        t_{b} = √(- 2 (-3450.9) /9.8)

        t_{b} = 26.54 s

Flight time is the rise time plus the descent date

        t = t_{s} + t_{b}

        t = 36.94 + 26.54

        t =63.84 s

        t = 64 s

PROJECTILE MOTION-Why isn't there any accelertion in the x direction while there is an acceleration of -g in the y direction? ..
Ahat [919]
There is no acceleration of g in the x direction because the gravitational acceleration points downward. Also, on most studies we ignore the tidal forces since we are dealing with small bodies compared to the size of the earth.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

What is the average speed of an object that travels 6 meters in 2 seconds and then travels 3 meters in 1 second?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

3 m/s

Explanation:

Average Speed = \frac{Total Distance}{Total time}

Plug in the numbers, it will be (6m + 3m) divided by (2s + 1s), which is 9m/3s, which equals to 3m/s.
