A 3.8kw elective motor powers an inclined conveyer belt. It is designed to lift heavy boxes from the warehouse floor to loading

bay. Answer the following:
a)State the energy conversion performed by the motor
b) Calculate the work done by the motor in 14 s
c) If the conveyer belt takes 14 to lift its load vertically by 5.3m, calculate the maximum mass that can carried by the conveyer belt maximum mass that can be carried by the conveyer belt
d) If a small box were to fall off the conveyer belt and hit the floor, calculate the speed at which it would hit the ground if falls from a vertical height of 4.7m

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of power and work in physics.

a)

The function of the conveyor belt is to carry the boxes from an initial point that is at low altitude to an end point that is at high altitude. In this way the conveyor belt prints a speed to the box to be able to raise it to the required vertical distance.

Since we have a velocity at the beginning and then we place the box at a high position, where then the box remains at rest, we can say that it converts kinetic energy to potential energy.

b)

Power is defined as the relationship of work over time. Therefore we have:

P=W/t

where:

P = power = 3.8 [kW] = 3800 [W]

W = work [J]

t = time = 14 [s]

W=P*t\\W=3800*14\\W= 53200[J] = 53.2[kJ]

c)

Since the given time is equal to the given time at Point b, we can use the same work calculated.

We know that work is defined as the product of force by the distance traveled.

W =F*d

So, the force is equal to:

F=W/d\\F=53200/5.3\\F=10037.73[N]

Now we know that force is defined as the product of mass by gravitation acceleration.

F =m*g

where:

F = force or weight = 10037.73 [N]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

m = mass [kg]

m=F/g\\m = 10037.73/9.81\\m = 1023.2 [kg]

d)

This part can be solved by means of the energy conservation theorem, where the potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy or vice versa.

E_{pot}=m*g*h = E_{kin}=0.5*m*v^{2}

where:

h = elevation = 4.7 [m]

v = velocity [m/s]

m*g*h=0.5*m*v^{2}\\g*h=0.5*v^{2} \\v=\sqrt{\frac{g*h}{0.5} } \\v=\sqrt{\frac{9.81*4.7}{0.5} }   \\v = 9.6 [m/s]

Fe₂O3<br> + co<br> →<br> Fe3O4 + CO₂
Goryan [66]

Explanation:

                    Fe₂O₃  + CO  → Fe₃O₄ + CO₂

Balancing the equation above, we can derive simple mathematical equations that are very easy to solve.

             aFe₂O₃  + bCO  → cFe₃O₄ + dCO₂

a,b,c and d are the coefficients needed to balance the equation above;

  Conserving Fe; 2a = 3c

                       O: 3a + b = 4c + 2d

                        C: b = d

 let a = 1;

      c = \frac{2}{3}

      Since b = d

                  3a + d = 4c + 2d

                    3a = 4c + 2d - d

                     3a = 4c + d

           a = 1, c = \frac{2}{3}

                    3 = 4 x \frac{2}{3}  +  d

                   d = \frac{1}{3}

                    b = \frac{1}{3}

multiplying a, b, c and d by 3:

            a = 3    b = 1     c = 2   and d = 1

                  3Fe₂O₃  + CO  → 2Fe₃O₄ + CO₂

pogonyaev
Hello,

The answer is option A "Venus".

Reason:

The planet Venus spins the wrong way many scientists are not sure why. Its not options B, C, or D because these planets spin the same way the as each other. (besides Venus) Therefore the answer is option A.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

We need to find the launch velocity of our new marble launcher. we know that it will launch a 25g marble to a distance of 73 cm,
White raven [17]

The launch velocity of the marble launcher is 34.65 m/s

Given that the launch velocity of marble launcher, launches a 25g marble to a distance of 73 cm (0.73 m) and the marble roll up to 6.2 meters before stopping. The launch height is 20 cm (0.2 m).

The time for landing can be calculated by the second equation of motion formula:

h = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Let u = 0

0.2 = 0×t + \frac{1}{2} × 9.8 × t^{2}

t^{2} = \frac{0.2}{4.9}

t^{2} = 0.04

t = 0.2s

Now, the launch velocity of the marble launcher can be calculated by:

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed = \frac{0.73 + 6.3}{0.2}

Speed = \frac{6.93}{0.2}

Speed = 34.65 m/s

Therefore, the launch velocity of the marble launcher is 34.65 m/s
