Answer:

Workdone = 147Nm

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 5kg

Height = 3m

We know that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s²

First of all, we would find the force applied;

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 5*9.8

Force = 49N

Now, to find the workdone;

Workdone = force * distance

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Workdone = 49 * 3

Workdone = 147Nm

The protons and electrons are held in place on the x axis.
The proton is at x = -d and the electron is at x = +d. They are released at the same time and the only force that affects movement is the electrostatic force that is applied on both subatomic particles. According to Newton's third law, the force Fpe exerted on protons by the electron is opposite in magnitude and direction to the force Fep exerted on the electron by the proton. That is, Fpe = - Fep. According to Newton's second law, this equation can be written as
                               Mp * ap = -Me * ae
where Mp and Me are the masses, and ap and ae are the accelerations of the proton and the electron, respectively. Since the mass of the electron is much smaller than the mass of the proton, in order for the equation above to hold, the acceleration of the electron at that moment must be considerably larger than the acceleration of the proton at that moment. Since electrons have much greater acceleration than protons, they achieve a faster rate than protons and therefore first reach the origin.

A grain silo is shown below:grain silo formed by cylinder with radius 5 feet and height 175 feet and a half sphere on the topwha
nekit [7.7K]
Find the volume of the bottom and top separately and then add them.
Cylinder volume is the area of the bottom times the height
(22/7)(5^2)•175=13750 ft^3

The volume of a sphere is
V=(4/3)(22/7)r^3
where r is the radius. Here that's also 5 since it fits on the cylinder.
Also we only want half the sphere so use
V=(2/3)(22/7)•5^3=261.9 ft^3
Which we round upto 262.
Now add the parts together
13750+262=14,012 ft^3
