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

Use the information from the graph to answer the question.
galina1969 [7]

The displacement of the object as determined from the velocity-time graph is 562.5 m.

<h3>What is a velocity-time graph?</h3>

A velocity-time graph is a graph of the velocity of an object plotted in the vertical or y-axis of the graph against the time taken on the horizontal or x-axis.

The displacement of an object can be obtained from its velocity-time graph by calculating the total area under the graph.

The total area under the graph = area of triangle + area of rectangle

Area of triangle = b*h/2 =

Area of triangle = 25 * (35 - 10)/2 = 312.5 m

Area of rectangle = l * b

Area of rectangle = 10 * 25 = 250 m

Total area = (312.5 + 250) m

Total area = 562.5 m

Therefore, the displacement of the object is 562.5 m

In conclusion, the total area of a velocity-time graph gives the displacement.

Answer plz also give reason
user100 [1]

See this suggested solution.

1. Let a force F' is the vector sum of the forces P and Q, then it is shown on the attached picture and marked with red color.

2. according to the condition the force F holds the object, then F should have the same length as the force F' and the opposite direction.

3. using the conditions described in 2. the answer is C.

A gamma ray photon has an energy of 0.91 GeV. (1 GeV = 109 eV.) What is the wavelength of the gamma ray in fm? (1 fm = 10-15 m)?
anastassius [24]

Answer:

\lambda=1.37 fm

Explanation:

The Planck Eistein relation, states that the energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency:

E=h\nu(1)

h is the Plank constant.The frequency of a photon is defined as the speed of light over its wavelength:

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}(2)

Replacing (2) in (1):

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}\\\lambda=\frac{(4.14*10^{-15}eV\cdot s)(3*10^8\frac{m}{s})}{0.91*10^{9}eV}\\\\\lambda=(1.37*10^{-15}m)*\frac{1fm}{10^{-15}m}\\\\\lambda=1.37 fm
