The cable of the 1800kg elevator cab in Fig. 8−56 snaps when the cab is at rest at the first floor, where the cab bottom is a di

stance d=3.7m above a spring of spring constant k=0.15MN/m. A safety device clamps the cab against guide rails so that a constant frictional force of 4.4kN opposes the cabs motion. (a) Find the speed of the cab just before it hits the spring. (b) Find the maximum distance x that the spring is compressed (the frictional force still acts during this compression). (c) Find the distance that the cab will bounce back up the shaft. (d) Using conservation of energy, find the approximate total distance that the cab will move before coming to rest. (Assume that the frictional force on the cab is negligible when the cab is stationary.)

a ) The speed of the cab just before it hits the spring = 7.4 m / s

b ) The maximum distance x that the spring is compressed = 0.9 m

c ) The distance that the cab will bounce back up the shaft = 2.8 m

a ) The speed of the cab just before it hits the spring,

Ki + Pi = K final + P final + W

1 / 2 m vo² + m g hi = 1 / 2 m v² + m g h + f d

0 + ( 1800 * 9.8 * 3.7 m ) = ( 1 / 2 * 1800 * v² ) + 0 + ( 4400 * 3.7 )

v = 7.4 m / s

b ) The maximum distance x that the spring is compressed,

Ki + Pi = K final + P final + W + Fs

1 / 2 m vo² + m g x = 1 / 2 m v² + m g h + f d + 1 /2 k x²

( 1/2 * 1800 * 7.4² ) + ( 1800 * 9.8 * x ) =0 + 0+ ( 4400 * x ) + ( 1/2 * 1800 * x² )

75000 x² + 13420 x - 50625 = 0

x = 0.9 m

c ) The distance that the cab will bounce back up the shaft,

Ki + Pi + Fs = K final + P final + W

1 / 2 m vo² + m g x + 1 /2 k x² = 1 / 2 m v² + m g h + f d

0 + 0 + ( 1 / 2 * 0.15 * 0.9² ) = 0 + ( 1800 * 9.8 * h ) + ( 4400 * h )

h = 2.8 m

Therefore,

a ) The speed of the cab just before it hits the spring = 7.4 m / s

b ) The maximum distance x that the spring is compressed = 0.9 m

c ) The distance that the cab will bounce back up the shaft = 2.8 m

The intensity of a 70-dB whistle is quintupled. What is the new decibel level
hoa [83]

Multiplying the power of any signal by 5 can be described as
an increase of  6.99 dB .

If the whistle blew at 70 dB initially, and its sound power became
multiplied by 5, and the whistle and the listener both stayed in
the same places, then the listener would tell you that the whistle
was now blowing at 76.99 dB .

(More likely, he would report "77 dB" as he held his ears and winced.)

The whooping crane (Grus americana) is the tallest bird native to North America. It almost went extinct in the 1900s; in 1938, t
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The value  is   a =  2.7183

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  relationship between the number of whooping cranes and the number of decades is ln N =  2.85 + 0.039t

  The  exponential relationship is  N  =  na^{kt}

Now from the given equation we have that

       N  =   e^{2.85 + 0.039t}

       N  =  17.29 e^{0.039t}

So comparing this equation obtained an the given  exponential relationship we have that

      n = 17.29

       k  =  0.039

        a =  e =  2.7183

        a =  2.7183

Suppose a firm is producing 2,475 units of output by hiring 50 workers (W = $20 per hour) and 25 units of capital (R = $10 per h
Neko [114]

Answer

given,

firm is producing  = 2,475 units

output by hiring 50 workers W = $20 per hour

25 units of capital R = $10 per hour

marginal product of labor = 40

marginal product of capital = 25

\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c}=\dfrac{40}{25}

\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c}=\dfrac{8}{5}

\dfrac{W}{R}=\dfrac{20}{10}

\dfrac{W}{R}=2

\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c} < \dfrac{W}{R}

Firm is not minimizing the cost because the firm use more capital and less labor.

The USDA recommends that women consume about 2000 Calories per day and men consume about 2500 Calories per day. How much average
professor190 [17]

Answer:

   1500 W to 2200 W

Explanation:

Every person does work in his daily day to day life. A person needs energy in order to perform work. And the energy consumed by an individual while performing a daily work is directly responsible to the mount of oxygen consumed by the person.

The USDA is the federal agency which looks after the food and agriculture matters of the US government. It deals with and formulates different policies and laws for the country and it s people. It recommends about 2000 calories per day for women and for men it recommends about 2500 calorie per days of food intake.

Accordingly, the average power required by a human body for doing regular work is in the range of 1500 W to 2200 W.

If the ball that is thrown downward has an acceleration of magnitude aaa at the instant of its release (i.e., when there is no l
kakasveta [241]

Explanation:

At the instant of release there is no force but an acceleration of a, this means the ball is falling freely under the force of gravity. Then the acceleration would be due to force of gravity and acceleration a = g =9.81 m/s^2.

g= acceleration due to gravity
