How much work should be done to lift a 5kg brick to the height of 12m

Physics

Goshia [24]3 years ago

Answer: 588 joules

Explanation:

Work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance ( whether vertical or horizontal). It is measured in joules.

Thus, Workdone = Force X distance

- Vertical distance to be moved by the brick = 12 metres

- Mass of box = 5kg

- Acceleration due to gravity when box was lifted represented by g is a constant with value of 9.8m/s^2

Now, recall that Force = Mass x acceleration due to gravity

i.e Force = 5kg x 9.8m/s^2

Force = 49 Newton

So, Workdone = Force X Distance

Workdone = 49 Newton X 12 metres

Workdone = 588 joules

Thus, 588 joules of work was done.

You tie a cord to a pail of water and swing the pail in a vertical circle of radius 0.710 mm . What minumum speed must the pail
Blababa [14]

Answer:

The minumum speed the pail must have at its highest point if no water is to spill from it

= 2.64 m/s

Explanation:

Working with the forces acting on the water in the pail at any point.

The weight of water is always directed downwards.

The normal force exerted on the water by the pail is always directed towards the centre of the circle of the circular motion.

And the centripetal force, which keeps the system in its circular motion, is the net force as a result of those two previously mentioned force.

At the highest point of the motion, the top of the vertical circle, the weight and the normal force on the water are both directed downwards.

Net force = W + (normal force)

But the speed of this motion can be lowered enough to a point where the normal force becomes zero at the moment the pail reaches the highest point of its motion. Any speed lower than this value would result in the water spilling out of the pail. The water would not be able to resist the force of gravity.

At this point of minimum velocity,

Normal force = 0

Net force = W

Net force = centripetal force = (mv²/r)

W = mg

(mv²/r) = mg

r = 0.710 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

v² = gr = 9.8 × 0.71 = 6.958

v = √(6.958) = 2.64 m/s

Hope this Helps!!!

What do astronomers mean by light pollution?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

a. Light pollution refers to light used for human activities that brightens the sky and hinders astronomical observations.

Explanation:

Light pollution is due to the excessive and misdirected use of artificial light. Light bulbs are often design in an incorrect way, since a great part of its light is not completely directed to the ground and an important percentage is emitted to the sky in where will be scattered and reflected back to ground by the particles in the atmosphere. That brings as an effect a sky glow, therefore the visibility of astronomical objects will be extremely reduce.  

Hence, professional astronomical research and amateur observations will be affected. Light pollution has a negative impact on bird migration at night and in the health of difference species, humans also.

Simon is riding a bike at 12 km/h away from his friend Keesha.He throws a ball at 5 km/h back to Keesha, who is standing still o
Tems11 [23]

I notice that even though we're working with frames of reference
here, you never said which frame the '5 km/hr' is measured in.

In fact !  You didn't even say which frame the '12 km/hr' of his
bike is measured in.

So there are several different ways this could go.  I'll do it the way
I THINK you meant it, but that doesn't guarantee anything.

-- Simon is riding his bike at 12 km/hr relative to the sidewalk,
away from Keesha.

-- He throws a ball at Keesha, at 5 km/hr relative to his own face.

-- Keesha sees the ball approaching her at (12 - 5) = 7 km/hr
relative to the ground and to her.
