The water cycle is the process when water circulates from the oceans on the Earth, the atmosphere, land, this also involves rainfall and snow, sewers in rivers and streams, and then it returns to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration. Humans impact the water cycle by irrigation, urbanization, deforestation, and storing water in reservoirs.

You are designing a simple elevator system for an old warehouse that is being converted to loft apartments. A 22,500-N elevator
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

A) mass = 3121.58 kg

B) tension = 25940.37 N

C) tension = 25940.37 N (tension on both sides will be the same)

Explanation:

Weight of elevator = 22500 N

Distance = 6.75 m

Time = 3 sec

Since it started from rest, initial speed is zero.

Using Newton's equation of motion we have,

S = ut + 0.5at^2

S = distance covered = 6.75 m

t = time = 3 s

a = acceleration upwards

u = initial velocity = 0

Substituting values, we have,

6.75 = 0(3) + (0.5 x a x 3^2)

6.75 = 4.5a

a = 6.75/4.5 = 1.5 m/s^2 (acceleration of the elevator upwards)

Mass of the elevator = Weight/g

Where g = acceleration due to gravity 9.81 m/s

Mass = 22500/9.81 = 2293.58 kg

From the image below we solve from

T - 22500 = ma

T - 22500 = 2293.58 x 1.5

T - 22500 = 3440.37

T = 3440.37 + 22500 = 25940.37 N (this is the tension on the rope)

On the other side,

mg - T = ma

9.81m - 25940.37 = 1.5m

(9.81 - 1.5)m = 25940.37

8.31m = 25940.37

m = 3121.58 kg (mass of counter weight)

Miles is camping in Glacier National Park. In the midst of a glacier canyon,
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

t=1.623 sec

Explanation:

The distance traveled before the echo is had is:

distance=2d, d=280\ m\\\\=280\times 2\\\\=560 \ m

Given the speed of sound as v=345m/s, we use the speed equation to solve for t:

v=\frac{d}{t}\\\\345\ m/s=\frac{560m}{t}\\\\t=\frac{560}{360}\\\\=1.623 \ s

Hence, it takes 1.623 seconds to hear the echo.
