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

What is the minimum force required to increase the energy of a car by 84 J over a distance of 38 m? Assume the force is constant
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

2.210N

Explanation:

Workdone = Force x distance

Distance = 38m , Workdone = 84J

Hence 84J = Force x 38m

Force = 84J / 38m

Force = 2.210N =2.2N

g Can a rigid body experience any ACCELERATION when the resultant force acting on that rigid body is zero? Explain.Can a rigid b
Advocard [28]

Answer:

<em>No, a rigid body cannot experience any acceleration when the resultant force acting on the body is zero.</em>

Explanation:

If the net force on a body is zero, then it means that all the forces acting on the body are balanced and cancel out one another. This sate of equilibrium can be static equilibrium (like that of a rigid body), or dynamic equilibrium (that of a car moving with constant velocity)

For a body under this type of equilibrium,

ΣF = 0   ...1

where ΣF is the resultant force (total effective force due to all the forces acting on the body)

For a body to accelerate, there must be a force acting on it. The acceleration of a body is proportional to the force applied, for a constant mass of the body. The relationship between the net force and mass is given as

ΣF = ma   ...2

where m is the mass of the body

a is the acceleration of the body

Substituting equation 2 into equation 1, we have

0 = ma

therefore,

a = 0

this means that<em> if the resultant force acting on a rigid body is zero, then there won't be any force available to produce acceleration on the body.</em>
