An object is hanging by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. The elevator is moving upward with a constant speed. What is t

he magnitude of the tension in the string?
Physics

Answer:

Equal to the weight of the object

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the object hanging on the string:

- The tension in the string, T, acting upward

- The weight of the object, mg, acting downward

We can write Newton's second law as:

T-mg=ma

where a is the acceleration of the object.

Here we are told that the elevator is moving at constant speed: this means that the acceleration of the object is zero, therefore a = 0 and the equation becomes

T=mg

therefore, the tension in the string is equal to the weight of the object.

Fc=mv^2/r so we get 

2000kg*(25m/s)^2/(80m)= 15625N of force 

hope this helps! Thank You!!

Why do smaller endotherms require more energy per unit of mass than larger endotherms?
Naily [24]
They expend more oxygen. Littler endotherms lose warmth to the earth proportionately speedier than huge endotherms: less warm mass, protecting layers in littler creatures are less successful by dint of being more slender, and more prominent surface region to volume proportion implies snappier radiation of warmth

If you measure the amount of work accomplished in a particular time interval, u have measured-
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The power

Explanation:

We know that the work definition is given by the following expression:

W = F * d

where:

F = force [Newtons] [N]

d = distance [meters] [m]

W = work [Joules]

And the expression that defines the work done by unit of time is called - <u>Power</u>, therefore:

P = W/t

where:

P = power [watts] [w]

W = work [Joules] [J]

t = time [seconds] [s]

You have about 10 quarts of blood in your body. At REST your heart pumps about 5 quarts each minutes. That is half of your blood
Zina [86]

Answer:

8 times

Explanation:

Given that You have about 10 quarts of blood in your body. At REST your heart pumps about 5 quarts each minutes.

That means the heart will pump 10 quarts in 2 minutes.

That is half of your blood volume per minute.

If during exercise it can pump 40 quarts per minute, that is, 80 quarts in 2 minutes.

To know how many times does all of your blood complete the cycle around your body during exercise, you must divide 80 quarts by 10 quarts. That is,

80 / 10 = 8

Therefore, your blood complete the cycle around your body 8 times during the exercise.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ONE QUESTION
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

c) 2.02 x 10^16 nuclei

Explanation:

The isotope decay of an atom follows the equation:

ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]₀

<em>Where [A] is the amount of the isotope after time t, k is decay constant, [A]₀ is the initial amount of the isotope</em>

[A] = Our incognite

k is constant decay:

k = ln 2 / Half-life

k = ln 2 / 4.96 x 10^3 s

k = 1.40x10⁻⁴s⁻¹

t is time = 1.98 x 10^4 s

[A]₀ = 3.21 x 10^17 nuclei

ln[A] = -1.40x10⁻⁴s⁻¹*1.98 x 10^4 s + ln[3.21 x 10^17 nuclei]

ln[A] = 37.538

[A] = 2.01x10¹⁶ nuclei remain ≈

<h3>c) 2.02 x 10^16 nuclei</h3>
