The speed  V_{i} of the elevator at the beginning of the 8 m descent is nearly 4 m/s. Hence, option A is the correct answer.

We are given that-

the mass of the elevator (m) = 1000 kg ;

the distance the elevator decelerated to be y = 8m ;

the tension is T = 11000 N;

let us determine the acceleration 'a' by using Newton's second law of motion.

∑Fy = ma

W - T = ma

(1000kg x 9.8 m/s² ) - 11000N = 1000 kg x a

9800 - 11000 = 1000

a = - 1.2 m/s²

Using the equation of kinematics to determine the initial velocity.

V_{f} ² = V_{i}² + 2ay

V_{i} = √ ( 2 x 1.2m/s² x 8 m )

V_{i} = √19.2 m²/s²

V_{i} = 4.38 m/s   ≈ 4 m/s

Hence, the initial velocity of the elevator is 4m/s.

Answer:

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. ... increases, the force of gravity decreases. If the distance is doubled, the force of gravity is one-fourth as strong as before.

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The speed of the 1 kg red ball 8.04 m/s .

Explanation:

Given :

Separation between rods , d = 1.5 m .

Mass of the red ball is 1 kg .

Mass of the orange ball is 5.7 kg .

Angular velocity , \omega=1\ rev/s = 2\pi\ rad/s .

Now , distance of center of mass  from red ball is :

r =\dfrac{0\times 1+1.5\times 5.7}{1+5.7}\\\\r = 1.28\ m

We know , speed is given by :

v=\omega r\\\\v=2 \times \pi \times  1.28\\\\v=8.04\ m/s

Hence , this is the required solution .
