A 2,200-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 3.40 m before coming into contact

with the top of the beam, and it drives the beam 8.8 cm farther into the ground as it comes to rest. Using energy considerations, calculate the average force the beam exerts on the pile driver while the pile driver is brought to rest.

Answer:

The magnitude of Force is 8.58×10⁵N and direction is upwards

Explanation:

The work beam does on the pile driver is given by

W=(FCos180°)Δx= -F(0.088m)

From work energy theorem

W_{nc}=(KE_{f}-KE_{i})+(PE_{f}-PE_{i})\\W_{nc}=1/2m(vf^{2}-vi^{2})+mg(yf-yi)

Choosing y=0 at the the level where the driver first contacts the beam and vi=0 at yi=+3.40m and comes to rest again vf=0 at yf= -0.088m

So

-F(0.088m)=1/2m(0-0)+2,200kg(9.81m/s^{2} )(-0.088m-3.40m)\\-F(0.088)=-75508.224\\F=75508.224/0.088\\F=8.58*10^{5} N

The magnitude of Force is 8.58×10⁵N and direction is upwards

How much energy was released if rocket hydrogen fuel was burnt ?​
suter [353]
When ignited, the gas mixture converts to water vapor and releases energy, which sustains the reaction: 241.8 kJ of energy (LHV) for every mole of H2 burned.” A mole of hydrogen weighs 2 grams. So, this is a LHV (lower heating value) of 120.9 kJ/gram of hydrogen when heat of vaporization is subtracted.

Leah is moving in a spaceship at a constant velocity away from a group of stars. Which one of the following statements indicates
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

E) She can perform no measurement to determine this quantity.

Explanation:

A spacecraft is a machine used to fly in outer space.

According to Isaac Newton's third law of motion, every action produces an equal and opposite reaction. When fuel is shoot out of one end of the rocket, the rocket moves forward for which no air is required.

As Leah is moving in a spaceship at a constant velocity away from a group of stars, she cannot measure to determine this quantity.

Ultraviolet light from a distant star is traveling at 3.0 × 108 m/s. how long will it take for the light to reach earth if it mu
castortr0y [4]

Given speed and the distance that must be covered, the time it will take the ultraviolet light to reach the earth is 3.7 × 10⁴ hours.

<h3>What is Speed?</h3>

Speed is simply referred to as distance traveled per unit time.

Mathematically, Speed = Distance ÷ time.

Given the data in the question;

  • Speed of the Ultraviolet light c = 3.0 × 10⁸m/s = 1.08 × 10⁹km/h
  • Distance it must cover d = 4.0 × 10¹³km
  • Time elapsed t = ?

We substitute our given values into the expression above.

Speed = Distance ÷ time

1.08 × 10⁹km/h = 4.0 × 10¹³km ÷ t

t = 4.0 × 10¹³km ÷ 1.08 × 10⁹km/h

t = 3.7 × 10⁴ hrs

Therefore, given speed and the distance that must be covered, the time it will take the ultraviolet light to reach the earth is 3.7 × 10⁴ hours.
