A bag containing originally 60 kg of flour is lifted through a vertical distance of 9 m. While it is being lifted, flour is leak

ing from the bag at such rate that the number of pounds lost is proportional to the square root of the distance traversed. If the total loss of flour is 12 kg find the amount of work done in lifting the bag.

Answer:

The amount of work done in lifting the bag is -20109.6 N-m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of bag = 60 kg

Distance = 9 m

Loss of mass = 12 kg

The number of pounds lost is proportional to the square root of the distance traversed

Mass of the bag containing flour at height is

m(y)=60-k\sqrt{y}

Put the value into the formula

60-k\sqrt{y}=12

k=144

We need to calculate the work done

Using formula of work done

W=\int_{0}^{9}{m(y)gdy}

Put the value into the formula

W=\int_{0}^{9}{(60-k\sqrt{y})gdy}

W=((60y-\dfrac{2k}{3}\times y^{\frac{3}{2}}})_{0}^{9})\times9.8

Put the value of y

W=(60\times9-\dfrac{2\times144}{3}\times 9^{\frac{3}{2}})\times9.8

W=-20109.6\ N-m

Hence, The amount of work done in lifting the bag is -20109.6 N-m

Answer:

The total work done is 5997.6 J

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the bag, m = 60 kg

Vertical distance, h = 9 m

Mass lost, m' = 12 kg

To calculate the amount of work done:

Lost mass is proportional to the square root of the distance covered while lifting:

m' ∝ \sqrt{h}

m' = K\sqrt{9}

where

K = proportionality constant

12 = 3K

K = 4

Mass of the floor containing bag at a height h:

m(h) = 60 - k\sqrt{h}

Work done is given by:

W = \int_{0}^{h}m(h)gdh

W = \int_{0}^{9}(60 - k\sqrt{h})gdh

W = g([60h]_{0}^{9} + 4\times \frac{2}{3}[h^{\frac{3}{2}}]_{0}^{9})

W = 9.8\times ([60\times 9 - 0] + \frac{8}{3}[9^{\frac{3}{2}} - 0^{\frac{3}{2}}])

W = 9.8\times (540 + \frac{8}{3}\times 27) = 5997.6\ J = 5.9976\ kJ

A football kick returner catches the ball just as a player from the opposing team dives to tackle him. At the time of impact, th

The total momentum of the players after collision is 130 kgm/s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Initial momentum of the returner, </em>P_i_1<em> = 0 kgm/s</em>
  • <em>The initial momentum of the diving player, </em>P_i_2<em> = 130 kgm/s</em>

The total momentum of the players after collision is determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;

P_f = P_i_1 + P_i_2\\\\P_f = 0 + 130\\\\P_f = 130 \ kgm/s

Thus, the total momentum of the players after collision is 130 kgm/s.

A rubber band has potential energy of 5 J. If the spring constant of the rubber band is 50 N/m, what is the displacement of the
Valentin [98]
To determine the displacement, since we are given the potential energy, we use the equation for potential energy. For a spring, it is one-half the product of the spring constant and the square of the displacement. We do as follows:

PE = kx^2/2
5 Nm = 50N/m (x^2)
x = 0.32 m

Therefore, the displacement would be 0.32 m.

What is 800,000,000 meters in scientific notation
Paladinen [302]

8 x 10^8 = 800,000,000

In Scientific Notation, your goal is to get your the number you're multiplying by 10 (8 in this case) to be between 0 and 10.  Therefore, you would NOT have 80 x 10^7 because 80 is not between 0 and 10.
