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

sveta [45]

Answer:

It covers distance of 9.15 football fields in the said time.

Explanation:

We know that

Distance=Speed\times Time

Thus distance covered in blinking of eye =

Distance=7.6\times 10^{3}m/s\times 110\times 10^{-3}s\\\\Distance=836 meters

Thus no of football fields=\frac{936}{91.4}=9.15Fields

A wave travels at a constant speed.How does the frequency change if the wavelength is reduced by a factor of 3 The frequency dec
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The frequency increases by a factor of 3.

Explanation:

The relation between speed, wavelength and frequency of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda

or

f\propto \dfrac{1}{\lambda}

A wave travels at a constant speed. If the wavelength is reduced by a factor of 3, it would mean that the frequency increases by a factor of 3 because there is an inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency.
