Marina CMI [18]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

5880lb-ft of work is done

Explanation:

The length of the heavy rope is given as 60ft and the weight per length is 0.7lb/ft.

Therefore, the total weight of the heavy rope is

60×0.7 =42lb.

The work done in pulling the heavy rope to the top of the building is w = Fd.

Where

F is force is measured in pounds;42lb

d is distance through which the heavy rope is to be pulled measured in feet; 140ft

w= 42lb×140ft= 5880lb-ft

A series of evenly timed pulses create a wave that can be described as a _______<br><br> wave.
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Periodic

Explanation:

A periodic (or repetitive) wave has continuously repeating pattern with characteristics such as amplitude, wavelength and frequency. In a periodic wave, a series of pulses that are evenly timed would be created. In other words, the wave pattern in a periodic wave repeats at regular intervals.

An example of a periodic wave is the sound from the strings of a violin.`

The cable supporting a 2130-kg elevator has a maximum strength of 2.18×104 n . what maximum upward acceleration can it give the
Vlada [557]

Answer;

=0.43 m/s²

Solution;

There will be the tension in the cable, T, upwards and the weight of the elevator, mg, downwards.  

By Newton's second law, the sum of the forces will be equal to mass×acceleration.  

Resultant force = m × a

Then T - mg = ma so the tension in the cable is  

T = m(g+a)  

The cable will break when T = 21,800 N  

Solving for a, that happens when  

a = 21800/2130 - g

    = 10.23 - g (in m/s^2)  

If you're using g = 9.8 m/s^2

Then the maximum acceleration allowed is 10.23-9.8 = 0.43 m/s^2

There is a 50 g sample of Ra-229. It has a half-life of 4 minutes.
Sloan [31]

Via half-life equation we have:


A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h} }


Where the initial amount is 50 grams, half-life is 4 minutes, and time elapsed is 12 minutes.  By plugging those values in we get:

A_{final}=50(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{12}{4}=50(\frac{1}{2})^{3}=50(\frac{1}{8})=6.25g


There is 6.25 grams left of Ra-229 after 12 minutes.
