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

Calculate the potentia energy of a car with a mass of 3800kg that is on a hill 110 meters above sea level? USE 10 instead of 9.8
Arada [10]

Potential energy (PE ) = m g h

Where:

m = mass = 3800 kg

g = acceleration due gravity = 10 m/s^2

h = heigth = 110 meters

Replacing:

PE = 3800 * 10 * 110 = 4,180,000 J

Now she is out on a hike and comes to the left bank of a river. There is no bridge and the right bank is 10.0 mm away horizontal
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

a. 8.96 m/s b. 1.81 m

Explanation:

Here is the complete question.

a) A long jumper leaves the ground at 45° above the horizontal and lands 8.2 m away.

What is her "takeoff" speed  v 0 ?

b) Now she is out on a hike and comes to the left bank of a river. There is no bridge and the right bank is 10.0 m away horizontally and 2.5 m, vertically below.  

If she long jumps from the edge of the left bank at 45° with the speed calculated in part a), how long, or short, of the opposite bank will she land?

a. Since she lands 8.2 m away and leaves at an angle of 45 above the horizontal, this is a case of projectile motion. We calculate the takeoff speed v₀ from R = v₀²sin2θ/g. where R = range = 8.2 m.

So, v₀ = √gR/sin2θ = √9.8 × 8.2/sin(2×45) = √80.36/sin90 = √80.36 = 8.96 m/s.

b. We use R = v₀²sin2θ/g to calculate how long or short of the opposite bank she will land. With v₀ = 8.96 m/s and θ = 45

R = 8.96²sin(2 × 45)/9.8 = 80.2816/9.8 = 8.192 m.

So she land 8.192 m away from her bank. The distance away from the opposite bank she lands is 10 - 8.192 m = 1.808 m ≅ 1.81 m

Which feature of a heating curve indicates a change of state?
Andreas93 [3]
A "heating curve" is a graph that shows the temperature of the substance
against the amount of heat you put into it.

For most of the graph, as you'd expect, the temperature goes up as you
add heat, and it goes down as you take heat away.  BUT ... While the
substance is changing state, its temperature doesn't change even though
you're putting heat in or taking heat out.

So that part of the graph is a horizontal line.
