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

Una patinadora de 50 kg parte del reposo y después de recorrer 3k alcanza una velocidad de 15 m/s. ¿Qué fuerza neta experimenta
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

F_{net} = 1.875\,N

Explanation:

Asúmase que la patinadora experimenta una aceleración constante. La fuerza neta experimentada por la patinadora:

F_{net} = (50\,kg)\cdot \left[\frac{\left(15\,\frac{m}{s}\right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s}\right)^{2} }{2\cdot (3000\,m)} \right]

F_{net} = 1.875\,N

If you had started with a larger mass, how would the half-life change?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

There is no change, unless your mass is somehow at the quantum level, at which the concept of half-life breaks down.

Half life is a property of the specific radioactive isotope...NOT of the initial sample's mass.

How is the q of an rlc parallel resonant circuit calculated?
notka56 [123]

Answer:

It is calculated by dividing Resistance, R, by Inductive reactance, XL.

Explanation:

Q is called the Q factor of a resonance circuit. In a parallel resonance circuit, it is calculated by finding the ratio of the power stored in the circuit to the power distributed in the circuit. It is a way of measuring the quality of a circuit or how effective the circuit is.

Q factor is the inverse in the resonance series circuit.

Q factor of a resonance parallel circuit,

<h3>Q = R/XL</h3>

R = Resistance

XL = Inductive reactance
