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

An airplane traveling at half the speed of sound emits a sound of frequency 5.84 kHz. (a) At what frequency does a stationary li
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Stationary listener frequency = 77.68 kHz

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of airplane = 344/2 = 172 m/s

Sound of frequency = 5.84 kHz

Computation:

f0 = fs[(v+v0)/(v-vs)]

f0 = 5.84[(344+0)/(344-172)]

f0 = 5.84[(344)/172]

Stationary listener frequency = 77.68 kHz

A penny is dropped from the top of a building 290 m high. Ignoring air resistance, if
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Vf = 75.4 m/s

Explanation:

In order to find the final velocity of the penny when it would hit the ground, we will use the equation of motion. In this particular case the third equation of motion can be used. The third equation of motion is written as follows:

2gh = Vf² - Vi²

where,

Vf = Final Velocity of the penny when it would hit the ground = ?

Vi = Initial Velocity of the penny = 0 m/s (Since, the penny starts from rest)

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = height of building = 290 m

Therefore,

2(9.8 m/s²)(290 m) = Vf² - (0 m/s)²

Vf = √(5684 m²/s²)

<u>Vf = 75.4 m/s</u>
