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

If the rate of change of the magnetic field applied to a loop of wire is doubled, what happens to the induced emf in that loop a
slava [35]

Answer:

It is doubled.

Explanation:

The EMF( Electromotive force) is usually gotten from an energy source. In this case it is from the magnetic field. However when the other parameters are constant then the main focus is between the EMF and the magnetic field. They have a direct proportion relationship which is why when the magnetic field is doubled the EMF is doubled too.

a 1600 kg car on flat ground is moving 6.25 m/s. its engine creates 1150 N forward force as the car moves 45.8 m. what is it fin
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

83,900 J

Explanation:

First, find the acceleration:

F = ma

1150 N = (1600 kg) a

a = 0.719 m/s²

Now find the final velocity.

Given:

Δx = 45.8 m

v₀ = 6.25 m/s

a = 0.719 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

v² = (6.25 m/s)² + 2 (0.719 m/s²) (45.8 m)

v = 10.2 m/s

Now find the final KE:

KE = ½ mv²

KE = ½ (1600 kg) (10.2 m/s)²

KE = 83,920 J

Rounded to three significant figures, the final kinetic energy is 83,900 J.

Why is it that an object can accelerate while
posledela

For the same reason that you can skate around a curve at constant speed but not with constant velocity.

The DIRECTION you're going is part of your velocity, but it's not part of your speed.

If the DIRECTION changes, that's a change of velocity.

The object doesn't have to change speed to have a different velocity. A change of direction is enough to do it.

And any change of velocity is called acceleration.

If the forces are balanced what is the resulting acceleration
icang [17]
There is no acceleration when an object has balanced forces on it. It either moves at a constant velocity or doesn't move at all
