4200 N  is the tension in the cable that pulls the elevator upwards.

The correct option is A.

<h3>What does tension ?</h3>

Tension is the force that is sent through a rope, thread, or wire whenever two opposing forces pull on it. Along the whole length of the wire, the tensile stress pulls equally on all objects at the ends. Every physical object that comes into contact with that other one exerts force on it.

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

We employ the following formula to determine the cable's tension.

Formula:

T = mg+ma............ Equation 1

Where:

T is the cable's tension.

M = Mass of the elevator and the Joey

Accelerating with a

g = Gravitational acceleration

Considering the query,

Given:

m = (300+60) = 360 kg

a = 2 m/s²

g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

T = (360×9.8)+(360×2)

T = 3528+720

T = 4248 N

T ≈ 4200 to the nearest hundred.

If a town was 90 miles away and you travel at 45 mph how long would it take to get there
notka56 [123]

Answer:

t = 2 hours

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance of the town, d = 90 miles

Speed, v = 45 mph

We need to find the time to get there. The speed of an object is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

Where

t is time

t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{90}{45}\\\\t=2\ h

So, the required time is 2 hours.

A student asks the question: "How does an object's mass affect its motion?"
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The options are not given, so i will answer in a really general case.

There are two equations that describe how mass affects the motion of an object.

The most generical one, Newton's second equation of motion.

This says that:

F = m*a

Force equals mass times acceleration.

Remember that acceleration tells us how the motion of an object changes as time passes.

So if we isolate the acceleration we get:

a = F/m

Here you can see that the mass is in the denominator, so, for a fixed force F, if we increase the mass of the object, the acceleration will decrease, which means that as more mass has an object, "harder" is to accelerate it.

Now from an energy point of view.

The kinetic energy (the motion energy of a moving object) is written as:

T = (1/2)*m*(v^2)

where:

m = mass

v = velocity.

Here, for a fixed velocity v, if we increase the mass, we also increase the kinetic energy.

This means that if we have two objects, one with a small mass m, and the other with a larger mass M, and we want to give both objects the same velocity v, we will need more energy for the object with more mass.

So in general we can conclude that mass "opposes" to the motion.

Now, we also can define the term "testable"

A hypothesis is testable if we can think of an experiment to test it, if there is no experiment, then the hypothesis is not testable.

A small Styrofoam bead with a charge of −60.0 nC is at the center of an insulating plastic spherical shell with an inner radius
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

speed of the proton is 6.286 ×10^{5} m/s

Explanation:

given data

charge  q= −60.0 nC

inner radius a = 20.0 cm

outer radius b = 24.0 cm

charge density ρ = −2.05 µC/m³

to find out

What is the speed of the proton

solution

we know that force on the proton due to this electric field is express as

F = q × E      ...................1

here F is force and q is charge and E is electric filed so

if v be the speed of the proton in circular orbit than  force will be

F = \frac{mv^2}{b}       ....................2

from equation 1 and 2

q × E = \frac{mv^2}{b}     .......................3

so

here total charge Q on shell is

Q = ρ × V

here ρ is density and V is volume

Q = \rho * \frac{4}{3} \pi  (b^3-a^3)

put here value

Q = -2.05*10^{-6} \frac{4}{3} \pi  (0.24^3-0.20^3)

Q = 50.01 × 10^{-9} C

and

total charge enclosed by Gaussian surface is

qin = q + Q

qin = −60  × 10^{-9} C - 50.01 × 10^{-9} C

qin = - 110.01 × 10^{-9} C

and

from Gauss law

\oint E*A = \frac{\left | qin \right | }{\epsilon }

E ×4×π×b² =  \frac{110.01*10^{-9} }{\epsilon }

E = \frac{110.01*10^{-9} }{\epsilon *4 *\pi *b^2[tex]}

E = \frac{9*10^9 * 110.01*10^{-9} }{0.24^2}

E = 17189.06 N/C

so

from equation 3

q × E = \frac{mv^2}{b}  

v = \sqrt{\frac{q*E*b}{m}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{1.6*10^{-19}*17189.06*0.24}{1.67*10^{-27}}}

v = 6.286 ×10^{5} m/s

so speed of the proton is 6.286 ×10^{5} m/s
