Find the energy in Joules required to lift a 55.0 Megagram object a distance of 500 cm.

1 answer:

7 0

Energy to lift something =

(mass of the object) x (gravity) x (height of the lift).

BUT ...

This simple formula only works if you use the right units.

Mass . . . kilograms
Gravity . . . meters/second²
Height . . . meters

For this question . . .

Mass = 55 megagram = 5.5 x 10⁷ grams = 5.5 x 10⁴ kilograms

Gravity (on Earth) = 9.8 m/second²

Height = 500 cm = 5.0 meters

So we have ...

Energy = (5.5 x 10⁴ kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m)

= 2,696,925 joules .

That's quite a large amount of energy ... equivalent to
straining at the rate of 1 horsepower for almost exactly an
hour, or burning a 100 watt light bulb for about 7-1/2 hours.

The reason is the large mass that's being lifted.
On Earth, that much mass weighs about 61 tons.

(a) According to Hooke's Law, the force required to hold any spring stretched x meters beyond its natural length is f(x)=kx. Sup

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

a) The work required to stretch the spring from 20 centimeters to 25 centimeters is 0.313 joules, b) The area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve $r(\theta) = 2\cdot \sin 5\theta$ is $4\pi$ .

Explanation:

a) The work, measured in joules, is a physical variable represented by the following integral:

$W = \int\limits^{x_{f}}_{x_{o}} {F(x)} \, dx$

Where

$x_{o}$ , $x_{f}$ - Initial and final position, respectively, measured in meters.

$F(x)$ - Force as a function of position, measured in newtons.

Given that $F = k\cdot x$ and the fact that $F = 25\,N$ when $x = 0.3\,m - 0.2\,m$ , the spring constant ( $k$ ), measured in newtons per meter, is:

$k = \frac{F}{x}$

$k = \frac{25\,N}{0.3\,m-0.2\,m}$

$k = 250\,\frac{N}{m}$

Now, the work function is obtained:

$W = \left(250\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\int\limits^{0.05\,m}_{0\,m} {x} \, dx$

$W = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(250\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\cdot [(0.05\,m)^{2}-(0.00\,m)^{2}]$

$W = 0.313\,J$

The work required to stretch the spring from 20 centimeters to 25 centimeters is 0.313 joules.

b) Let be $r(\theta) = 2\cdot \sin 5\theta$ . The area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve is given by the following integral:

$A = \int\limits^{2\pi}_0 {[r(\theta)]^{2}} \, d\theta$

$A = 4\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {\sin^{2}5\theta} \, d\theta$

By using trigonometrical identities, the integral is further simplified:

$A = 4\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {\frac{1-\cos 10\theta}{2} } \, d\theta$

$A = 2 \int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {(1-\cos 10\theta)} \, d\theta$

$A = 2\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0}\, d\theta - 2\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {\cos10\theta} \, d\theta$

$A = 2\cdot (2\pi - 0) - \frac{1}{5}\cdot (\sin 20\pi-\sin 0)$

$A = 4\pi$

The area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve $r(\theta) = 2\cdot \sin 5\theta$ is $4\pi$ .

A rough estimate of the radius of a nucleus is provided by the formula r 5 kA1/3, where k is approximately 1.3 × 10213 cm and A

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Density of 127 I = $\rm 1.79\times 10^{14}\ g/cm^3.$

Also, $\rm Density\ of\ ^{127}I=3.63\times 10^{13}\times Density\ of\ the\ solid\ iodine.$

Explanation:

Given, the radius of a nucleus is given as

$\rm r=kA^{1/3}$ .

where,

$\rm k = 1.3\times 10^{-13} cm.$

A is the mass number of the nucleus.

The density of the nucleus is defined as the mass of the nucleus M per unit volume V.

$\rm \rho = \dfrac{M}{V}=\dfrac{M}{\dfrac 43 \pi r^3}=\dfrac{M}{\dfrac 43 \pi (kA^{1/3})^3}=\dfrac{M}{\dfrac 43 \pi k^3A}.$

For the nucleus 127 I,

Mass, M = $\rm 2.1\times 10^{-22}\ g.$

Mass number, A = 127.

Therefore, the density of the 127 I nucleus is given by

$\rm \rho = \dfrac{2.1\times 10^{-22}\ g}{\dfrac 43 \times \pi \times (1.3\times 10^{-13})^3\times 127}=1.79\times 10^{14}\ g/cm^3.$

On comparing with the density of the solid iodine,

$\rm \dfrac{Density\ of\ ^{127}I}{Density\ of\ the\ solid\ iodine}=\dfrac{1.79\times 10^{14}\ g/cm^3}{4.93\ g/cm^3}=3.63\times 10^{13}.\\\\\Rightarrow Density\ of\ ^{127}I=3.63\times 10^{13}\times Density\ of\ the\ solid\ iodine.$
