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

Serhud [2]

Answer:

1362000 kgm/s

Explanation:

So the total mass combination of the plane and the people inside it is

M = 35000 + 160*65 = 45400 kg

After 15 seconds at an acceleration of 2 m/s2, the plane speed would be

V = 2*15 = 30 m/s

So the magnitude of the plane 15s after brakes are released is

MV = 45400 * 30 = 1362000 kgm/s

Problem 4: a long wire carries current towards east. a positive charge moves westward and just north from the wire. what is the
Alex787 [66]
The direction of the force experienced by the positive charge is upward.

We can use the right-hand rule to understand the direction of the Lorentz force acting on the charge: let's put the thumb in the same direction of the current in the wire (eastward), while the other fingers "wrap themselves" around the wire. These other fingers give the direction of the Lorentz force in every point of the space around the wire. Since the charge is located north of the wire, in that point the fingers are directed upward, so the positive charge experiences a force directed upward.
(if it was a negative charge, we should have taken the opposite direction)

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Equator

Explanation:

The equator is the line of latitude that separates the earth into the northern and southern hemisphere.Its magnitude is 0 degrees latitude. The equator and other lines of latitude are parallel to each other. The lines of longitude which is 0 degrees is known as the Greenwich meridian. The longitudinal lines however are not parallel as they converge at the poles.
