A 2 300-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 3.00 m before coming into contact

with the top of the beam, and it drives the beam 15.6 cm farther into the ground before coming to rest. Using energy considerations, calculate the average force the beam exerts on the pile driver while the pile driver is brought to rest.

Answer:

433903.8 N

Explanation:

From work energy theorem, the total work done is equivalent to change in kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is depedant on speed and since pile drive finally comes to rest, then final velocity is zero. Also, its initial velocity is not given. Therefore, the sum of work due to gravity and beam equals to zero. Work due to gravity is product of mass of pile driver, acceleration due to gravity and height while work due to beam is a product of force and distance. Substituting the given values then

2300*9.81*3+(F*0.156)=0

F=-433903.84615384615384615384615384615384615 N

Approximately, the magnitude of force is 433903.8 N and it acts upwards

kogti [31]

Answer:

111.5 m

Explanation:

Given that You are driving to the grocery store at 14 m/s. You are 115 m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. Assume that your reaction time is 0.50 s and that your car brakes with constant acceleration. 

Use first equation of motion

V = U - at

Since the car is going to rest, V = 0 and a = negative

0 = 14 - a × 0.5

0.5a = 14

a = 14 /0.5

a = 28 m/s^2

Let us use second equation of motion

S = Ut - 1/2at^2

S = 14 × 0.5 - 0.5 × 28 × 0.5^2

S = 7 - 3.5

S = 3.5 m

115 - 3.5 = 111.5

Therefore, you are 111.5 metres from the intersection (in m) when you begin to apply the brakes.

An airplane flies 40km directly south in 10 minutes and 20 km directly east in five minutes, its average speed is:
blondinia [14]
Average speed = total distance / total time
total distance = 40 + 20 = 60km
total time taken = 10 + 5 = 15 minutes
Average speed = 60/15 = 4km/min

b) When the ball is near its maximum height it experiences a brief gust of wind that reduces its horizontal velocity by 2.50 m/s
fomenos

Answer:

The horizontal distance is 0.64 m.

Explanation:

Initial velocity, u =2.5m/s

The maximum horizontal distance is

R = \frac{u^2}{2g}\\\\R = \frac{2.5\times 2.5}{9.8}\\\\R = 0.64 m
