Answer: Tension = 53.6N

Explanation:

Given that

Height h = 1 m

Time t = 1.7 s.

Mass m = 5.1 kg 

From the equation of the motion we can get the acceleration of the elevator:

h = X0+ V0t + at2/2;

Th elevator starts from rest with a constant upward acceleration. Initial velocity Vo = 0, also Xo = 0; thus

a = 2h/t2 = 2 × 1/1.7^2

a = 0.69 m/s2.

Then we can find the tension in the cord by using the formula

T = mg + ma

= 5.1 (9.8 + 0.69)

= 5.1 × 10.5

= 53.6N

A researcher studying the nutritional value of a new candy places a 4.60 g sample of the candy inside a bomb calorimeter and com
blagie [28]

Answer:

4500.5 nutritional calories per gram

Explanation:

Heat lost by the new candy = heat gained by the bomb calorimeter.

Heat gained by the bomb calorimeter = c×ΔT

where c = heat capacity of the calorimeter = 32.20 KJ/K = 32200 J/K

ΔT = change in temperature = 2.69°C = 2.69 K.

Heat gained by the bomb calorimeter = 32200 × 2.69 = 86618 J

Heat lost by the new candy = heat gained by the bomb calorimeter = 86618 J = 20702.2 calories

4.60 g of the new candy lost this amount of calories by undergoing combustion,

The amount of calories per g = 20702.2 calories/4.6 g = 4500.5 calories per gram

N capacitors are connected in parallel to form a "capacitor circuit". The capacitance of first capacitor is C, second one is C/2
liberstina [14]

Answer:

2C

Explanation:

The equivalent capacitance of a parallel combination of capacitors is the sum of their capacitance.

So, if the capacitance of each capacitor is half the previous one, we have a geometric series with first term = C and rate = 0.5.

Using the formula for the sum of the infinite terms of a geometric series, we have:

Sum = First term / (1 - rate)

Sum = C / (1 - 0.5)

Sum = C / 0.5 = 2C

So the equivalent capacitance of this parallel connection is 2C.

particle of mass 59 g and charge 51 µC is released from rest when it is 32 cm from a second particle of charge −14 µC. Determine
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The initial acceleration of the 59g particle is 1062.7\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Explanation:

Newton's second laws relates acceleration (a), net force(F) and mass (m) in the next way:

F=ma (1)

We already know the mass of the particle so we should find the electric force on it to use on (1), the magnitude of the electric force between two charged objects by Columb's law is:

F=k\frac{\mid q_{1}q_{2}\mid}{r^{2}}

with q1 and q2 the charge of the particles, r the distance between them and k the constant k=9.0\times10^{9}\,\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}. So:

F=(9.0\times10^{9})\frac{\mid (51\times10^{-6})(-14\times10^{-6})\mid}{0.32^{2}}

F=62.7 N

Using that value on (1) and solving for a

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{62.7}{0.059}=1062.7\frac{m}{s^{2}}
