Find the work done in pumping gasoline that weighs 6600 newtons per cubic meter. A cylindrical gasoline tank 3 meters in diamete

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

work done in pumping the entire fuel is 466587 J

Explanation:

weight of the gasoline per volume = 6600 N/m^3

diameter of the tank = 3 m

length of the tank = 2 m

height of the tractor tank above the top of the tank = 5 m

work done in pumping fuel to this height = ?

First, we find the volume of the fuel

since the tank is cylindrical, we assume that the fuel within also takes the cylindrical shape.

Also, we assume that the fuel completely fills the tank.

volume of a cylinder = $\pi r^{2}l$

where r = radius = diameter ÷ 2 = 3/2 = 1.5 m

volume of the cylinder = 3.142 x $1.5^{2}$ x 2 = 14.139 m^3

we then find the total weight of the fuel in Newton

total weight = (weight per volume) x volume

total weight = 6600 x 14.139 = 93317.4 N

work done = (total weight of the fuel) x (height through which the fuel is pumped)

work done in pumping = 93317.4 x 5 = 466587 J

If I = 2.0 A in the circuit segment shown below, what is the potential difference VB - VA?

Tom [10]

Answer:

10 V

Explanation:

The potential difference between two points is the amount of work required to carry a unit charge from one point to the other point. This would result in a potential difference between this two points.

The difference between the potential across two points B and A is $V_{BA}=V_B-V_A$

From the image attached:

$V_B-V_A=10-10I+20\\\\But\ I = 2A,hence:\\\\V_B-V_A=10-10(2)+20\\\\V_B-V_A=10-20+20\\\\V_B-V_A=10\ V$

From the gravitational law calculate the weight W (gravitational force with respect to the earth) of a 89-kg man in a spacecraft

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

$W=\frac{773}{4.45}=173.76 l b f$

Explanation:

$W=\frac{G \cdot m_{e} \cdot m}{(R+h)^{2}}$

The law of gravitation

$G=6.673\left(10^{-11}\right) m^{3} /\left(k g \cdot s^{2}\right)$

Universal gravitational constant [S.I. units]

$m_{e}=5.976\left(10^{24}\right) k g$

Mass of Earth [S.I. units]

$m=89 kg$

Mass of a man in a spacecraft [S.I. units]

$R=6371 \mathrm{~km}$

Earth radius [km]

Distance between man and the earth's surface

$h=261 \mathrm{~km} \quad[\mathrm{~km}]$

ESULT $W=\frac{6.673\left(10^{-11}\right) \cdot 5.976\left(10^{24}\right) \cdot 89}{\left(6371 \cdot 10^{3}+261 \cdot 10^{3}\right)^{2}}=773.22 \mathrm{~N}$

$W=\frac{773}{4.45}=173.76 l b f$

What is wrong with the following statement: When you exert a force on a baseball, the equal and opposite force on the ball balan

gregori [183]

Answer:

When you exert a force on a baseball, there exists an equal and opposite force on the ball therefore, the ball will accelerate in opposite direction.

Explanation:

When you hit a ball with baseball bat, the bat exerts a great force on the ball which causes the ball to accelerate in the opposite direction. It is to be noted that the mass of bat is much greater than mass of ball but the acceleration of ball is also greater than the acceleration of the bat so both bat and ball almost exert same magnitude of force but in opposite direction and as a result both bat and ball accelerate in opposite direction, the deciding factor is of course the relative force applied by the batter and the bowler.
