First, we will get the mass of the elevator:
Fw = mass * gravitational acceleration
2 * 10^5 = mass * 9.8
mass = 20.4 * 10^3 kg

Now, the total force acting on the elevator can be written as follows:
Fnet = Tension - Fw
mass * acceleration = Tension - 2*10^5
20.4 * 10^3 * 3 = Tension - 2*10^5
61200 = Tension - 2*10^5
Tension = (61200) + (2*10^5)
Tension = 2.61 * 10^5 newton

A person kicks a ball, giving it an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s up a wooden ramp. When the ball reaches the top, it becomes air
Bess [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

given,

initial velocity of the ball = 20 m/s

angle of ramp = 22°

ball travel at a distance  = 5 m

a) for friction less  

  \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 - mgh

             v^2 = u^2 - 2gh

             v = \sqrt{u^2- 2 g h cos 22^0}

             v = \sqrt{20^2- 2\times 9.8 \times 5 cos 22^0 }

                    v = 17.58 m/s

b) considering the friction

  \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 - mgh-\mu_kmgl

             v^2 = u^2 - 2gh-2\mu_kmgl

             v = \sqrt{u^2- 2 g h cos 22^0-2\mu_kgl}

             v = \sqrt{20^2- 2\times 9.8 \times 5 cos 22^0-2\times 0.15\times 9.8 \times 5 }

                   v = 17.16 m/s

Ann walked 1.5 miles south to her house in 0.5 hours. what is Ann's speed? what is Ann's velocity
ipn [44]

To calculate the speed and velocity of the Ann`s we use the formula,

v= \frac{d}{t}

Here, d is distance and t is time and v if we take it with direction then it is called velocity and if we take it without the direction then it is called speed.

Given d=1.5 miles and t=0.5 hours.

Substituting these values in above equation we get

v=\frac{1.5mi }{0.5 h} = 3 mi/h

As Ann walked towards south direction therefore, Ann`s velocity is 3 mi/h south and her speed is 3 mi/h .

Halley is standing outside on a cloudy day. When she hears thunder, she goes back inside so that she doesn't get caught in
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Inference

Explanation:

An inference involves the application of logic to progress from a premise to a conclusion or logical consequence on the basis of the evidence or known fact. Inference is a process of thought that be divided into a deduction and an induction aspect.

In the given question Halley, by standing outside was able to deduce the sound of thunder she is then able by inductive reasoning from the fact that storms are usually preceded by and accompany lightening, conclude that there is a storm coming.

A helium atom (mass 4.0 u) moving at 598 m/s to the right collides with an oxygen molecule (mass 32 u) moving in the same direct
labwork [276]

Answer:

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of helium ,m₁ = 4 u

u₁=598 m/s

Mass of oxygen ,m₂ = 32 u

u₂  = 401 m/s

v₂ =445 m/s

Given that initially both are moving in the same direction and lets take they are moving in the right direction.

Speed of the helium after collision = v₁

There is no any external force on the masses that is why the linear momentum will be conserve.

Initial linear momentum = Final linear momentum

P = m v

m₁u₁+m₂u₂ = m₁v₁+m₂v₂

598 x 4 + 32 x 401 = 4 x v₁+ 32 x 445

v₁ = 246 m/s

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s
