11. Hans and Frans are two workers being considered for a job at the UPS loading dock. Hans boasts that he can lift a 100 kg box

2.0 meters vertically, in 3.0 seconds. Frans counters with his claim of lifting a 200 kg box 5.0 meters vertically, in 20 seconds. Which worker is more powe

Answer:

Hans is more powerful

Explanation:

Power: This can be defined as the rate at which work is done or energy is used up.

The expression for power is given as,

P = E/t

P = mgh/t................. Equation 1

Where P = power, W = Work, t = time, m = mass, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Hans' power

P = mgh/t

Given: m = 100 kg, h = 2 m, g = 9.8 m/s², t = 3 s

Substitute into equation 1

P = 100(9.8)(2)/3

P = 653.33 W.

Frans' power

P' = mgh/t

Given; m = 200 kg, h = 5 m, t = 20 s.

P' = 200(5)(9.8)/20

P' = 9800/20

P' = 490 W

from the above,

since P>P'

Hence, Hans is more powerful

What benefits does preforming this investigation in the physical world have over the computer simulation?

mezya [45]

Explanation:

Can be safer and cheaper than the real world. Able to test a product or system works before building it. Can use it to find unexpected problems. Can speed things up or slow them down to see changes over long or short periods of time.

Initially, a 2.00-kg mass is whirling at the end of a string (in a circular path of radius 0.750 m) on a horizontal frictionless

drek231 [11]

Answer:

$v_f = 15 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using conservation of angular momentum.

The angular momentum $\vec{L}$ is

$\vec{L} = \vec{r} \times \vec{p}$

where $\vec{r}$ is the position and $\vec{p}$ the linear momentum.

We also know that the torque is

$\vec{\tau} = \frac{d\vec{L}}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} ( \vec{r} \times \vec{p} )$

$\vec{\tau} = \frac{d}{dt} \vec{r} \times \vec{p} + \vec{r} \times \frac{d}{dt} \vec{p}$

$\vec{\tau} = \vec{v} \times \vec{p} + \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$

but, as the linear momentum is $\vec{p} = m \vec{v}$ this means that is parallel to the velocity, and the first term must equal zero

$\vec{v} \times \vec{p}=0$

so

$\vec{\tau} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$

But, as the only horizontal force is the tension of the string, the force must be parallel to the vector position measured from the vertical rod, so

$\vec{\tau}_{rod} = 0$

this means, for the angular momentum measure from the rod:

$\frac{d\vec{L}_{rod}}{dt} = 0$

that means :

$\vec{L}_{rod} = constant$

So, the magnitude of initial angular momentum is :

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = |\vec{r}_i||\vec{p}_i| cos(\theta)$

but the angle is 90°, so:

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = |\vec{r}_i||\vec{p}_i|$

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = r_i * m * v_i$

We know that the distance to the rod is 0.750 m, the mass 2.00 kg and the speed 5 m/s, so:

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = 0.750 \ m \ 2.00 \ kg \ 5 \ \frac{m}{s}$

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = 7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s}$

For our final angular momentum we have:

$| \vec{L}_{rod_f} | = r_f * m * v_f$

and the radius is 0.250 m and the mass is 2.00 kg

$| \vec{L}_{rod_f} | = 0.250 m * 2.00 kg * v_f$

but, as the angular momentum is constant, this must be equal to the initial angular momentum

$7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s} = 0.250 m * 2.00 kg * v_f$

$v_f = \frac{7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s}}{ 0.250 m * 2.00 kg}$

$v_f = 15 \frac{m}{s}$

What do conduction, radiation, and convection work together to do?

Semmy [17]

Well, conduction is the passing of heat by touch. Convection is the passing along of heat by movement (e.g. hot air rising from a radiator to heat the rest of the room), and radiation is the heating of something through electromagnetic rays without any contact. For example, the earth absorbs the heat radiated from the son (radiation). The air that touches the earth gets warmed up (conduction), and rises, and as it rises, it passes its heat along to more air around it (convection).
