Answer:

See the answers below

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of power and work in physics.

a)

The function of the conveyor belt is to carry the boxes from an initial point that is at low altitude to an end point that is at high altitude. In this way the conveyor belt prints a speed to the box to be able to raise it to the required vertical distance.

Since we have a velocity at the beginning and then we place the box at a high position, where then the box remains at rest, we can say that it converts kinetic energy to potential energy.

b)

Power is defined as the relationship of work over time. Therefore we have:

P=W/t

where:

P = power = 3.8 [kW] = 3800 [W]

W = work [J]

t = time = 14 [s]

W=P*t\\W=3800*14\\W= 53200[J] = 53.2[kJ]

c)

Since the given time is equal to the given time at Point b, we can use the same work calculated.

We know that work is defined as the product of force by the distance traveled.

W =F*d

So, the force is equal to:

F=W/d\\F=53200/5.3\\F=10037.73[N]

Now we know that force is defined as the product of mass by gravitation acceleration.

F =m*g

where:

F = force or weight = 10037.73 [N]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

m = mass [kg]

m=F/g\\m = 10037.73/9.81\\m = 1023.2 [kg]

d)

This part can be solved by means of the energy conservation theorem, where the potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy or vice versa.

E_{pot}=m*g*h = E_{kin}=0.5*m*v^{2}

where:

h = elevation = 4.7 [m]

v = velocity [m/s]

m*g*h=0.5*m*v^{2}\\g*h=0.5*v^{2} \\v=\sqrt{\frac{g*h}{0.5} } \\v=\sqrt{\frac{9.81*4.7}{0.5} }   \\v = 9.6 [m/s]

The correct answer would be C. it moves at a constant speed. The troposphere(the layer our weather is in) is not nearly high enough for gravity to be different at different altitudes.

The operating temperature of a tungsten filament in an incandescent light bulb is 2450 K, and its emissivity is 0.350. Find the
natulia [17]

Answer:

The value is   A =  2.80 *10^{-4} \  m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The  operating temperature is  T  =  2450 \  K

The emissivity is  e =  0.350

 The  power rating is  P  =  200 \  W

Generally the area is mathematically represented as

      A = \frac{P}{ e *  \sigma  *  T^2}

Where  \sigma is the Stefan Boltzmann constant  with value  

      \sigma  =  5.67 *10^{-8} \  W/m^2\cdot K^4

So

     A =  \frac{200}{0.350 *  5.67*10^{-8} *  2450^{4}}

     A =  2.80 *10^{-4} \  m^2

Any two application of gravity
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Well the definition of an application is the act of putting to a special use or purpose so lam assuming that you want specific uses that scientists make of gravity in their work.

Well our first application has helped us to send satellites around the solar system with what Nasa calls gravity assist. Using a particular planets gravity to slingshot a satellite to another destination. Look it up.

The next application much simpler but here on Earth. There are many hydro-electric power stations in use all over the world. Water is stored at a high level and released falling 100s of metres to a turbine where it generates electricity.

Hope that helps.

A thin uniform rod of mass M and length L is bent at its center so that the two segments are now perpendicular to each other. Fi
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

(a) I_A=1/12ML²

(b) I_B=1/3ML²

Explanation:

We know that the moment of inertia of a rod of mass M and lenght L about its center is 1/12ML².

(a) If the rod is bent exactly at its center, the distance from every point of the rod to the axis doesn't change. Since the moment of inertia depends on the distance of every mass to this axis, the moment of inertia remains the same. In other words, I_A=1/12ML².

(b) The two ends and the point where the two segments meet form an isorrectangle triangle. So the distance between the ends d can be calculated using the Pythagorean Theorem:

d=\sqrt{(\frac{1}{2}L) ^{2}+(\frac{1}{2}L) ^{2} } =\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}L^{2} } =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } L=\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} L

Next, the point where the two segments meet, the midpoint of the line connecting the two ends of the rod, and an end of the rod form another rectangle triangle, so we can calculate the distance between the two axis x using Pythagorean Theorem again:

x=\sqrt{(\frac{1}{2}L)^{2}-(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}L)  ^{2} } =\sqrt{\frac{1}{8} L^{2} } =\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} L=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} L

Finally, using the Parallel Axis Theorem, we calculate I_B:

I_B=I_A+Mx^{2} \\\\I_B=\frac{1}{12} ML^{2} +\frac{1}{4}  ML^{2} =\frac{1}{3} ML^{2}
