We know that

• The mass of the elevator is 5000 kg.

Let's draw a free-body diagram.

As you can observe, there are just two forces involved, the weight of the elevator and the tension force. Let's use Newton's Second Law.

$\begin{gathered} \Sigma F_y=ma_y \\ T-W=ma_y \end{gathered}$

But, W = mg = 5000kg*9.8m/s^2 = 49,000 N, and m = 5000 kg, a = 0 (because the speed is constant).

$\begin{gathered} T-49,000N=5000\operatorname{kg}\cdot0 \\ T=49,000N \end{gathered}$ <h2>Therefore, the tension in the cable is 49,000 N.</h2>

When they meet the 40-kg boy would have moved a distance of 6 m.

<h3>Distance moved by the 40 kg boy</h3>

Apply the principle of center mass;

Take the 40 kg mass as the reference point;

X(40 kg) = (40kg x 0 + 60kg x 10 m)/(40 kg + 60 kg)

X(40 kg) = (600)/(100)

X(40 kg) = 6 m

Thus, when they meet the 40-kg boy would have moved a distance of 6 m.

You are given four resistors, 2 ohms, 3 ohms, 5 ohms, and 10 ohms. Your friend say you can connect them so you obtain an equival

AlexFokin [52]

If we will connect the resistors 2ohms, 3ohms, 5ohms in series and the 10ohms resistance parallel then we get equivalent resistance of 5 ohms.

The equivalent circuit is,

R equivalent for the series connection is,

$\begin{gathered} Req(S)=2+3+5=10ohms \\ Now,\text{ } \\ Req\text{ }for\text{ }10\text{ }ohms\text{ }and\text{ }10\text{ }ohms\text{ }is, \\ \frac{1}{Req}=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5} \\ So, \\ Req=5\text{ ohms} \end{gathered}$

The equivalent resistance is 5 ohms.

So your friend is saying true.

While driving down the road, a grasshopper strikes the windshield of a bus and makes a mess in front of the face of the driver.

nlexa [21]

Answer:

The force on the grass hopper is equal and opposite to the force on the wind shield.

Explanation:

It is a known fact every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Here the action force is the grasshopper hitting the windshield.

The reaction force is the force exerted by the windshield on the grasshopper.

If the force of windshield on the grasshopper is more, grasshopper would have been thrown away. If the grasshopper's force on the windshield is greater, the windshield would have broken.

But here these constitute equal and opposite action-reaction pair of forces and so the grasshopper is able to repeatedly strike the windshield.

brilliants [131]

To solve this problem we must basically resort to the kinematic equations of movement. For which speed is defined as the distance traveled in a given time. Mathematically this can be expressed as

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

Where

d = Distance

t = time

For which clearing the time we will have the expression

$t = \frac{d}{v}$

Since we have two 'fluids' in which the sound travels at different speeds we will have that for the rock the time elapsed to feel the explosion will be:

$t = \frac{1300m}{3000m/s}$
