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

Physics

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.

Which can be observed both on Earth and in an accelerating ship in space that is free from the effect of any gravitational field
Reil [10]

Answer:

  • apples falling from trees
  • people's feet touching the ground
  • sky divers moving toward the ground  
  • balls bending downward after being thrown​

Explanation:

When a space ship is accelerating in space, there is a force known as Inertia that kicks in. Inertia will mirror the effects of gravity on the ship even if there is no gravitational field effect such that anything that would happen where there is gravity, would continue to happen.

This means that apples will fall from trees, people's feet will touch the ground, sky divers will be pulled downwards and balls will bend downwards when thrown as well. These are the same effects expected on earth where gravity pulls things towards the earth's core.

The volume of an object as a function of time is calculated by v = At3+B÷t where t is time measured in seconds and v is in cubic
madam [21]

Answer:

A = m³/s³ = [L]³/[T]³ = [L³T⁻³]

B = m³s = [L³T]

Explanation:

We have the equation:

V = At³ + B/t

where, the dimensions of each variable are as follows:

V = m³ = [L]³

t = s = [T]

substituting these in equation, we get:

m³ = A(s)³ + B/s

for the homogeneity of the equation:

A(s)³ = m³

<u>A = m³/s³ = [L]³/[T]³ = [L³T⁻³]</u>

Also,

B/s = m³

<u>B = m³s = [L³T]</u>

If the AMA of the inclined plane below is 2, calculate the IMA and efficiency. IMA = Efficiency =
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

IMA = 2.5 metres

EFFICIENCY = 80%

Explanation:

The AMA of a machine is referred to as the Actual Mechanical Advantage of a machine, calculated as the ratio of the output to the input force.

The Ideal Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of the input distance to the output distance.

From the diagram, the input distance which is also the distance moved by effort  = 5metres

The load distance (output distance) = 2 metres

IMA = INPUT DISTANCE / OUTPUT DISTANCE

IMA = 5metres / 2 metres = 2.5 meters

Efficiency is the ratio of AMA TO IMA

AMA = 2, IMA = 2.5

EFFICIENCY = AMA / IMA

EFFICIENCY = (2 / 2.5) × 100%= 0.8 × 100%

EFFICIENCY = 80%
