The tension in the cable that pulls the elevator upwards with an acceleration of 2.0 m/s² is 4200 N. The right option is A) 4200 N.

<h3 /><h3>What is tension?</h3>

Tension is defined as the force transmitted through a rope, string or wire when pulled by forces acting from opposite sides.

To calculate the tension in the cable, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • T = mg+ma............ Equation 1

Where:

  • T = Tension in the cable
  • m = Mass of the Joey and the elevator
  • a = Acceleration
  • g = Acceleration due to gravity

From the question,

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.

Hence,  the tension in the rope is 4200 N, the right option is A) 4200 N.

Assume that a clay model of a lion has a mass of 0.225 kg and travels on the ice at a speed of 0.85 m/s. It hits another clay mo
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Final velocity will be equal to 0.321 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of clay model of lion m_1=0.225kg

Its speed is 0.85 m/sec, so v_1=0.85m/sec

Mass of another clay model m_2=0.37kg

It is given that second clay is motionless

So its velocity v_2=0m/sec

Now according to conservation of momentum

Momentum before collision will be equal to momentum after collision

So m_1v_!+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v, here v is velocity after collision

So 0.225\times 0.85+0.37\times 0+(0.225+0.37)v

0.595v=0.191

v = 0.321 m/sec

So final velocity will be equal to 0.321 m/sec

Two metal bars experience an equal change in volume due to an equal change in temperature. The first bar has a coefficient of ex
maksim [4K]

Answer:

The original volume of the first bar is half of the original volume of the second bar.

Explanation:

The coefficient of cubic expansivity of substances is given by;

γ = ΔV ÷ (V_{1}Δθ)

Given: two metal bars with equal change in volume, equal change in temperature.

Let the volume of the first metal bar be represented by V_{1}, and that of the second by V_{2}.

Since they have equal change in volume,

ΔV_{1}  = ΔV_{2} = ΔV

For the first metal bar,

2γ = ΔV ÷ (V_{1}Δθ)

⇒    Δθ =  ΔV ÷ (2γV_{1})

For the second metal bar,

γ = ΔV ÷ (V_{2}Δθ)

⇒  Δθ = ΔV ÷ (V_{2}γ)

Since they have equal change in temperature,

Δθ of first bar = Δθ of the second bar

ΔV ÷ (2γV_{1})     =   ΔV ÷ (V_{2}γ)

So that;

(1 ÷ 2V_{1}) = (1 ÷ V_{2})

2V_{1} =  V_{2}

V_{1} = \frac{V_{2} }{2}

Thus, original volume of the first bar is half of the original volume of the second bar.
