A 2100-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 5.00 m before coming into contact w

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

f = 878,080 N

Explanation:

mass of pile driver (m) = 2100 kg

distance of pile driver to steel beam (s) = 5 m

depth of steel driven (d) = 12 cm = 0.12 m

acceleration due to gravity (g0 = 9.8 m/s^{2}

calculate the average force exerted on the pile driver by the beam.

from work done = force x distance

work done = change in potential energy of the pile driver

equating the two equations above we have

force x distance = m x g x (s - d)

f x 0.12 = 2100 x 9.8 x (5- (-0.12))

d = - 0.12 because the steel beam went down at we are taking its

initial position to be an origin point which is 0

f = ( 2100 x 9.8 x (5- (-0.12)) ) ÷ 0.12

f = 878,080 N

A falling skydiver has a mass of 105 kg. What is the magnitude of the skydiver's acceleration when the upward force of air resis

LenKa [72]

F-free = m*g - F_air = m*a

F_air = 1.2 * m

a= (105 kg * 9.8 m.s^2 - 5*105) / 105 kg

a = 9.3 m/s

When you jump from an elevated position you usually bend your knees upon reaching the ground. By doing this, you make the time o

dsp73

Answer:

c. about 1/10 as great.

Explanation:

While jumping form a certain height when we bend our knees upon reaching the ground such that the time taken to come to complete rest is increased by 10 times then the impact force gets reduced to one-tenth of the initial value when we would not do so.

This is in accordance with the Newton's second law of motion which states that the rate of change in velocity is directly proportional to the force applied on the body.

Mathematically:

$F\propto\frac{d}{dt} (p)$

$\Rightarrow F=\frac{d}{dt} (m.v)$

since mass is constant

$F=m\frac{d}{dt}v$

when $dt=10t$

then,

$F'=m.\frac{v}{10\times t}$

$F'=\frac{1}{10} \times \frac{m.v}{t}$

$F'=\frac{F}{10}$ the body will experience the tenth part of the maximum force.

where:

$\frac{d}{dt} =$ represents the rate of change in dependent quantity with respect to time

$p=$ momentum

$m=$ mass of the person jumping

$v=$ velocity of the body while hitting the ground.

An instrument is thrown upward with a speed of 15 m/s on the surface of planet X where the acceleration due to gravity is 2.5 m/

Katen [24]

<h2>Answer: 12 s</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told <u>the instrument is thrown upward</u> from the surface, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the main movement equation in the Y axis is:

$y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (1)
