How much work is done by a crane that lowers 1000N of material a distance of 150

Physics

The crane does NO work.

Work = (force) x (distance)

         = (1,000 N) x (150 meters ?)  =  150,000 joules

But the work is in the direction of the force, and it isn't the crane
pushing the material down.  It's gravity.

Gravity is doing the work. 

If the material was being lowered by a cable wrapped around the shaft
of an electric generator, then you could use the work done by gravity to
generate some electrical energy, and then sell the energy.

Or, if the "material" happened to be water, you could let gravity lower it
through a turbine or a water wheel, and use the work done by gravity to
grind wheat.

Yes, the crane may be raising a sweat, working against gravity.  The
purpose is only to prevent gravity from doing the work too fast.

A thin rod of length 1.4 m and mass 140 g is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swing l
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

a The kinetic energy is  KE = 0.0543 J

b The height of the center of mass above that position is  h = 1.372 \ m    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The length of the rod is  L = 1.4m

   The mass of the rod m = 140 = \frac{140}{1000} = 0.140 \ kg  

   The angular speed at the lowest point is w = 1.09 \ rad/s

Generally moment of inertia of the rod about an axis that passes through its one end is

                   I = \frac{mL^2}{3}  

Substituting values

               I = \frac{(0.140) (1.4)^2}{3}

               I = 0.0915 \ kg \cdot m^2

Generally the  kinetic energy rod is mathematically represented as

             KE = \frac{1}{2} Iw^2

                    KE = \frac{1}{2} (0.0915) (1.09)^2

                           KE = 0.0543 J

From the law of conservation of energy

The kinetic energy of the rod during motion =  The potential energy of the rod at the highest point

   Therefore

                   KE = PE = mgh

                        0.0543 = mgh

                             h = \frac{0.0543}{9.8 * 0.140}

                                h = 1.372 \ m

Steam enters a counterflow heat exchanger operating at steady state at 0.07 MPa with a specific enthalpy of 2431.6 kJ/kg and exi
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Steam Mass rate, ms = 1.5 kg/min

= 1.5 kg/min × 1 min/60 sec

= 0.025 kg/s

Air Mass rate, ma = 100 kg/min

= 100 kg/min × 1 min/60 sec

= 1.67 kg/s

A.

Extracting the specific enthalpy and temperature values from property table of “Saturated water – Pressure table” which corresponds to temperature at 0.07 MPa.

xf, quality = 0.9.

Tsat = 89.9°C

hf = 376.57 kJ/kg

hfg = 2283.38 kJ/kg

Using the equation for specific enthalpy,

hi = hf + (hfg × xf)

= 376.57 + (2283.38 × 0.9)

= 2431.552 kJ/kg

The specific enthalpy of the outlet, h2 = hf

= 376.57 kJ/kg

B.

Rate of enthalpy (heat exchange), Q = mass rate, ms × change in specific enthalpy

= ms × (hi - h2)

= 0.025 × (2431.552 - 376.57)

= 0.025 × 2055.042

= 51.37455 kW

= 51.38 kW.

“I know what the atomic number of this atom is, but I don’t know what the number of electrons is,” a friend says. How would you
liq [111]

Once the atomic number of an atom is known, the number of electrons can be deduced depending on if the atom is an ion or a neutral one.

<h3>Atomic number</h3>

The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.

For atoms that are neutral, that is, no net charges, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons. In other words, the positive charges always balance the negative charges in neutral atoms.

Thus, if the atomic number of a neutral atom is 6, for example, the proton number will also be 6. Since the proton must balance the electron, the number of electrons will also be 6.
