Answer:

Work done required is 3567.2 J

Explanation:

Given :

Length of chain, l = 72 m

Mass of chain, M = 29 kg

Linear mass density of chain, μ = \frac{Mass\ of\ chain }{Length\ of\ chain} = \frac{29}{72}  = 0.40 kg/m

Let x be the length of the chain which lift to the top of the building.

Work done required to lift the chain is equal to the potential energy of the chain.

W = ∫μg (72 - x ) dx

Here g is acceleration due to gravity.

The limit of integration is from 0 to 14.

W = μg ( 72x - x²/2)

Substitute 0.40 kg/m for μ, 9.8 m/s² for g and 14 m for x in the above equation.

W = 0.40\times9.8\times(72\times14\ - \frac{14^{2} }{2})

W = 3567.2 J

Which statement is true about nuclear fusion? it is caused by the same process that causes nuclear fission.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

The correct statement about nuclear fusion is the last one: "it produces nearly all the elements that are heavier than helium". Nuclear fusion is the process of combination of two smaller atoms into a larger one. It requires a high activation energy, which is reached in the stars. Elements from He to Iron were formed in the Sun, but larger elements require a higher energy and are formed inside supernovas.

A test rocket is launched vertically from ground level (y=0), at time t=0.0s. The rocket engine provides constant upward acceler
Luden [163]

From the definition of average velocity,

\bar v=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{49\,\mathrm m}t,

and the fact that constant acceleration means

\bar v=\dfrac{v_f+v_0}2=\dfrac{30\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}2=15\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

we can solve for the time t:

15\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}=\dfrac{49\,\mathrm m}t\implies t=3.3\,\mathrm s

7. Un bloque de 700 N se encuentra sobre una viga uniforme de 200 N y 6 m de longitud. El bloque está a una distancia de 1 m del
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

 x =  0.176 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we will take the condition of rotational equilibrium, where the reference system is located on the far left and the wire on the far right. We assume that counterclockwise turns are positive.

Let's use trigonometry to decompose the tension

      sin 60 = T_{y} / T

      T_{y} = T sin 60

       cos 60 = Tₓ / T

      Tₓ = T cos 60

we apply the equation

       ∑ τ = 0

       -W L / 2 - w x + T_{y} L = 0

 

the length of the bar is L = 6m

           -Mg 6/2 - m g x + T sin 60 6 = 0

             x = (6 T sin 60 - 3 M g) / mg

let's calculate

let's use the maximum tension that resists the cable T = 900 N

             x = (6 900 sin 60 - 3 200 9.8) / (700 9.8)

             x = (4676 - 5880) / 6860

             x = - 0.176 m

Therefore the block can be up to 0.176m to keep the system in balance.
