The awe-inspiring Great Pyramid of Cheops was built more than 4500 years ago. Its square base, originally 230 m on a side, covered 13.1 acres, and it was 146 m high, with a mass of about

- Chapter 5, Section 5.8, Question 32 Determine the length of a rectangular trench you can dig with the energy gained from eating one Milky Way bar (270 cal). Assume that you convert the energy gained from the food with 5% efficiency and that the trench is 7 meters wide and 1 meter deep. Use the fact that the density of soil is 1000 kg/m³ and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s². Round your answer to two decimal places. The length of the trench is the tolerance is +/- 2% Click if you would like to Show Work for this question: Open Show Work LINK TO TEXT meters.arrow_forwardNote: when it says "Your answer is equal to 10 to what power?", we want the value of P where answer = 10 P. Convert the following quantities as requested (no computation required): (a) 10 cg = ___g (grams); Your answer is equal to 10 to what power? (b) 0.1 ms = ___s (seconds); Your answer is equal to 10 to what power?arrow_forward. Use the definition of scalar product, a two vectors given by a = 5.0 + 5.0 b = ab cos 0, and the fact that a b = axbx + aby + a2b₂ to calculate the angle between the + 5.0k and b = 7.01 +3.0 + 3.0k.arrow_forward
- At a construction site, there is a pile of sand in the shape of a cone. The cone has a height of 5 m and a base radius of 8 m. Suppose that the density of the sand is 1400 kg/m3. In order to assemble this pile, energy must be expended to lift each bit of sand (working against gravity) to its final height in the pile. It is known that the energy, E required to lift a mass m (in kg) to a height h (in m) is given by E = mgh (where g can be taken to be 10 m/s2). How much energy is required in total to assemble the pile?arrow_forwardIn one of the videos I said that a typical American household uses energy at a rate of about 10,000 joules per second. A shorthand unit for this would be "10 kilowatts". Using energy at this rate costs about $1.50 per hour (this is not quite right, as it assumes that all the energy is electrical energy, which is relatively cheap, but let's go with this for an estimate). How much does this energy usage cost for a year?arrow_forwardWhat is the dot product A•B if A = 2x - 3y and B = 15x + 10y?arrow_forward
- A spring needs a force of 2 N to compress it 18 cm. How much work is required to stretch the spring 54 cm? ROUND OFF ANSWER UP TO 2 DECIMAL PLACES. INPUT BOTH THE NUMBER AND THE UNIT (ABBREVIATION OF UNIT ONLY).arrow_forwardA tank in the shape of a hemispherical bowl of radius 4 m is completely filled with water. How much work is required to pump all the water to a height 5 m above the tank? (The density of water is 1000 kg/m3 .Assume g = 9.8 m/s2) Answer in exact form and decimal.arrow_forwardAccording to the figures for a mass = 1kg and the constant of spring in fig. (c) is 2000 N/m, in (c) the spring is compressed at its maximum length X=2cm, which one about Mechanical Energy (ME) is correct? (Hint: Units should be in SI). Xmax=2 cm (c) h-10 m y=0 V = 5 m/s (b) h=10 m y=0 (a) V = 5 m/sarrow_forward
- A mass of 76g is placed on the end of a 3cm vertical spring. This causes the spring to extend to 9.9cm. If we then change the mass to 271g, what is the measured length of the spring (in m)?arrow_forwardSuppose that 4 J of work is needed to stretch a spring from its natural length of 36 cm to a length of 46 cm. (a) How much work (in J) is needed to stretch the spring from 40 cm to 44 cm? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 1.28 X J (b) How far beyond its natural length (in cm) will a force of 25 N keep the spring stretched? (Round your answer one decimal place.) 1000 x cmarrow_forwardThe gravitational force (in lb) of attraction between two objects is given by F=k/x2 , where x is the distance between the objects. If the objects are 55 ft apart, find the work required to separate them until they are 5050 ft apart. Express the result in terms of k.arrow_forward
