In a "worst-case" design scenario, a 2000 kg elevator with broken cables is falling at 4.00 m/s when it first contacts a cushion

ing spring at the bottom of the shaft. The spring is supposed to stop the elevator, compressing 2.00 m as it does so. Spring coefficient is 10.6 kN/m. During the motion a safety clamp applies a constant 17000-N frictional force to the elevator. When the elevator is 1.00 m below point where it first contacts a spring, what is its acceleration?

Answer:

4 m/s²

Explanation:

 When the elevator is 1 m below point of contact , compression will be 1 m.

Restoring force in the spring will be 10600 N. Friction force of 17000N  will also act in upward direction . The weight of 2000 x 9.8 N will act downwards

Force in down ward direction = 2000 x 9.8

= 19600 N

Force in upward direction

= 10600 + 17000

= 27600 N

Net force in upward direction

= 27600 - 19600

= 8000 N

Acceleration in upward direction

= 8000 / 2000

= 4 m/s²

84. Three resitors each of value 30 respectively are connected in a parallel
kati45 [8]

Answer:

each resistor draws 1/3 of an amp or 0.33333 amps

Explanation:

V = I * R

V = 10 volts

R = 30 ohms

10 = I * 30       Divide by 30

10/30 = I

I = 0.33333

Why does a gymnast rub powder on his hands before exercising on a set of parallel bars? (I need a scientific answer)
dlinn [17]

<u>Answer</u>

To increase friction for a better grip.

<u>Answer</u>

Most human beings do sweat hands especially on the palm. When this happens the person will not have a good grip of heavy objects because they will slide/slip from the hand.

<em>By applying the powder, you are trying to make the hand dry hence increasing the friction for a better grip. </em>

If the gymnast doesn't do this the parallel bars may slip from the hands and injure himself or herself.

A. make an argument for halting the advances of technology? b. make an argument for continuing advances in technology
Naddik [55]
<span>Halting advances in tech could be useful because the automation in many tasks has rendered the human touch obsolete in many lower-level positions. They can be done by machines without the need for stoppage time for breaks. Continuing technology can be useful because it can increase output and make it easier for people to get what they're wanting or needing without spending extravagant amounts of resources.</span>
