An 888.0 kg elevator is moving downward with a velocity of 0.800 m/s. It decelerates uniformly and comes to a stop in a distance
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The value of tension on the cable T = 1065.6 N

Explanation:

Mass = 888 kg

Initial velocity ( u )= 0.8 \frac{m}{sec}

Final velocity ( V ) = 0

Distance traveled before come to rest = 0.2667 m

Now use third law of motion V^{2} = u^{2} - 2 a s

Put all the values in above formula we get,

⇒ 0 = 0.8^{2} - 2 × a ×0.2667

⇒ a = 1.2 \frac{m}{sec^{2} }

This is the deceleration of the box.

Tension in the cable is given by T = F = m × a

Put all the values in above formula we get,

T = 888 × 1.2

T = 1065.6 N

This is the value of tension on the cable.

Acceleration toward the center of a curved path is called
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration.

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is a property of a body moving in a uniform circular path and it is directed radially towards the center of the circle in which body is rotating.

The force which causes this acceleration is centripetal force which is also directed towards the center of the circle and pulls the body towards its center.

It is calculated through following formula

a=v^2/r

where v is velocity and r is the radius of the circle.

A 180 lb crate is on the ground, and a strong rope is attached. You need to move it across the basement floor, which has a coeff
jekas [21]

Answer:

F = 505.13 N

Yes it is better to pull the rope rather than push it

Explanation:

Let the force is applied at an angle of 60 degree

so we will have net vertical force on the crate is given as

F_n + Fsin60 = mg

here we know

m = 180 lb

m = 81.65 kg

F_n = 81.65(9.81) - Fsin60

F_n = 801 - 0.866 F

now friction force on the crate is given as

F_x = \mu F_n

Fcos60 = 0.7(801 - 0.866 F)

0.5F + 0.61F = 560.7

F = 505.13 N

Yes it is better to pull the rope rather than push it
