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.

Think of a scenario where an authoritarian leadership style would be beneficial. Explain. What are the reasons it would work wel
icang [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A scenario in which an authoritarian leadership would be beneficial is in law enforcement in emergency cases (that has to do with public safety or national security) without the bureaucratic bottlenecks of the legislature and judiciary. For example, the recent coronavirus pandemic, authoritarian leaderships would find it easier to enforce the laws on wearing of masks and also prevent producers of personal protective equipment (PPE) from unreasonably inflating prices of there PPEs.

As explained above, it would work well because there will be no legislative bottleneck that will start a hearing at the expense of public safety neither will there be a court that will stall the process at the same expense.

The risks here is that businesses (in this case that of producing PPEs) may find it difficult to survive since the "tone" of the pricing of PPEs will now be determined by government. It may even hinder healthy business competition. It may also lead to production of substandard PPEs in order to generate enough profit (since the main aim of any business is to generate profit).

When a man travel from hilly to terai what will happen to weight and why?
juin [17]

Answer:

When a man travels from Hilly region to Terai region, his weight gradually increases because the value of g is more at the Terai region than that in hilly region. 3. An object weights 20 N in air and 16 N in liquid, then answer the following questions.

Explanation:

because the value of g is more at the Terai region than that in hilly region. 3. An object weights 20 N in air and 16 N in liquid, then answer the following questions.

Based on your observations of the six collisions, describe the physical difference between elastic and inelastic collisions.
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Collisions are basically two types: Elastic, and inelastic collision. Elastic collision is defined as the colliding objects return quickly without undergoing any heat generation. Inelastic collision is defined as the where heat is generated, and colliding objects are distorted.

In elastic collision, the total kinetic energy, momentum are conserved, and there is no wasting of energy occurs. Swinging balls is the good example of elastic collision. In inelastic collision, the energy is not conserved it changes from one form to another for example thermal energy or sound energy. Automobile collision is good example, of inelastic collision.

When an apple falls towards the earth,the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is this true?If yes, why is the earth's motion not n
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

because the mass of the apple is very less compared to the mass of earth. Due to less mass the apple cannot produce noticable acceleration in the earth but the earth which has more mass produces noticable acceleration in the apple. thus we can see apple falling on towards the earth but we cannot see earth moving towards the apple.
