A 10 kg weight is suspended in the air by a strong cable. How much work is done, per unit time, in suspending the weight

Physics
1 answer:
tankabanditka [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

There is no work done.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass = 10 kg

To find the work done?

In Physics, work done can be defined as the amount of energy transfered when an object or body is moved over a distance due to the action of an external force.

Mathematically, work done is given by the formula;

Work done = force * distance

W = F * d

Where,

  • W is the work done
  • F represents the force acting on a body.
  • d represents the distance covered by the body.

<em>However, the weight suspended in the air by a strong cable does not move or experience any form of displacement. Therefore, there is no work done. </em>

The electric motor of a model train accelerates the train from rest to 0.685 m/s in 21.5 ms. The total mass of the train is 875
Natali [406]

Answer:

P=9.58 W

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, and assuming friction force as zero:

F_m=m.a\\F_m=0.875kg*a

The acceleration is given by:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}\\a=\frac{0.685m/s}{21.5*10^{-3}s}\\\\a=31.9m/s^2

So the force exerted  by the motor is:

F_m=0.875kg*31.9m/s^2\\F_m=27.9N

The work done by the motor is given by:

W_m=F_m*d\\\\d=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\d=\frac{1}{2}*31.9m/s^2*(21.5*10^{-3}s)^2\\\\d=7.37*10^{-3}m

W_m=27.9N*7.37*10^{-3}m\\W_m=0.206J

And finally, the power is given by:

P=\frac{W_m}{t}\\P=\frac{0.206J}{21.5*10^{-3}s}\\\\P=9.58W

Water at the top of a slope has potential energy. true or false
ASHA 777 [7]
<span>The statement is TRUE. Water does have potential energy at the top of a slope. The reason why is that potential energy is energy possessed by a body based on its position relative to a zero point. In this case, water at the top of the slope is at an elevation above ground (zero point). The energy is not kinetic (moving) energy since the water is not moving.</span>

A guitar string vibrates at a frequency of 330Hz with wavelength 1.40m. The frequency and wavelength of this sound wave in air (
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Same frequency, shorter wavelength

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by

v=f\lambda

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

where,

f = Frequency

\lambda = Wavelength

It can be seen that the wavelength is directly proportional to the velocity.

Here the frequency of the sound does not change.

But the velocity of the sound in air is slower.

Hence, the frequency remains same and the wavelength shortens.
