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.

Consider the motion of a 4.00-kg particle that moves with potential energy given by U(x) = + a) Suppose the particle is moving w

Correct question:

Consider the motion of a 4.00-kg particle that moves with potential energy given by

$U(x) = \frac{(2.0 Jm)}{x}+ \frac{(4.0 Jm^2)}{x^2}$

a) Suppose the particle is moving with a speed of 3.00 m/s when it is located at x = 1.00 m. What is the speed of the object when it is located at x = 5.00 m?

b) What is the magnitude of the force on the 4.00-kg particle when it is located at x = 5.00 m?

Answer:

a) 3.33 m/s

b) 0.016 N

Explanation:

a) given:

V = 3.00 m/s

x1 = 1.00 m

x = 5.00

$u(x) = \frac{-2}{x} + \frac{4}{x^2}$

At x = 1.00 m

$u(1) = \frac{-2}{1} + \frac{4}{1^2}$

= 4J

Kinetic energy = (1/2)mv²

$= \frac{1}{2} * 4(3)^2$

= 18J

Total energy will be =

4J + 18J = 22J

At x = 5

$u(5) = \frac{-2}{5} + \frac{4}{5^2}$

$= \frac{4-10}{25} = \frac{-6}{25} J$

= -0.24J

Kinetic energy =

$\frac{1}{2} * 4Vf^2$

= 2Vf²

Total energy =

2Vf² - 0.024

Using conservation of energy,

Initial total energy = final total energy

22 = 2Vf² - 0.24

Vf² = (22+0.24) / 2

$Vf = \sqrt{frac{22.4}{2}$

= 3.33 m/s

b) magnitude of force when x = 5.0m

$u(x) = \frac{-2}{x} + \frac{4}{x^2}$

$\frac{-du(x)}{dx} = \frac{-d}{dx} [\frac{-2}{x}+ \frac{4}{x^2}$

$= \frac{2}{x^2} - \frac{8}{x^3}$

At x = 5.0 m

$\frac{2}{5^2} - \frac{8}{5^3}$

$F = \frac{2}{25} - \frac{8}{125}$

= 0.016N

The planet Uranus has a radius of 25,360 km and a surface acceleration due to gravity of 9.0 m/s^2 at its poles. Its moon Mirand

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

$8.67791\times 10^{25}\ kg$

$0.34589\ m/s^2$

$0.07903\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

M = Mass of Uranus

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Uranus = 25360 km

h = Altitude = 104000 km

$r_m$ = Radius of Miranda = 236 km

m = Mass of Miranda = $6.6\times 10^{19}\ kg$

Acceleration due to gravity is given by

$g=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{gr^2}{G}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{9\times 25360000^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}}\\\Rightarrow M=8.67791\times 10^{25}\ kg$

The mass of Uranus is $8.67791\times 10^{25}\ kg$

Acceleration is given by

$a_m=\dfrac{GM}{(r+h)^2}\\\Rightarrow a_m=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 8.67791\times 10^{25}}{(25360000+104000000)^2}\\\Rightarrow a_m=0.34589\ m/s^2$

Miranda's acceleration due to its orbital motion about Uranus is $0.34589\ m/s^2$

On Miranda

$g_m=\dfrac{Gm}{r_m^2}\\\Rightarrow g_m=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 6.6\times 10^{19}}{236000^2}\\\Rightarrow g_m=0.07903\ m/s^2$

Acceleration due to Miranda's gravity at the surface of Miranda is $0.07903\ m/s^2$

No, both the objects will fall towards Uranus. Also, they are not stationary.
