Answer:

if

Explanation:

weight is the force of gravity on a mass; the force of gravity is

F = G M m/r^2

F is grav force

G is the newtonian gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

M=mass of the earth

m=mass of the object

r= radius of the earth

if the mass of the earth increases by a factor of 6, this will tend to increase the grav force by a factor of 6

if the radius increases by a factor of 5, this will change the grav force by a factor of 1/5^2 = 1/25

the total effect is 6/25 = 0.24; therefore, your weight would be 0.24 * 620N = 149N

A crane lifts a 425 kg steel beam vertically upward a distance of 66 m. How much work does the crane do on the beam if the beam

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

W = 311074.5 [J]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must analyze two parts, in the first part by means of Newton's second law we can determine the acceleration of the beam, remembering that the sum of the forces is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

F = forces acting on the beam [N]

m = mass = 425 [kg]

a = acceleration = 1.8 [m/s²]

The forces acting on the beam are the force of the crane up (positive) and the weight of the beam down (negative)

$F_{crane}-(425*9.81)= 425*1.8\\F_{crane}=4713.25 [N]$

Now in the second part, we use the definition of work, which is equal to the product of the force applied in the direction of displacement, that is, the product of force by distance.

$W=F*d$

where:

W = work [J]

F = force = 4713.25 [N]

d = distance = 66 [m]

$W=4713.25*66\\W=311074.5[J]$

A person throws a stone from the corner edge of a building. The stone's initial velocity is 28.0 m/s directed at 43.0° above the

Naya [18.7K]

The stone's acceleration, velocity, and position vectors at time $t$ are

$\mathbf a(t)=-g\,\mathbf j$

$\mathbf v(t)=v_{i,x}\,\mathbf i+\left(v_{i,y}-gt\right)\,\mathbf j$

$\mathbf r(t)=v_{i,x}t\,\mathbf i+\left(y_i+v_{i,y}t-\dfrac g2t^2\right)\,\mathbf j$

where

$g=9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

$v_{i,x}=\left(28.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos43.0^\circ\approx20.478\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$v_{i,y}=\left(28.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin43.0^\circ\approx19.096\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

and $y_i$ is the height of the building and initial height of the rock.

(a) After 6.1 s, the stone has a height of 5 m. Set the vertical component $(\mathbf j)$ of the position vector to 5 m and solve for $y_i$ :

$5\,\mathrm m=y_i+\left(19.096\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(6.1\,\mathrm s)-\dfrac12\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.1\,\mathrm s)^2$

$\implies\boxed{y_i\approx70.8\,\mathrm m}$

(b) Evaluate the horizontal component $(\mathbf i)$ of the position vector when $t=6.1\,\mathrm s$ :

$\left(20.478\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(6.1\,\mathrm s)\approx\boxed{124.92\,\mathrm m}$

(c) The rock's velocity vector has a constant horizontal component, so that

$v_{f,x}=v_{i,x}\approx20.478\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

where $v_{f,x}$

For the vertical component, recall the formula,

${v_{f,y}}^2-{v_{i,y}}^2=2a\Delta y$

where $v_{i,y}$ and $v_{f,y}$ are the initial and final velocities, $a$ is the acceleration, and $\Delta y$ is the change in height.

When the rock hits the ground, it will have height $y_f=0$ . It's thrown from a height of $y_i$ , so $\Delta y=-y_i$ . The rock is effectively in freefall, so $a=-g$ . Solve for $v_{f,y}$ :

${v_{f,y}}^2-\left(19.096\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=2(-g)(-124.92\,\mathrm m)$

$\implies v_{f,y}\approx-53.039\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

(where we took the negative square root because we know that $v_{f,y}$ points in the downward direction)

So at the moment the rock hits the ground, its velocity vector is

$\mathbf v_f=\left(20.478\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(-53.039\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf j$

which has a magnitude of

$\|\mathbf v_f\|=\sqrt{\left(20.478\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2+\left(-53.039\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2}\approx\boxed{56.855\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}$

(d) The acceleration vector stays constant throughout, so

$\mathbf a(t)=\boxed{-g\,\mathbf j}$
