A 740-kg boulder is raised from a quarry 119 m deep by a long uniform chain having a mass of 550 kg . This chain is of uniform s

trength, but at any point it can support a maximum tension no greater than 2.50 times its weight without breaking.

Answer:

A) the maximum acceleration the boulder can have and still get out of the quarry

B) how long does it take to be lifted out at maximum acceleration if it started from rest

Explanation:

A)

let +y is upward. look below at the free body diagram. the mass M refers to the combined mass of the boulder and chain.

the weight of the chain is:   w_{c} =m_{c} g   and maximum tension is T=2.50 m_{c} g=1.41*10^4N

total mass and weight is :

M =m_{c}+ m_{b} =740kg+550kg=1290 kg

w_{M} =1.2650*10^4N

∑F_{y} =ma_{y}

T-M_{g} =Ma_{y}

a_{y} =(t-M_{g} )/M=(2.50m_{c} -M_{g} )/M=(2.50.550kg-1290kg)(9.8m/s^2)/1290kg

=0.645m/s^2

B)

maximum acceleration

a_{y} =0.645m/s^2\\\\y-y_{0} =119m\\v_{0y} =0

using y-y_{0} =v_{oy} t+1/2(a_{y} )t^2

to solve for t

t=\sqrt{2(y-y_{0} )/a_{y} }

t=\sqrt{2(119m)/0.645m/s^2} =19.20s

A sample of an unknown substance has a mass of 0.465 kg. if 3,000.0 j of heat is required to heat the substance from 50.0°c to 1
hammer [34]

The specific heat of the substance will be 0.129 J/g°C.

<h3>What is specific heat capacity?</h3>

The amount of heat required to increase a substance's temperature by one degree Celsius is known as specific heat capacity.

Similarly, heat capacity is the relationship between the amount of energy delivered to a substance and the increase in temperature that results.

The given data in the problem is;

Q is the amount of energy necessary to raise the temperature = 3,000.0 j

M is the mass=  0.465 kg.

Δt is the time it takes to raise the temperature.=50°c

s stands for specific heat capacity=?

Mathematically specific heat capacity is given by;

\rm Q= MC \triangle t \\\\ C = \frac{Q}{M\triangle t} \\\\ C = \frac{3000}{0.465 \triangle 50} \\\\ C =129.0 J/Kg^0C \\\\ C= 0.129 J/g^0C

Hence the specific heat of the substance will be 0.129 J/g°C.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

There is no scientific evidence that playing specifically l badminton makes you a better person, but sport and exercise in general release hormones which can make you feel more happy therefore making you nicer to the people around you and 'a better person'.

calculate the efficiency of a light bulb that had an input of 400 j transfers 100j as a light and 300j as heat.​
beks73 [17]
Efficiency = useful energy out / total energy in x 100
= 100/400 x 100
=0.25 x 100
= 25%
