An object is hung from a spring balance attached to the ceiling of an elevator cab. The balance reads 65 N when the cab is stand

ing still. What is the reading when the cab is moving upward (a) with a constant speed of 7.6 m/s and (b) with a speed of 7.6 m/s while decelerating at a rate of 2.4 m/s2

Answer:

(A) Reading will be 65 N

(B) Net force on the elevator will be 49.076 N    

Explanation:

We have given the balance force = 65 N

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

We know that W=mg

So 65=m\times 9.8

m = 6.632 kg

(a) In first case as the as the speed is constant so the force on the elevator will be 65 N

(B) In second case as the elevator is decelerating at a rate of 2.4m/sec^2

So net acceleration = 9.8-2.4=7.4m/sec^2

So net force on elevator will be = m× net acceleration = 6.632×7.4 = 49.076 N

A 30kg mass is brought from the earth to the moon what is the weight on the earth
ozzi

Answer:

Solution

verified

Verified by Toppr

Given:

Mass of body = 30 kg

gravitational acceleration on the moon = 1.62 m/s

2

Weight of the body on the moon = Mass of the body×gravitational acceleration on the moon=30×1.62=48 N

What might happen if water molecules did not have a slight negative charge on one end and a slight positive charge on the other?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

It would not be possible the cohesion among water molecules by the polar covalent bonding.

Well, to understand this in a better way, let's begin by explaining that water is special due to its properties, which makes this fluid useful for many purposes and for the existence of life.

In this sense, one of the main properties of water is cohesion (molecular cohesion), which is the attraction of molecules to others of the same type. So, water molecule (H_{2}O) has 2 hydrogen atoms attached to 1 oxygen atom and can  stick to itself through hydrogen bonds.

How is this possible?

By the polar covalent bonding, a process in which electrons are shared unequally between atoms, due to the unequal distribution of electrons between atoms of different elements. In other words: slightly positive and slightly negative charges appear in different parts of the molecule.  

Now, it can be said that a water molecule has a negative side (oxygen) and a positive side (hydrogen).  This is how the oxygen atom tends to monopolize more electrons and keeps them away from hydrogen. Thanks to this polarity, water molecules can stick together.

An electric toy with a resistance of 2.50 Ω is operated by a 3.00-V battery. (a) What current does the toy draw? (b) Assuming th
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

a) The current is i = 1.2 A

b) The charge is Q = 17280 C

c) The energy is E = 43200 J

Explanation:

a) The current is given by the ohm's law wich is:

i = V/R = 3/2.5 = 1.2 A

b) Since the charge is steady we can use the following equation to find the charge amount in that time:

i = Q/t

Q = t*i

Where t is in seconds, so we have 4h * 3600 = 14400 s

Q = 1.2*14400 = 17280 C

c)  The energy is the power delivered to the toy multiplied by the time:

P = 1.2*2.5 = 3 W

E = P*t = 3*14400 = 43200 J

WORKDONE = FORCE * DISPLACEMENT
W=F*S
HERE, THE FORCE = 100N AND DISTANCE = 20M
WORKDONE = 100*20
WORKDONE=2000
ITS S.I UNIT IS JOULE OR J
SO, 2000J
