Answer:

c. Joints allow the roadway to expand and contract as cars put force on the bridge

Explanation:

Joints in the roadways of bridges allows for the roadway to expand and contract as cars put force on the bridge.

The force on the bridge and the ambient temperature causes expansion of the materials used in making the bridge.

Joints allows and accommodate the expansion.
As the force is removed and temperature reduces, the road also contracts.

Suppose that a simple pendulum consists of a small 60.0 g bob at the end of a cord of negligible mass. If the angle 0 between th

erik [133]

Based on the mass of the bob and the angle between the cord and the vertical, the pendulum length is 0.50m.

The maximum kinetic energy can be found to be 9.42 x 10⁻⁴J.

<h3>What is the pendulum length?</h3>

This can be found as:

= g-force / w²

Solving gives:

= 9.8 / 4.43²

= 0.4998 m

= 0.50 m

<h3>What is the maximum kinetic energy?</h3>

This can be found as:

= 0.5 × m × w² × A²

Maximum kinetic energy is:

= 0.5 × 60 × 10⁻³ × (4.43 × 0.4998 x 0.08 rad)²

= 9.42 x 10⁻⁴J

A worker assigned to the restoration of the Washington Monument is checking the condition of the stone at the very top of the mo

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of the nickel at the top of the monument is 8.29 J.

Explanation:

We can find the gravitational potential energy using the following formula.

$GPE=mgh$

Identifying given information.

The nickel has a mass $m=0.005 \,kg$ , and it is a the top of Washington Monument.

The Washington Monument has a height of $h=555 \, ft$ , thus we need to find the equivalence in meters using unit conversion in order to find the gravitational potential energy.

Converting from feet to meters.

Using the conversion factor 1 m = 3.28 ft, we have

$h = 555 \, ft \times \cfrac{1 \, m}{3.28 \, ft}$

That give u s

$h = 169.2 \, m$

Finding Gravitational Potential Energy.

We can replace the height and mass on the formula

$GPE=mgh$

And we get

$GPE=(0.005)(9.8)(169.2) \, J$

$\boxed{GPE=8.29 \,J}$

The gravitational potential energy of the nickel at the top of the monument is 8.29 J.

A leaky 10-kg bucket is lifted from the ground to a height of 10 m at a constant speed with a rope that weighs 0.9 kg/m. Initial

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The work done shall be 14715 Joules

Explanation:

The work done by a force 'F' in a displacement 'dy' is given by

$W=m(y)g\times dy$

At any position 'y' the weight shall be sum of weft of water and weight of string

$\therefore m(y)=m_{water}(y)+m_{string}(y)\\\\m(y)=30(1-\frac{y}{10})+0.9y$

Thus applying values we get

$W=\int m(y)g\times dy\\\\W=\int_{0}^{10}(30(1-\frac{y}{10}+0.9y)\times g)dy\\\\Solving\\W=294.3\int_{0}^{10}(1-\frac{y}{10}+0.9y)dy\\\\W=14715J$
