What is the work required to lift a 10 kg box off the ground to a height of 5.0 m?

Physics
1 answer:
FinnZ [79.3K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

490J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of box  = 10kg

Height  = 5m

Unknown:

Work done  = ?

Solution:

Work done can be derived from the product of force and distance;

   Work done = force x distance

 Force here is applied by gravity and it is the weight

 The distance is the height

  Work done  = weight x height

 Work done  = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

 Work done  = 10 x 9.8 x 5  = 490J

An adult elephant has a mass of about 5.0 tons. An adult elephant shrew has a mass of about 50 grams. How far r from the center
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

2023857702.507m

Explanation:

f=\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }

recall from newton's law of gravitation

G=gravitational constant

mshew=50g

melephant=5*10^3kg

rearth=radius of the earth 6400km or 6400000m

mearth= masss of the earth

Gm(shrew)m(earth)/r(earth)^2 = Gm(elephant)m(earth)/r^2

strike out the left hand side and right hand side variables

m(shrew)/r(earth)^2 = m(elephant)/r^2

r^2 = m(elephant).r(earth)^2 / m(shrew)       .........make r^2 the subject of the equation

r^2=(5*10^{3} *(6400000)^{2} )/.05

r^2=40960000000000

r=2023857702.507m

Air (14.5 lb) undergoes a polytropic process in a closed system from p1 = 80 lbf/in2, υ1 = 4 ft3/lb to a final state where p2 =
Yanka [14]
The energy transfer in terms of work has the equation:

W = mΔ(PV)

To be consistent with units, let's convert them first as follows:

P₁ = 80 lbf/in² * (1 ft/12 in)² = 5/9 lbf/ft²
P₂ = 20 lbf/in² * (1 ft/12 in)² = 5/36 lbf/ft²
V₁ = 4 ft³/lbm
V₂ = 11 ft³/lbm

W = m(P₂V₂ - P₁V₁)
W = (14.5 lbm)[(5/36 lbf/ft²)(4 ft³/lbm) - (5/9 lbf/ft²)(11 lbm/ft³)]
W = -80.556 ft·lbf

In 1 Btu, there is 779 ft·lbf. Thus, work in Btu is:
W = -80.556 ft·lbf(1 Btu/779 ft·lbf)
<em>W = -0.1034 BTU</em>

While the block hovers in place, is the density of the block (top left) or the density of the liquid (bottom center) greater?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

for the body to float, the density of the body must be less than or equal to the density of the liquid.

Explanation:

For a block to float in a liquid, the thrust of the liquid must be greater than or equal to the weight of the block.

Weight is

        W = mg

let's use the concept of density

        ρ_body = m / V

        m = ρ_body V

        W = ρ_body V g

The thrust of the body is given by Archimedes' law

        B = ρ_liquid g V_liquid

 

as the body floats the submerged volume of the liquid is less than or equal to the volume of the block

       ρ_body V g = ρ_liquid g V_liquid

     

       ρ_body = ρ liquid Vliquido / V_body

As we can see, for the body to float, the density of the body must be less than or equal to the density of the liquid.
