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

If the position of a particle on the x-axis at time t is −5t2, then the average velocity of the particle for 0 ≤ t ≤ 3 is
Drupady [299]

Answer:

v = 15 m / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we are given the position function

          x = 5 t²

and we are asked for the average velocity in an interval between t = 0 and t= 3 s, which is defined by the displacement between the time interval

          v= \frac{v_{f} - v_{o} }{t_{f} - t_{o} }

let's look for the displacements

        t = 0     x₀ = 0 m

        t = 3     x_{f} = 5 3 2

                     x_{f} = 45 m

 

we substitute

           v = \frac{45 -0}{3 - 0}

           v = 15 m / s

Haley is trying to pull an object upward. The below forces are acting on the object.
ra1l [238]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define a reference system.

Suppose that the positive direction of the reference system is upward.

We have that the sum of forces in the vertical axis is given by:

Fy = Fp - Fg

Substituting values:

Fy = 5500 - 6000

Fy = - 500

The negative sign means that the direction of the force with respect to the defined coordinate system is downward.

Answer:

The net force is:

↓ 500N

Am arrow of mass 1000kg is shot into a wooden block of mass 5000lg lying at rest in a smooth surface.If the arrow travels 15m/s
Ber [7]

Answer:

Vf=3

Explanation:

you must first write your data

data before impact

M1=1000 M2=5000

V1=0 m/s V2 =0m/s

data after impact

M1=1000 M2=5000

V1=15m/s V2=?

M1V1 +M2V2=M1V1 +M2V2f

(1000)(0)+(5000)(0)=(1000)(15)+(5000)Vf

0=15000+5000Vf

- 15000÷5000=5000Vf÷5000

Vf= -3

Vf =3
