An elevator is being pulled up from the ground floor to the third floor by a cable. The cable is exerting 4500 newtons of force
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The gravitational force on the elevator = 4500N

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The force applied by the elevator, F  = 4500 N

The acceleration of the elevator = Not accelerating

From Newton's third law of motion, the action of the cable force is equal to the reaction of the gravitational force on the elevator which is the weight, W and motion of the elevator as follows;

F = W + Mass of elevator × Acceleration of elevator

∴ F = W + Mass of elevator × 0 = W

F = 4500 N = W

The net force on the elevator is F - W = 0

The gravitational force on the elevator = W = 4500N.

A block of a plastic material floats in water with 42.9% of its volume under water. What is the density of the block in kg/m3?
adell [148]

To solve this problem we will apply the principle of buoyancy of Archimedes and the relationship given between density, mass and volume.

By balancing forces, the force of the weight must be counteracted by the buoyancy force, therefore

\sum F = 0

F_b -W = 0

F_b = W

F_b = mg

Here,

m = mass

g =Gravitational energy

The buoyancy force corresponds to that exerted by water, while the mass given there is that of the object, therefore

\rho_w V_{displaced} g = mg

Remember the expression for which you can determine the relationship between mass, volume and density, in which

\rho = \frac{m}{V} \rightarrow m = V\rho

In this case the density would be that of the object, replacing

\rho_w V_{displaced} g = V\rho g

Since the displaced volume of water is 0.429 we will have to

\rho_w (0.429V) = V \rho

0.429\rho_w= \rho

The density of water under normal conditions is 1000kg / m ^ 3, so

0.429(1000) = \rho

\rho = 429kg/m^3

The density of the object is 429kg / m ^ 3

Red, green, and blue light rays each enter a drop of water from the same direction.Which light ray's path through the drop will
geniusboy [140]
Blue light will bend more than the others because it has a slightly greater refractive index. This is because blue light has a shorter wavelength and more energy, meaning it has to slow down more than the others when it hits the water.
