An elevator held by a single cable is ascending but slowing down. Is the work done by tension positive, negative, or zero? What

about the work done by gravity? Explain
Physics
1 answer:
inessss [21]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

1.) Work = Force*Distance

2.) The direction of motion lies in the same direction as the tension in the cable. So the work done by tension would be positive.

3.) The direction of the weight (due to gravity) would act opposite to the direction of motion of the elevator, so work done by gravity becomes negative.

Juan amd kym have four samples of matter. They are observing and describing the properties of these samples. Which property will
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: The property that will best provide evidence that the samples are solid includes:

--> if the substance has a definite shape,

-->if the substance has a definite volume

--> if it's tightly packed.

Explanation:

According to the kinetic theory of matter, every substance consist of very large number of very small particles called molecules. These molecules, which are made up of atoms that are the smallest particles of a substance that can exist in a free state.

Matter can exist in the following states:

--> Solid state

--> liquid state or

--> Gaseous state.

The general property of a substance that is in gaseous state includes:

--> Definite shape: A substance can be grouped as a solid if it's shape is fixed that is, it doesn't depend on the shape of other materials.

--> Definite volume: A substance can be grouped as a solid if it occupies its own shape. This is due to the force of cohesion among its molecules.

--> Tightly packed: A substance can be grouped as solid if the molecular movements of the particles are negligible.

From the samples under observation by Juan and kym, if the sample that possesses the above described qualities, it is a solid rather than liquid or gas.

A garden hose having with an internal diameter of 1.1 cm is connected to a (stationary) lawn sprinkler that consists merely of a
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Water leaves the sprinkler at a speed of 2.322 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given internal diameter of the garden d_1=1.1cm

Speed of water in the hose is v_1=0.95m/sec

Number of holes n = 22

Diameter of each holes d_2=15cm

According to continuity equation A_1v_1=A_2v_2

d_1^2\times v_1=22\times d_2^2v_2

1.1^2\times 0.95=22\times 0.15^2\times v_2

v_2=2.322m/sec

So water leaves the sprinkler at a speed of 2.322 m/sec
