The answer:

<span>When the elevator accelerates upward at a rate of 3.6 m/s², the value of the acceleration becomes

</span>A=g+3.6=13.4 m/s²
and by using the newton's law, F=mass x A, we have 
T1= (24 + 90 )x 13.4= 1527.6 N, where T1 is the <span>Tension in upper rope
</span> and 
T2= ( 90 )x 13.4= 1206N, where T2 is the Tension in lower rope

When the elevator accelerates downward at a rate of 3.6 m/s², the value of the acceleration becomes
A=9.8 - 3.6 = 6.2 m/s²

T1= (24 + 90 )x 6.2= 706.8 N, where T1 is the Tension in upper rope
 and 
T2= ( 90 )x 6.2= 558N, where T2 is the Tension in lower rope

How many valence electrons are in alkali metals
tatuchka [14]
If you look on the periodic table you will see the top group elements depending on how the elements relate to each in the column. All of the elements in that column show they all have 1 electron in their valence shell. Some of the chemicals in that family or group are Sodium, Lithium, Potassium. The are very reactive because they only have one electron and what 7 more to become stable.

During the first 6 years of its operation, the Hubble Space Telescope circled the Earth 37,000 times, for a total of 1,280,000,0
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Kilometers\ in\ 1\ Orbit=\frac{1.28*10^9 Km}{3.7*10^4orbits}

Kilometers\ in\ 1\ Orbit=3.46*10^4 Km/Orbit

Explanation:

Given Data:

Numbers of times Telescope cycled around the earth in 6 years=37,000 times

Total Distance traveled in 6 years by the Hubble Space Telescope=1,280,000,000 Km

Find:

Kilometers in one Orbit=?

Solution:

Kilometers in 37,000 Orbits=1,280,000,000 Km

Kilometers in 1 Orbit=1,280,000,000/37,000

In Scientific Notation:

Kilometers\ in\ 3.7*10^4\ Orbits=1.28*10^9 Km

Kilometers\ in\ 1\ Orbit=\frac{1.28*10^9 Km}{3.7*10^4 orbits}

Kilometers in 1 Orbit=34594.594 Km

Kilometers in 1 Orbit in Scientific notation:

Kilometers\ in\ 1\ Orbit=3.46*10^4 Km

The 1.5kg ball is launched straight upward with an initial velocity of 7m/s. What is the maximum height it will reach?​
Temka [501]

Answer:

h = 2.5 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a ball, m = 1.5 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = 7 m/s

We need to find the maximum height reached by the ball. Let it is be h. Using the conservation of energy to find it such that,

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2\\\\h=\dfrac{u^2}{2g}

Put all the values,

h=\dfrac{7^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\=2.5\ m

So, it will reach to a height of 2.5 m.

Watt-hours is a measure of energy, just like kilowatt-hours. How can you convert this to Joules?
satela [25.4K]

Work with your units:

1 watt-hour = 1 (joule/second) · (hour) = 1 (joule-hour / second)

(1 joule-hour/sec) · (3600 sec/hour) = 3600 joules

So 1 watt-hour = 3,600 joules
