The forces acting on the elevator are:

Gravity force

Tension force

Air resistance

Explanation:

Let's go through each of the forces listed and see which ones are acting on the elevator.

Normal force: NO. The normal force is a force exerted by a surface whenever there is another object "pushing" on it. For instance, when a box is at rest on a table, the box is "pushing" on the table (due to its weight), and the table "pushes back" on the box, upward, in order to balance its weight: this is the normal force. In this case, the elevator is lifted, so it is not pushing on anything, therefore there is no normal force.
Gravity force: YES. The force of gravity acts on every object located in the gravitational field of the Earth; it pulls downward, and its magnitude is $mg$ , where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration of gravity.
Applied force: NO. Here there is no applied force, since there is nobody "pushing" or "pulling" the elevator.
Friction force: NO. As we are considering the forces on the elevator, and the elevator is not sliding against any surfaces, there is no force of friction. (The force of friction acts whenever there are two surfaces sliding against each other, which is not the case here)
Tension force: YES. The tension force is the force exerted by a rope or a string when pulling an object. In this case, there are four ropes pulling the elevator, therefore there are 4 forces of tension acting on the elevator, upward.
Air resistance: YES. As the elevator is moving through the air, the interaction between the molecules of air with the surface of the elevator produces a force (called air resistance) that "resists" the motion of the elevator, therefore pushing downward. However, the magnitude of this force is negligible in this case.

Using any data you can find in the ALEKS Data resource, calculate the equilibrium constant K at 25.0 °C for the following reacti

Yakvenalex [24]

The equilibrium constant of the reaction at 25⁰c will be 426827.5.

Theory-

Equilibrium constant :The equilibrium constant comes from the chemical equilibrium law. For the chemical equilibrium state, at a fixed constant temperature, the ratio of the product of the reaction's multiplication to the concentration of its reactants' multiplication, and each is raised to the power to the corresponding coefficients of the elements in the reaction.

The chemical equilibrium is given by for a general chemical reaction.

a. A+ b. B ⇌ c. C+ d. D,.

Kc =[C]c [D]d/[A]a [B]b.

Gibb's free energy :The second law of thermodynamics can be arranged in such a way that it gives a new expression when a chemical reaction happens at a constant temperature and constant pressure.

G=H-TS

Calculations:-

T=25⁰c

G=51.4 x 10³J

$\\\\k=GR+\frac{nRT}{Z} \\$

k= equilibrium constant ,G=Gibbs free energy ,n= no. of moles ,R=Gas constant ,T=temperature ,Z=compressibility

$Ideal.Situation=\left \{ {{Z=1} \atop {n=1}} \right.$

$\\\\\\k=GR+RT$

k=51.4 x 10³ x 8.3 + 8.3 x 25

k=426827.5

A grating has 470 lines/mm. how many orders of the visible wavelength 538 nm can it produce in addition to the m = 0 order?

Natali [406]

Three complete orders on each side of the m=0 order can be produced in addition to the m=0 order.

The ruling separation is d=1/(470mm-1)

$= 2.1 \times 10 {}^{ - 3}mm$

Diffraction lines occurs at an angle θ such that dsin=mλ,when λ is the wavelength and m is an integer.

Notice that for a given order,the line associated with a long wavelength is produced at a greater angle than the line associated with shorter wavelength.

we take λ to be the longest wavelength in the visible spectrum (538nm) and find the greatest integer value of m such that θ is less than 90°.

That is,find the greater integer value of m for which mλ<d.

since,d/λ

$= 538 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} m/2.1 \times 10 {}^{ - 6}$

There are three complete orders on each side of the m=0 order.

The second and third orders overlap.

A .5kg bird is perched on its nest so that it has 50J of potential energy. how far is it off the of the ground?

pshichka [43]

It is 10.20 m from the ground.

Explanation:

Given:

m = 0.5 kg

PE = 50 J

We know that the Potential energy is calculated by the formula:

$P. E = m \times g \times h$

where m is the is mass in kg; g is acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s and h is height in meters.

PE is the Potential Energy.

Potential Energy is the amount of energy stored when an object is stationary.

Here, if we substitute the values in the formula, we get

$P. E = m \times g \times h$

50 = 0.5 × 9.8 × h

50 = 4.9 × h

$h = \frac {50} {4.9}$

h = 10.20 m
