Answer:
157.8 J
Explanation:
m = mass of the cylinder = 7 kg
h = height difference in top and bottom of the incline = 2.3 m
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
TE = Total Energy at the bottom
PE = Gravitational potential energy at the top
Using conservation of energy
Total Energy at the bottom = Gravitational potential energy at the top
TE = PE
TE = m g h
TE = (7) (9.8) (2.3)
TE = 157.8 J
Answer:
Energy conservation.
Explanation:
The 1st Law of Thermodynamics is a statement about energy conservation. It states that 
, which means that if we <u>substract the work W done</u> by the system to the <u>heat Q given</u> to the system we get the <u>change in the internal energy</u> 
, so any excess in energy given to the system appears as internal energy, stating that energy is conserved.
Mass and distance are the two factors
Answer:
160.75 N
Explanation:
The downward velocity has no effect on the force situation, it is only changes in velocity (plus, of course, gravity, which is always there) that require a force. At constant velocity, the bottom spring s_3 is supporting its mass m_3 to balance gravity.
As the elevator slows, though, it also ends up slowing down the spring arrangement, too. However, because the stretching takes time, it means that some damped harmonic motion will be set up in the spring chain.
When the motion has finally damped out, the net force the bottom spring s3 exerts on m3 has two components--that of gravity and of the deceleration of the elevator:
F_3net = m3 * (g + a) = 10.5×(9.81+5.5)= 10.5×15.31= 160.75 N
