The tension in the supporting cable when the cab originally moves downward is 18422.4 N

What is tension?

Tension is described as the pulling force by the means of a three-dimensional object.

Tension might also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of said elements.

Here,

m =combined mass = 1600 kg

s = Displacement of the elevator = 42 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

u = Initial velocity = 12 m/s

v = Final velocity = 0

According to the equation of motion:

v^{2} - u^{2} = 2as

0 - 12^2 = 2*a*42

a = - 144 / 84

a = - 1.714 m/s^2

Now let's write the equation of the forces acting on the elevator. Taking upward as positive direction:

T-mg = ma

T = m(g-a)

T = 1600 ( 9.8-(-1.74))

T=18422.4 N

Hence,

The tension in the supporting cable when the cab, originally moving downward is 18422.4 N

What is the melting point of substance A?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Solids are easily recognized by their ability to retain a fixed shape and definite volume. Particles making

up a solid are held together in a rigid form. They are not free to move about or slide past one another and

the solid does not have the ability to flow. (Although the particles of a solid do not move position to position, they do have motion in that they are constantly vibrating.

To change the temperature of a solid, heat energy must be added. The amount of heat energy that changes

the temperature of 1.0 g of a solid by 1.0°C is called its specific heat (c). Each substance has its own

specific heat. The specific heat of ice is 2.1 Joules/g°C. In other words we must supply 1.0 gram of ice

with 2.1 Joules of heat energy to raise its temperature by 1.0 °C.

The general equation for calculating heat energy to change the temperature of a solid is:

Heat = Mass x Specific Heat (solid) x Temperature Change

Q = m c DT

10 g 10 g 10 g 10 g 10 g 10 g

Calculate the heat necessary to change 10 g of ice(s) at -20 °C to 10 g of ice(s) at 0°C. (A-B)

Q = mc∆T = (10 g) (2.1 J/g°C) (20°C) = 420 J

If you continue to add heat energy once the temperature of the ice reaches 0°C , the heat absorbed is called

the heat of fusion (Lf). This heat is used to cause a change of phase (from a solid to a liquid). This heat is

increasing the potential energy of the molecules of the solid. No temperature change takes place. Each

substance has its own heat of fusion. The heat of fusion for ice is 340 Joules/g. Exactly the same amount

of heat is given up when 1.0 g of water is changed to ice. This heat is called the heat of crystallization.

The general equation for calculating heat energy to change a solid to a liquid is:

Heat = Mass x Heat of Fusion

Q = m Lf

Calculate the heat necessary to change 10 g of ice(s) at 0°C to 10 g of water(l) at 0°C.(B-C)

Explanation:

Q = mLf = (10 g)( 340 J/g) = 3400 J

A cyclist rides 6.2 km east, then 9.28 km in a direction 27.27 degrees west of north, then 7.99 km west. A. What is the magnitud
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Explanation:

given,

cyclist ride  6.2 km east and then 9.28 km in the direction of 27.27° west of north and then 7.99 km west.

vertical component = 9.28 cos∅

                                = 9.28 cos 27.27°

                                = 8.24 km

horizontal axis component = 9.28 sin ∅

                                             = 9.28 sin 27.27°

                                             = 4.5 km

distance of the final point from the origin

                            = 7.99 -(6.2-4.5)

                            = 6.29 km

displacement

d = \sqrt{6.29^2+8.24^2}

d = 10.37 km

b) tan \theta = \dfrac{6.29}{8.24}

θ = 37.36°

Why do we see the color black?
Inessa [10]
We see black colour in absence of light. Black colour absoorbs all the light, ( just opposite of white) and hence we do not see any colour. Black colour is also related to darkness.
