A pile driver is a device used to drive stakes into the
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

0.0483m or 48.3 mm

Explanation:

Let g = 10m/s2

At 8m, the pile has a potential energy of

P = mgh = 3000*10*8 = 240000 J

This energy is converted to kinetic energy once the pile drops down to the bottom:

E = \frac{mv^2}{2} = 240000

v^2 = \frac{240000*2}{3000} = 160

Taking gravity into consideration, the net force acting on the pile once it hits the ground is

-5*10^6 + 10*3000 = -4970000 N

Therefore the net deceleration is:

a = F/m = -49700003000 = -1657 m/s^2

We can find out how far it's driven into the ground with the following equation of motion:

v^2 - v_0^2 = 2as

where v = 0 is the final velocity, which is 0 because it stops, v_0^2 = 160 is the initial velocity when it hits the ground, a is the deceleration, and s is the distance it travels into the ground

0 - 160 = 2*(-1657)s

s = \frac{-160}{2*(-1657)} = 0.0483m or 48.3 mm

The force of gravity depends on the mass of objects and the distance between them. TRUE OR FALSE?
Svet_ta [14]
It is TRUE, Force is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

a)

r = distance of each mass in each hand from center = 0.6 m

m = mass of each mass in each hand = 2 kg

v = linear speed = 1.1 m/s

L = combined angular momentum of the masses = ?

Combined angular momentum of the masses is given as

L = 2 m v r

L = 2 (2) (1.1) (0.6)

L = 2.64 kg m²/s


b)

v' = linear speed when she pulls her arms = ?

r' = distance of each mass from center after she pulls her arms = 0.15 m

Using conservation of momentum , angular momentum remains same, hence

L = 2 m v' r'

2.64 = 2 (2) (0.15) v'

v' = 4.4 m/s

A vertical spring with k=490N/m is standing on the ground. You are holding a 5.0kg block just above the spring, not quite touchi
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Compression in the spring, x = 0.20 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant of the spring, k = 490 N/m

Mass of the block, m = 5 kg

To find,

Compression in the spring.

Solution,

Since the block is suddenly dropped on the spring gravitational potential energy of block converts into elastic potential energy of spring. Its expression is given by :

mgx=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

Where

x is the compression in the spring

x=\dfrac{2mg}{k}

x=\dfrac{2\times 5\times 9.8}{490}

x = 0.20 m

So, the compression in the spring due to block is 0.20 meters.
