An elevator is accelerating upward at a rate of 3.6 m/s2. a block of mass 24 kg hangs by a low-mass rope from the ceiling, and a

nother block of mass 90 kg hangs by a low-mass rope from the upper block. (a) what are the tensions in the upper and lower ropes?

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

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

a = αR

Then We apply the Newton's second law of motion:

∑ F = ma

F - mg sinθ - f = ma.

F - mg sinθ - μmg cosθ = ma

Using given data we have:

F - 3217 = 470a ........................... (1)

Apply the Newton's law for rotation:

∑τ = I α

FR - (mg sinθ)R = (\frac{mR^2}{2}+mR^2)\frac{a}{R}

then: F - mg sinθ = 3ma / 2.

F - 2774 = 705a .......................... (2)

solving 1 and 2 we get:

F = 4103 N

a = 1.885 m/s²

b) In this case the time is given by:

t = \sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}} it comes from: d = v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2 starting from rest vo = 0

t = \sqrt{\frac{2*9}{1.885} = 3.09 s

Usually the force of gravity on electrons is neglected. To see why, we can compare the force of the Earth’s gravity on an electr
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

6.4\cdot 10^{-15} N

Explanation:

The electric force exerted on the electron is given by:

F=qE

where

q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the magnitude of the electron charge

E = 40000 V/m is the electric field

Substituting,

F=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C)(40000 V/m)=6.4\cdot 10^{-15} N

By comparison, the gravitational force exerted on the electron is:

F=mg

where

m=9.10939\cdot 10^{-31} kg is the mass of the electron

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

Substituting,

F=(9.10939\cdot 10^{-31} kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=8.93\cdot 10^{-30}N

If a proton emits a photon in a spin-flipping event in a magnetic field, which is true?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

We know that the magnetic moment of electron is in same direction as it's spin so it's spin flip from down to up.

The correct answer is C that is . It flips from spin down to spin up.

A small grinding wheel has a moment of inertia of 4.0*10-5kgm2. What net torque must be applied to the wheel for its angular acc
kvv77 [185]

Hi there!

We can use the rotational equivalent of Newton's Second Law:

\huge\boxed{\Sigma \tau = I \alpha}

Στ = Net Torque (Nm)

I = Moment of inertia (kgm²)

α = Angular acceleration (rad/sec²)

We can plug in the given values to solve.

\Sigma \tau = (4 * 10^{-5})(150) = \boxed{0.006 Nm}
