A 1230 kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 7.07 m before contacting the beam,

and it drives the beam 15.9 cm into the ground before coming to rest. Find the magnitude of the average force the beam exerts on the pile driver while the pile driver is brought to rest. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2. Answer in units of N.

Answer:

F_{avg} = 5.48 \times 10^5 N

Explanation:

As we know that initial and final speed of the beam is zero

so we can use energy conservation here to find the applied force

So we will have

work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy of the beam

so we will have

W_g + W_{beam} = \Delta K

mg(L + x) - F_{avg} x = 0

1230(9.81)(7.07 + 0.159) = F_{avg} (0.159)

so we will have

87227.3 = F_{avg} (0.159)

F_{avg} = 5.48 \times 10^5 N

Andru [333]

Answer:

When broadcasting live on social, keep in mind that the best broadcasts are ones that feel like a conversation between brand and viewer. Unlike other forms of social video, you’ll get more views and engagement if your video

is longer and repeats key points.

Explanation:

When broadcasting live on social media, one should be live for long because in this way one can get more views as audience will increase with time. There should be an interaction with the audience like answering their questions which they write in the comments section. These comments and views will make this video to the top of news feed. Secondly the most important thing is the content of the video. One must focus on the information or knowledge he/she wants to convey and must repeat the key points again and again so that one who has missed the important points will be able catch them later.

A machine does 1500 joules of work in 30 second What is the power of the machine
lesya [120]
This is simple as power in watts is equal to joules per second so we can do 1500 joules divided by 30 seconds which equals 50 watts

Why is acceleration of an object moving at a constant velocity always zero?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

If an object is moving with a constant velocity, then by definition it has zero acceleration. So there is no net force acting on the object. The total work done on the object is thus 0 (that's not to say that there isn't work done by individual forces on the object, but the sum is 0 ).

Explanation:

In the middle, when the object was changing position at a constant velocity, the acceleration was 0. This is because the object is no longer changing its velocity and is moving at a constant rate.
