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

If the 50 kg boy were in a spacecraft 5.0r from the center of the earth, what would his weight be?
Lady_Fox [76]
·The acceleration of gravity is proportional to

                       1 / (the square of the distance from the center) .

When we're on the surface, we're 1 radius from the center of the Earth,
and the acceleration of gravity is  9.8 m/s² .

The boy's weight = (mass) · (gravity) = (50kg) · (9.8 m/s²)

                                                             =      490 newtons .

At the distance of 5 radii from the center (4 radii altitude from the surface),
the acceleration of gravity is

                 (9.8 m/s²) · (1/5)²  =  0.39 m/s² .

The boy's weight is    (mass) · (gravity)  =  (50kg) · (0.39 m/s²)

                                                                  =     19.6 newtons .

Just as we expected, his weight at that distance is

         (19.6 / 490) = 0.04  =  1/25  =  1/5²  of his weight on the surface.

Moving with a speed of v km/hour, a train travels the distance between the points A and B, which is 600 km, in t hours. Find the
NARA [144]
<h2>Formula which describes v in terms of t is v=\frac{600}{t}km/hr</h2>

Explanation:

A train travels the distance between the points A and B, which is 600 km

Distance between A and B = 600 km

Speed of train = v

Time taken by train = t

We know that

              Distance traveled = Speed of travel x Time taken

              600 = v x t

               v=\frac{600}{t}km/hr

Formula which describes v in terms of t is v=\frac{600}{t}km/hr
