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

A spring stretches by 15cm when a mass of 300g hangs down from it,if the spring is then stretched an additional 10cm and release
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

0.1 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the object, m = 350 g = 0.35 kg

Spring constant of the spring, k = 5.2 N/m

Amplitude of the oscillation, A = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Frequency of a spring mass system is given by :

Which of the following statements is not one of Newton's laws of motion?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The answer to your question: d.

Explanation:

a. The rate of change of momentum of an object is equal to the net force applied to the object.  

This is the second a law of motion, so this answer is incorrect.

b. In the absence of a net force acting on it, an object moves with constant velocity.

This is the first Newton law of motion, so this option is not correct.

c. For any force, there always is an equal and opposite reaction force.

This is the third law of motion, so this is not the right option.

d. What goes up must come down.

Newton said this sentence, but is not part of the law of motion.

Assume that the same amount of current passes through the electromagnets shown. Identify which electromagnet is stronger than th
hodyreva [135]

First electromagnet

Explanation:

The first electromagnet is the strongest and it is stronger than the given electromagnet above.

An electromagnet is a temporary magnet made by passing current through a wire wounded round an iron core or metallic core.

  • When current is passed through, the metal becomes magnetic.
  • The strength of the electromagnet depends on the number of coil round the metal core and also the intensity of current passed through it.
  • The higher the number of coils wounded round the metal core, the stronger the electromagnet that will be produced.
  • Also, the higher the intensity of electricity passed through the wire, the stronger it is.
