A pump is required to lift 800 kg of water (about 210 gallons) per minute from a well 14.0 m deep and eject it with a speed of 18.0 m/s. (a) How much work is done per minute in lifting the water? (b) How much work is done in giving the water the kinetic energy it has when ejected? (c) What must be the power output of the pump?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The work done is 1.10×105 J.
  2. The work done is 1.30×105 J.
  3. The power is 4.0 kW.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the given data

The mass is m = 800 kg.

The height is h = 14 m.

The velocity is v = 18 m/s.

02

Concept/Significance of Work

When the external force is applied to an object then it gets moved by a distance in which transfer energy takes place. This is called work.

03

Determine the work done per minute in lifting the water (a)

The expression to calculate the work done is given by,

W = mgh……………..(1)

Substitute 800 kg for m,9.8m/s2 for g, and 14 m for h in equation (1), we get,

W=800kg9.8m/s214m=109760J=1.10×105J

Therefore, the required work done is 1.10×105J.

04

Determine the work done due to kinetic energy(b)

Find the kinetic energy the pump has when it has ejected the water as follows:

KE=12mv2…â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦..(2)

Substitute 800 kg for m, and 18 m/s for v in equation (2).

role="math" localid="1663757519892" W=12800kg18m2=129600J=1.30×105J

Therefore, the required work done is 1.30×105J.

05

Determine the power output of the pump(c)

The power can be calculated as follows.

P=Wtotalt=KE+Wt…â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦..(3)

Substituterole="math" localid="1663757706553" 1.10×105J for W,1.3×105J for KE, and 1min for t in equation (3), we get,

P=1.10×105J+1.30×105J1min60s1min=4000W1kW1000W=4.0kW

Therefore, the required power is 4.0 kW.

The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to

another planet is to use a Hohmann transfer orbit(Fig. P13.79). If the orbits of

the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit

is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of

the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the departure planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches

the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft

into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from

earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at

Mars: in the direction of motion or opposite the direction of motion? What

about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one-way trip

from the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach

Mars from the earth, the launch must be timed so that Mars will be at the right

spot when the spacecraft reaches Mars’s orbit around the sun. At launch, what

must the angle between a sun–Mars line and a sun–earth line be? Use

The acceleration of a particle is given by ax(t)=−2.00 m/s2+(3.00 m/s3)t. (a) Find the initial velocityv0xsuch that the particle will have the same x-coordinate att=4.00 sas it had att=0. (b) What will be the velocity att=4.00 s?

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?

A typical adult human has a mass of about 70Kg. (a) What force does a full moon exert on such a human when directly overhead with its centre378000 km away? (b) Compare this force with the pressure exerted on the human by the earth.

Calculate the earth’s gravity force on a 75-kg astronaut who is repairing the Hubble Space Telescope 600 km above the earth’s surface, and then compare this value with his weight at the earth’s surface. In view of your result, explain why it is said that astronauts are weightless when they orbit the earth in a satellite such as a space shuttle. Is it because the gravitational pull of the earth is negligibly small?
