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

Write down an equation describing a sinusoidal traveling wave (in 1-D). Tell us (words and/or equations) what in your equation t
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The standard equation of the sinusoidal wave in one dimension is given by

y = A Sin\left ( \frac{2\pi }{\lambda }\left ( vt-x \right )+\phi  \right )

Here, A be the amplitude of the wave

λ be the wavelength of the wave

v be the velocity of the wave

Φ be the phase angle

x be the position of the wave

t be the time

this wave is travelling along positive direction of X axis

The frequency of wave is f which relates with velocity and wavelength as given below

v = f x λ

The relation between the time period and the frequency is

f = 1 / T.

Why is it advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope?​
hram777 [196]

Answer:

While the bus is moving, luggage tends to remain in inertia of motion state. When the bus stops, the luggage tends to resist the change and due to inertia of motion it moves forward and may fall off. That's why it is advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope.

How does atomic bombs work?​
yarga [219]

Answer:

Nuclear fission produces the atomic bomb, a weapon of mass destruction that uses power released by the splitting of atomic nuclei. When a single free neutron strikes the nucleus of an atom of radioactive material like uranium or plutonium, it knocks two or three more neutrons free.

Explanation:

this chain reaction releases tremendous amount of energy

Answer:

8. 2.75·10^-4 s^-1

9. No, too much of the carbon-14 would have decayed for radiation to be detected.

Explanation:

8. The half-life of 42 minutes is 2520 seconds, so you have ...

1/2 = e^(-λt) = e^(-(2520 s)λ)

ln(1/2) = -(2520 s)λ

-ln(1/2)/(2520 s) = λ ≈ 2.75×10^-4 s^-1

___

9. Reference material on carbon-14 dating suggests the method is not useful for time periods greater than about 50,000 years. The half-life of C-14 is about 5730 years, so at 65 million years, about ...

6.5·10^7/5.73·10^3 ≈ 11344

half-lives will have passed. Whatever carbon 14 may have existed at the time will have decayed completely to nothing after that many half-lives.
