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

Pluto has been reassigned and is now a dwarf planet. Why did scientists think this reassignment was necessary? If you were a sci
never [62]
Pluto was discovered by the astronomer Clyde Tombaugh in February 1930. It was given the status of the ninth planet of the solar system.
As telescopes, particularly in on satellites, improved, more objects were discovered which caused a problem that they were quite small and some astronomers didn't think they qualified as being planets.
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) had a vote which was very close. They defined three criteria which a planet must satisfy.
It must be large enough for gravity to overcome structures of materials and make it spherical. Most bodies are flattened spheroids due to rotation.
It must orbit the Sun.
It must have cleared its orbit of other bodies other than moons.
The IAU created a new definition of an object called a dwarf planet which only satisfies the first two criteria. Pluto fails the third criterion, so it was demoted to a dwarf planet.
Many people, including myself, still consider Pluto to be the ninth planet.
To be pedantic, Jupiter has a lot of asteroids in its orbit at its two Lagrange points. They are called trojan asteroids. So, this means that Jupiter fails the IAU's third criterion and should be a dwarf planet, which it is certainly not!

A rectangular reflecting pool is 56.5 ft wide and 141 ft long. What is the area of the pool in square meters
konstantin123 [22]

By definition, the area of the pool is 740.112 m².

<h3>Definition of area</h3>

The area is the measure of a space delimited by a contour which is called perimeter.

That is, the area gives an idea of ​​how much surface a figure covers and is defined as the measure of the region or surface enclosed by a geometric figure.

<h3>Area of a rectangle</h3>

A rectangle is a flat geometric figure with four sides, of which two sides that are opposite parallel to each other have the same length and the remaining two have another length.

The area of ​​a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the lengths of two contiguous sides of the figure which are different from each other, that is, the length is multiplied by the width:

Area= length× width

<h3>This case</h3>

A rectangular reflecting pool is 56.5 ft wide and 141 ft long. So, the area of the rectangular pool is calculated as:

Area= length× width

Area= 141 ft× 56.5 ft

Solving:

<u><em>Area= 7966.5 ft²= 740.112 m²</em></u> (being 1 ft²= 0.092903 m²)

So, the area of the pool is 740.112 m².
