The correct answer to the question is 3.4\times 10^2\ J .

CALCULATION:

As per the question, the mass of the box is given as m = 7 kg.

The box was pushed to a height h = 5 m.

We are asked to calculate the work done by the box.

We know that energy is the capacity to do work.The work done by a body when it is taken to certain height above the surface of earth against gravity is equal to the potential energy gained by that body .

Hence, the work done W = P.E

The potential energy gained by the box when it was taken to certain height is the gravitational potential energy of the box.

The gravitational potential energy gained by the box is calculated as -

                      Potential energy P.E = mgh

                                                         = 7 × 9.8 × 5 J.

                                                         = 343 J

                                                         = 3.43\times 10^2\ J

                                                         = 3.4\times 10^2\ J

Here, g is known as the acceleration due to gravity and g = 9.8\ m/s^2

We know that work done by the box against gravity W = P.E.

Hence, the work done by the box against gravity is 3.4\times 10^2\ J

You are investigating an elevator accident which happened in a tall building. An elevator in this building is attached to a stro
Advocard [28]

Answer:

a) F = 2250 Ib

b) F = 550 Ib

c) new max force ( F newmax ) = 2850 Ib

Explanation:

A) The force the wall of the elevator shaft exert on the motor if the elevator starts from rest and goes up

max capacity  of elevator = 24000 Ibs

counterweight = 1000 Ibs

To calculate the force (F) :

we first calculate the Tension using this relationship

Counterweight (1000) - T =  ( 1000 / g ) ( g/4 )

Hence T = 750 Ib

next determine F

750 + F - 2400 = 2400 / 4

hence F = 2250 Ib

B ) calculate Tension first

T - 1000 = ( 1000/g ) ( g/4)

T = 1250 Ib

F = 2400 -1250 - 2400/ 4

F = 550 Ib

C ) determine design limit

Max = 2400 * 1.2 = 2880 Ib

750 + new force - 2880 = 2880 / 4

new max force ( F newmax ) = 2850 Ib

How many atoms are in a sample of 2.39 moles of neon (Ne) atoms?
Reil [10]
<span>Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles.

 </span>2.39 moles Ne ( 6.022 x 10^23 atoms / mole ) = 1.44 × 10^24 atoms Ne

The force an ideal spring exerts on an object is given by Fx = -kx, where x measures the displacement of the object from its equ
shusha [124]

Answer:

The work done by this force can be found via the following formula

W = \int{F(x)} \, dx = \int\limits^0_{-20} {(-kx)} \, dx = \frac{-kx^2}{2}\left \{ {{x=0} \atop {x=-20}} \right. = \frac{-60*(-20)^2}{2} \\W = -12000J

Explanation:

Alternatively, the work done by the object is equal to the elastic potantial energy done by the spring.

U = \frac{1}{2}kx_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}kx_1^2 =0 - \frac{1}{2}60(-20)^2 = -12000J

An object has a momentum of 4,000 kg-m/s and a mass of 115 kg. It crashes into another object that has a mass of 100 kg, and the
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

18.60  m/s

Explanation:

Original momentum = mv = 4000        with m = 115    

after collision   m = 115 + 100 = 215 kg

  but the total momentum is still the same (conserved)

          4000 = 215 v      shows v = 18.60 m/s
