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.

Heating gas to create plasma can yield?
leva [86]
When a gas is heated to become a plasma, the atoms (or the molecules) of the gas become ionised. In the ionisation, the atoms loose electrons from the exterior energy levels and thus heating to achieve a plasma will create free electrons and ionized atoms (or ionized molecules).

A plasma can not contain neutrons, because neutrons together with protons make the nuclei of the atoms. To free the neutrons from the atomn nuclei there would be necessary HUGE temperatures.

Also a plasma does not contain neutral elements (atoms) or (neutral) molecules, but Ionized atoms and/or molecules and free electrons.

Thus the good answer is d)

A straight 1.20 m long conductor has a 2.00 A current travelling toward the East. Earth's magnetic field in this location is 4.9
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Force's magnitude=1.176\,10^{-4}\,N

Direction: down (towards the center of the Earth)

Explanation:

Recall that the magnetic force on a conductor of length L carrying a current I in a magnetic field B is given by the equation: F=I\,L\,B in the case the magnetic field B and the direction of the current are at 90 degrees from each other (which is our case). The direction of the force will be given by the "right hand rule" associated with the vector product that defines this force.

Since the current is moving East, and the magnetic field of the Earth goes from North to South, the resultant Force vector will be pointing towards the Earth (and perpendicular to the plane defined by the current's direction and the magnetic field B)

The magnitude of the force, is given by the formula above, and given that all quantities to be considered are is SI units, it will result in Newtons (N):

F=I\,L\,B\\F=2\,*\,1.2\,*\,4.9\,10^{-5}\,N\\F=1.176\,10^{-4}\,N

Which TWO statements describe events that help drive tectonic plate movement?
olga2289 [7]

Explanation:

Tremendous heat and pressure within the earth cause the hot magma to flow in convection currents. These currents cause the movement of the tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust.
