Marina CMI [18]2 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

Suppose your car is on a 5% grade, meaning that for every 100 m you travel along the road you raise or lower only 5 m in elevati
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

734.215N

Explanation:

First we calculate the angle that corresponds to a 5% slope using the Tan-1 function

\beta = tan-1(5%)=2.86

then we use the component that corresponds to the direction parallel to the road, additionally we must multiply by the gravity value to find the weight(g=9.81m/s^2)

Wx=M*g*sen(2.86)=1500kg*9.81*sen(2.86)=734.215N

When point charges q = +8.4 uC and q2 = +5.6 uC are brought near each other, each experiences a repulsive force of magnitude 0.6
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

it is separated by 80 cm distance

Explanation:

As per Coulombs law we know that force between two point charges is given by

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

here we know that

q_1 = +8.4\mu C

q_2 = +5.6 \mu C

force between two charges is given as

F = 0.66 N

now we have

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

0.66 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(8.4 \mu C)(5.6 \mu C)}{r^2}

r = 0.8 m

so it is separated by 80 cm distance

A 594 Ω resistor, an uncharged 1.3 μF capacitor, and a 6.53 V emf are connected in series. What is the current in milliamps afte
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

6.88 mA

Explanation:

Given:

Resistance, R = 594 Ω

Capacitance = 1.3 μF

emf, V = 6.53 V

Time, t = 1 time constant

Now,

The initial current, I₀ = \frac{\textup{V}}{\textup{R}}

or

I₀ = \frac{\textup{6.53}}{\textup{594}}

or

I₀ = 0.0109 A

also,

I = I_0[1-e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}}]

here,

τ = time constant

e = 2.717

on substituting the respective values, we get

I = 0.0109[1-e^{-\frac{\tau}{\tau}}]

or

I = 0.0109[1-2.717^{-1}]

or

I = 0.00688 A

or

I = 6.88 mA
