A cable that weighs 4 lb/ft is used to lift 1000 lb of coal up a mine shaft 700 ft deep. Find the work done.

Physics

Answer:

<h2>980000ft-lbs</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass of cable= 4lb/ft

mass of coal= 1000lb

dept of mine= 700ft

Step two:

Required

the work-done to lift the coal and the rope combined

Work-done to lift coal

Wc=1000*700= 700,000 lb-ft

Work-done to lift rope

Wr=\int\limits^{700} _0 {4(700-y)} \, dx \\\\Wr=4(700y-\frac{1}{2}y^2 )\limits^{700}_0

substitute y=700 we have, since y=0 will result to 0

Wr=4(700*700-\frac{1}{2}*700^2 )\\\\Wr=4(490000-245000)\\\\Wr=4(245000)\\\\Wr=980000ft-lbs

Even though humans share 100% of the same genes, the instructions contained within the genes are not entirely identical. Each person is unique. People have different hair colors, facial structures, and other traits. These differences between individuals result from very small differences in their DNA sequences. DNA also contains many so-called "housekeeping genes" that control important metabolic processes. As you will see, some of the differences in these genes can cause illness.

Although the DNA of any two people on Earth is, in fact, 99.9% identical, even a tiny difference can have a big effect if this difference is located in a critical gene.

Willie, in a 100.0 m race, initially accelerates uniformly from rest at 2.00 m/s2 until reaching his top speed of 12.0 m/s. He m
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The total time for the race is 11.6 seconds

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Total distance ran by Willie = 100.0 m

Initial acceleration = 2.00m/s²

Top speed reached with initial acceleration = 12.0 m/s

Point where Willie start to fade and decelerate = 16.0 m from the finish line

Speed with which Willie crosses the finish line = 8.00 m/s

The time and distance covered with the initial acceleration are found using the following equations of motion;

v = u₀ + a·t

v² = u₀² + 2·a·s

Where:

v = Final velocity reached with the initial acceleration = 12.0 m/s

u₀ = Initial velocity at the start of the race = 0 m/s

t = Time during acceleration

a = Initial acceleration = 2.00 m/s²

s = Distance covered during the period of initial acceleration

From, v = u₀ + a·t, we have;

12 = 0 + 2×t

t = 12/2 = 6 seconds

From, v² = u₀² + 2·a·s, we have;

12² = 0² + 2×2×s

144 = 4×s

s = 144/4 =36 meters

Given that the Willie maintained the top speed of 12.0 m/s until he was 16.0 m from the finish line, we have;

Distance covered at top speed = 100 - 36 - 16 = 48 meters

Time, t_t of running at top speed = Distance/velocity = 48/12 = 4 seconds

The deceleration from top speed to crossing the line is found as follows;

v₁² = u₁² + 2·a₁·s₁

Where:

u₁ = v = 12 m/s

v₁ = The speed with which Willie crosses the line = 8.00 m/s

s₁ = Distance covered during decelerating = 16.0 m

a₁ = Deceleration

From which we have;

8² = 12² + 2 × a × 16

64 = 144 + 32·a

64 - 144 = 32·a

32·a = -80

a = -80/32 = -2.5 m/s²

From, v₁ = u₁ + a₁·t₁

Where:

t₁ = Time of deceleration

We have;

8 = 12 + (-2.5)·t₁

t₁ = (8 - 12)/(-2.5) = 1.6 seconds

The total time = t + t_t + t₁ =6 + 4 + 1.6 = 11.6 seconds.

Develop an equation (with a proportionality constant) that describes the relationship between the gravitational force (fgrav), t
ivolga24 [154]

According to newton's law of gravitation, the gravitational force(F)  is directly proportional to the product mass of the moon(Mm) and the mass of the planet (Mp) and it is inversely proportional to the square of the separation between them.

Fg ∝ (Mp)(Mm) →(1)

Fg ∝ 1/d²→(2)

Combining equation (1) and (2),

Fg ∝ (Mp)(Mm)/d²

Fg =  G(Mp)(Mm)/d²

This is an equation that describes the relation between mass of moon (Mm) and mass of planet (Mp) and separation(d) between them.

To support the claim in favuor of this equation we use this equation to obtain the value of acceleration due to gravity on earth.

Let m be the mass of an object on earth then Fg between earth (Mp) and mass of an object is obtained by:

Fg =  G(Mp)(m)/R², where R= Radius of earth

This force is equal to the weight of an object i.e.,

g= G(Mp)/R²

Putting the values of G, Mp and R , we get, g=9.81 m/s²

which is the value we obtained on earth for acceleration due to gravity.

Three point charges have equal magnitudes, two being positive and one negative. These charges are fixed to the corners of an equ
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Magnitude of the net force on q₁-

Fn₁=1403 N

Magnitude of the net force on q₂+

Fn₂= 810 N

Magnitude of the net force on q₃+

Fn₃= 810 N

Explanation:

Look at the attached graphic:

The charges of the same sign exert forces of repulsion and the charges of   opposite sign exert forces of attraction.

Each of the charges experiences 2 forces and these forces are equal and we calculate them with Coulomb's law:

F= (k*q*q)/(d)²

F= (9*10⁹*3*10⁻⁶*3*10⁻⁶)(0.01)² =810N

Magnitude of the net force on q₁-

Fn₁x= 0

Fn₁y= 2*F*sin60 = 2*810*sin60° = 1403 N

Fn₁=1403 N

Magnitude of the net force on q₃+

Fn₃x= 810- 810 cos 60° = 405 N

Fn₃y= 810*sin 60° = 701.5 N

Fn_{3} = \sqrt{405^{2}+701.5^{2}  }

Fn₃ = 810 N

Magnitude of the net force on q₂+

Fn₂ = Fn₃ = 810 N
