Chapter 9: Q. 14 (page 227)

The motor of a crane uses power P to lift a steel beam. By what factor must the motor鈥檚 power increase to lift the beam twice as high in half the time?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Power becomes 4P , that is four times.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The motor of a crane uses power P to lift a steel beam.

Crane lift the beam twice as high in half the time .

02

Explanation

We know power is defined as P=Wt

Where, W= work done and t=time taken

Now find the power with double the height in half the time

Pnew=2PPnew=2Wt/2Pnew=4WtPnew=4P

You need to raise a heavy block by pulling it with a massless rope. You can either (a) pull the block straight up height h, or (b) pull it up a long, frictionless plane inclined at a 15o angle until its height has increased by h. Assume you will move the block at constant speed either way. Will you do more work in case a or case b? Or is the work the same in both cases? Explain.

FIGURE is the force-versus-position graph for a particle moving along the x-axis. Determine the work done on the particle during each of the three intervals 0鈥�1m, 1鈥�2m, and 2鈥�3m.

Two identical horizontal springs are attached to opposite sides of a box that sits on a frictionless table. The outer ends of the springs are clamped while the springs are at their equilibrium lengths. Then a 2.0N force applied to the box, parallel to the springs, compresses one spring by 3.0cm while stretching the other by the same amount. What is the spring constant of the springs?

An electric dipole consists of two equal but opposite electric charges, +q and -q, separated by a small distance d. If another charge Q is distance x from the center of the dipole, in the plane perpendicular to the line between +q and -q, and if x W d, the dipole exerts an electric force F=KqQd/x3on charge Q, where K is a constant. How much work does the electric force do if charge Q moves from distance x1tox2?

A 50kg sprinter, starting from rest, runs 50m in 7.0s at constant acceleration.

b. What is the sprinter鈥檚 power output at 2.0s, 4.0s, and6.0 s?
