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 system of releases 125kJ of heat while 104kJ of work is done in the system. Calcilate the change om imternal energy (in kJ)
artcher [175]

Answer:

DU = 21 KJ

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Quantity of heat = 125 KJ

Work = 104 KJ

To find the change in internal energy;

Mathematically, the change in internal energy of a system is given by the formula;

DU = Q - W

Where;

DU is the change in internal energy.

Q is the quantity of energy.

W is the work done.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

DU = 125 - 104

DU = 21 KJ

Match the organisms to the descriptions.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Lacks colored blood - Scorpion

Soft, unsegmented body - Octopus

A vertebrate - Bird

Lacks antennae - Starfish

Explanation:

Scorpion belongs to the Phylum Arthropoda of the Kingdom Animalia. All the organisms of this phylum lack coloured blood.

Octopus comes under the Phylum Molusca of the Kingdom Animalia. Soft, unsegmented body is the property of the organisms of this phylum.

Bird belongs to the Vertebrata class of the Phylum Chordata of Kingdom Animalia.

Starfish belongs to Echinodermata Phylum of the Kingdom Animalia. The organisms of this category do not posses antennae.

The equation of a transverse wave traveling along a string is 1 1 y (2.00 mm)sin[(20 m )x (600 s )t] − − = − Find the (a) amplit
Lelu [443]

Answer:

a)Amplitude ,A = 2 mm

b)f=95.49 Hz

c)V=  30 m/s  ( + x direction )

d)  λ = 0.31 m

e)Umax= 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

y=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]

As we know that standard form of wave equation given as

y=A sin(\phi -\omega t)

A= Amplitude

ω=Frequency (rad /s)

t=Time

Φ = Phase difference

y=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]

So from above equation we can say that

Amplitude ,A = 2 mm

Frequency ,ω= 600 rad/s                     (2πf=ω)

ω= 2πf

f= ω /2π

f= 300/π = 95.49 Hz

K= 20 rad/m

So velocity,V

V= ω /K

V= 600 /20 = 30 m/s  ( + x direction )

V = f λ

30 = 95.49 x  λ

 λ = 0.31 m

We know that speed is the rate of displacement

U=\dfrac{dy}{dt}

U=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]

U=1200\ cos[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]\ mm/s

The maximum velocity

Umax = 1200 mm/s

Umax= 1.2 m/s
