Answer:

We can also prove the conservation of mechanical energy of a freely falling body by the work-energy theorem, which states that change in kinetic energy of a body is equal to work done on it. i.e. W=ΔK. And ΔE=ΔK+ΔU. Hence the mechanical energy of the body is conserved

Find the work done in pumping gasoline that weighs 6600 newtons per cubic meter. A cylindrical gasoline tank 3 meters in diamete

almond37 [142]

Answer:

work done in pumping the entire fuel is 1399761 J

Explanation:

weight per volume of the gasoline = 6600 N/m^3

diameter of the tank = 3 m

length of the tank = 6 m

The height of the tractor tank above the top of the tank = 5 m

The total volume of the fuel is gotten below

we know that the tank is cylindrical.

we assume that the fuel completely fills the tank.

therefore, the volume of a cylinder =

where r = radius = diameter ÷ 2 = 3/2 = 1.5 m

volume of the cylinder = 3.142 x x 6 = 42.417 m^3

we then proceed to find the total weight of the fuel in Newton

total weight = (weight per volume) x volume

total weight = 6600 x 42.417 = 279952.2 N

therefore,

the work done to pump the fuel through to the 5 m height = (total weight of the fuel) x (height through which the fuel is pumped)

work done in pumping = 279952.2 x 5 = 1399761 J

The equation for the speed of an electromagnetic wave is

igomit [66]

Answer:

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

Explanation:

The speed of the electromagnetic wave in free space is given in terms of the permeability and the permittivity of free space by

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

where the permeability of free space (μ₀) is a physical constant used often in electromagnetism and ε₀ is the permittivity of free space (a physical constant).

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Momentum describing the inelastic collision of two bodies. By definition the collision between the two bodies is given as:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)V_f$
