A weight is hung from the ceiling of an elevator by a massless string. Under which circumstances will the tension in the cord be

the least?
Physics

Oduvanchick [21]3 years ago

When the elevator is going up (assuming the elevator is acceleration)

When the elevator is accelerating downwards, the total gravitational force would be larger.

If the elevator is accelerating upwards, then the gravitation force would be smaller, thus the tension in the string would be smaller.

What is the frequency of a wave?
Paladinen [302]
The answer should be the number, or amount, of cycles that occur in a given time. Frequency is basically Hertz. Frequency is the number of waves that pass through a certain point every second. I hope that I was able to answer your question.
Peace out!

What is the difference between kinetic and gravitacional energy?
kondaur [170]

Answer:

In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion

In classical mechanics, the gravitational potential at a location is equal to the work (energy transferred) per unit mass that would be needed to move an object to that location from a fixed reference location. It is analogous to the electric potential with mass playing the role of charge. The reference location, where the potential is zero, is by convention infinitely far away from any mass, resulting in a negative potential at any finite distance.

In mathematics, the gravitational potential is also known as the Newtonian potential and is fundamental in the study of potential theory. It may also be used for solving the electrostatic and magnetostatic fields generated by uniformly charged or polarized ellipsoidal bodies

It is claimed that if a lead bullet goes fast enough, it can melt completely when it comes to a halt suddenly, and all its kinet
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

354.72 m/s

Explanation:

m = mass of lead bullet

c = specific heat of lead = 128 J/(kg °C)

L = Latent heat of fusion of lead = 24500 J/kg

T_{i} = initial temperature = 27.4 °C

T_{f} = final temperature = melting point of lead =  327.5 °C

v = Speed of lead bullet

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy of bullet = Heat required for change of temperature + Heat of melting

(0.5) m v^{2} = m c (T_{f} - T_{i}) + m L\\(0.5) v^{2} = c (T_{f} - T_{i}) + L\\(0.5) v^{2} = (128) (327.5 - 27.4) + 24500\\(0.5) v^{2} = 62912.8\\v = 354.72 ms^{-1}
