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 1.10105J.
  2. The work done is 1.30105J.
  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鈥︹︹︹︹..(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=1.10105J

Therefore, the required work done is 1.10105J.

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鈥︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌..(2)

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

role="math" localid="1663757519892" W=12800kg18m2=129600J=1.30105J

Therefore, the required work done is 1.30105J.

05

Determine the power output of the pump(c)

The power can be calculated as follows.

P=Wtotalt=KE+Wt鈥︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌..(3)

Substituterole="math" localid="1663757706553" 1.10105J for W,1.3105J for KE, and 1min for t in equation (3), we get,

P=1.10105J+1.30105J1min60s1min=4000W1kW1000W=4.0kW

Therefore, the required power is 4.0 kW.

For a spherical planet with mass M, volume V, and radius R,derive an expression for the acceleration due to gravity at the planet鈥檚 surface, g, in terms of the average density of the planet, =M/V, and the planet鈥檚 diameter, D=2R. The table gives the values of Dand gfor the eight major planets:

(a) Treat the planets as spheres. Your equation for as a function of and shows that if the average density of the planets is constant, a graph of versus will be well represented by a straight line. Graph as a function of for the eight major planets. What does the graph tell you about the variation in average density? (b) Calculate the average density for each major planet. List the planets in order of decreasing density, and give the calculated average density of each. (c) The earth is not a uniform sphere and has greater density near its center. It is reasonable to assume this might be true for the other planets. Discuss the effect this nonuniformity has on your analysis. (d) If Saturn had the same average density as the earth, what would be the value of at Saturn鈥檚 surface?

A certain fuel-efficient hybrid car gets gasoline mileage of 55.0 mpg (miles per gallon). (a) If you are driving this car in Europe and want to compare its mileage with that of other European cars, express this mileage in km/L (1L = liter). Use the conversion factors in Appendix E. (b) If this car鈥檚 gas tank holds 45 L, how many tanks of gas will you use to drive 1500 km?

The 鈥渄irection of time鈥 is said to proceed from past to future. Does this mean that time is a vector quantity? Explain.

Neutron stars, such as the one at the center of the Crab Nebula, have about the same mass as our sun but have a much smaller diameter. If you weigh 675Non the earth, what would you weigh at the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as our sun and a diameter of 20km?

You take an empty glass jar and push it into a tank of water with the open mouth of the jar downward, so that the air inside the jar is trapped and cannot get out. If you push the jar deeper into the water, does the buoyant force on the jar stay the same? If not, does it increase or decrease? Explain.
