A 1 800-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 4.60 m before coming into contact

with the top of the beam, and it drives the beam 13.6 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:

F = 614913.88 N

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of pile driver; m = 1800 kg

Height of fall of pole driver; h = 4.6 m

Depth driven into beam; d = 13.6 cm = 0.136 m

Now, from energy equations and applying to this question, we can write that;

Workdone = Change in potential energy

Formula for workdone is; W = F × d

While the average potential energy here is; W = mg(h + d)

Thus;

Fd = mg(h + d)

Where F is the average force exerted by the beam on the pile driver while in bringing it to rest.

Making F the subject, we have;

F = mg(h + d)/d

F = 1800 × 9.81 × (4.6 + 0.136)/0.136

F = 614913.88 N

The answer and how to do it?? Thanks
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

14 m/s²

Explanation:

Start with Newton's 2nd law: Fnet=ma, with F being force, m being mass, and a being acceleration. The applied forces on the left and right side of the block are equivalent, so they cancel out and are negligible. That way, you only have to worry about the y direction. Don't forget the force that gravity has the object. It appears to me that the object is falling, so there would be an additional force from going down from weight of the object. Weight is gravity (can be rounded to 10) x mass. Substitute 4N+weight in for Fnet and 1kg in for m.

(4N + 10 x 1kg)=(1kg)a

14/1=14, so the acceleration is 14 m/s²

A positively charged sphere with a charge of the of 8Q is separated from a negatively charged sphere - 2Q by a distance r. The s
professor190 [17]

Answer: The new force is:

F1 = -(9/16)*F0

where F0 is the initial force.

Explanation:

The charges of the spheres is q1 = 8Q and q2 = -2Q

and as you know, the force between charged objects is:

F = k*q1*q2/r^2

where k is a constant and r is the distance

F0 = -(k16Q^2)/r^2

where the negative sign means that the force is attractive.

Now, when the spheres touch each other, the charge must be distributed equally in both spheres. So the total charge is q1 + q2 = 8Q - 2Q = 6Q

then each sphere has now a charge of 3Q.

The new force is:

F1 = k*3Q*3Q/r^2 = (k*9*Q^2)/r^2 = -(9/16)*F0

You can see that F1 is positive, this means that the force now is repulsive.

Explain, in terms of impulse and momentum, how airbags help avoid injury in a car crash?
valentinak56 [21]

Explanation:

Impulse is the change in momentum.  It is also equal to the average force times the change in time.

J = Δp

F Δt = m Δv

The change in momentum is a fixed number; your mass, initial velocity, and final velocity are constant.

F Δt = k

So force and time are inversely proportional.  What this means is, we can either have a large force over a short period of time, or a small force over a long period of time.

Obviously, we want a small force over a long period of time.  Without airbags, your head would hit the steering wheel very quickly.  With airbags, your head has time to decelerate, so there's less force.

A stone was dropped off a cliff and hit the ground with a speed of 104 ft/s. what is the height of the cliff? (use 32 ft/s2 for
katovenus [111]

Let the stone is dropped off a cliff of height S m ft.

Given, initial velocity of the stone, u= 0 ft/s

Final velocity of the stone, v= 104 ft/s

Acceleration of the stone= Acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s²

Using the third equation of motion,

v² - u² = 2aS

Substituting the values we get,

(104)^{2}-(0)^{2}=2*32*S

S= 169 ft

Height of the cliff is 169 ft.
