Given Information:

Mass of elephant = m = 750 kg

Height = h = 14.3 m

time = t = 30 seconds

Required Information:

Power needed to lift elephant = P = ?

Answer:

Power needed to lift elephant ≈ 3507 watts

Explanation:

As we know power is given by

P = PE/t

Where PE is the potential energy and t is the time

Potential energy is given by

PE = mgh

Where m is the mass of elephant, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height to lift the elephant.

PE = 750*9.81*14.3

PE = 105212.25 Joules

Therefore, the required power to lift the elephant is

P = PE/t

P = 105212.25/30

P ≈ 3507 watts

Hubble law how did astronomers gather the information needed to establish the law?

Korvikt [17]

They measured the wavelength of light emitted by stars using spectrometers and found it was being redshifted.
This implied the stars were moving away aka the space between the scientists and the star was expanding

Air contained in a rigid, insulated tank fitted with a paddle wheel, initially at 300 K, 2 bar, and a volume of 3 m3, is stirred

madam [21]

Answer:

a)P₂ =4 bar

b)W= - 1482.48 KJ

It means that work done on the system.

c)S₂ - S₁ = 3.42 KJ/K

Explanation:

Given that

T₁ = 300 K ,V₁ = 3 m³ ,P₁=2 bar

T₂ = 600 K ,V₂=V₁ 3 m³

Given that tank is rigid and insulated.It means that volume of the gas will remain constant.

Lets take the final pressure = P₂

For ideal gas P V = m R T

$\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}=\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}$

$P_2=\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}\times P_1$

$P_2=\dfrac{600}{300}\times 2$

P₂ =4 bar

Internal energy

ΔU = m Cv ΔT

Cv=0.71 KJ/kg.k for air

$m=\dfrac{PV}{RT}$

$m=\dfrac{200\times 3}{0.287\times 300}\ kg$

m= 6.96 kg

ΔU= 6.96 x 0.71 x (600 - 300)

ΔU=1482.48 KJ

From first law

Q= ΔU + W

Q= 0 Insulated

W = - ΔU

W= - 1482.48 KJ

It means that work done on the system.

Change in the entropy

$S_2-S_1=mC_v\ \ln\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}$

$S_2-S_1=6.96\times 0.71\ \ln\dfrac{600}{300}$

S₂ - S₁ = 3.42 KJ/K

A pendulum consists of a large balanced mass hanging on the end of a long wire. At the point where a 28-kg pendulum has the grea

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The length of the wire is approximately 67.1 m

Explanation:

The parameters of the pendulum are;

The mass of the pendulum, m = 28 kg

The angle between the pendulum weight and the wire, θ = 89°

The magnitude of the torque exerted by the pendulum's weight, τ = 1.84 × 10⁴ N·m

We have;

Torque, τ = F·L·sinθ = m·g·l·sinθ

Where;

F = The applies force = The weight of the pendulum = m·g

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

l = The length of the wire

Plugging in the values of the variables gives;

1.84 × 10⁴ N·m = 28 kg × 9.8 m/s² × l × sin(89°)

Therefore;

l = 1.84 × 10⁴ N·m/(28 kg × 9.8 m/s² × sin(89°)) = 67.0656080029 m ≈ 67.1 m

The length of the wire, l ≈ 67.1 m

An electron moving parallel to a uniform electric field increases its speed from 2.0 × 10^7 m/s to 4.0 × 10^7 m/s over a distanc

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

$E = 2.84 * 10^5 N/C$

Explanation:

The speed increased from 2.0 * 10^7 m/s to 4.0 * 10^7 m/s over a 1.2 cm distance.

Let us find the acceleration:

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as$

$(4.0 * 10^7)^2 = (2.0 * 10^7)^2 + 2 * a * 0.012\\\\(4.0 * 10^7)^2 - (2.0 * 10^7)^2 = 0.024a\\\\1.2 * 10^{15}= 0.024a\\\\a = 1.2 * 10^{15} / 0.024\\\\a = 5 * 10^{16} m/s^2$

Electric force is given as the product of charge and electric field strength:

F = qE

where q = electric charge

E = Electric field strength

Force is generally given as:

F = ma

where m = mass

a = acceleration

Equating both:

ma = qE

E = ma / q

For an electron:

m = 9.11 × 10^{-31} kg

q = 1.602 × 10^{-19} C

Therefore, the electric field strength of the electron is:

$E = \frac{9.11 * 10^{-31} * 5 * 10^{16}}{1.602 * 10^{-19}} \\\\E = 2.84 * 10^5 N/C$
