an 1150kg elevator moving down speeds up at a rate of 3.5m/s. what is the tension in the supporting cables?

Physics

gtnhenbr [62]3 years ago

Answer:

The tension force in the supporting cables is 7245N

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the elevator: the force of gravity pointing down (+) with magnitude (elevator mass) x (gravitational acceleration), and the tension force of the cable pointing up (-) with an unknown magnitude F. The net force is the sum of these forces:

F_{net} = F_g - F = m\cdot g - F\\

We are given the resulting acceleration along with the mass, i.e., we know the net force, allowing us to solve for F:

1150kg\cdot 3.5\frac{m}{s^2}= 1150kg \cdot 9.8\frac{m}{s^2}-F\\\implies F = 1150kg\cdot(9.8-3.5)\frac{m}{s^2}= 7245N

The tension force F in the supporting cables is 7245N

An electric furnace is to melt 40 kg of aluminium/hour. The initial temperature of aluminium is 32°C. Given that aluminium has s
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Part a)

P = 13.93 kW

Part b)

R = 8357.6 Cents

Explanation:

Part A)

heat required to melt the aluminium is given by

Q = ms\Delta T + mL

here we have

Q = 40(950)(680 - 32) + 40(450 \times 10^3)

Q = 24624 kJ + 18000 kJ

Q = 42624 kJ

Since this is the amount of aluminium per hour

so power required to melt is given by

P = \frac{Q}{t}

P = \frac{42624}{3600} kW

P = 11.84 kW

Since the efficiency is 85% so actual power required will be

P = \frac{11.84}{0.85} = 13.93 kW

Part B)

Total energy consumed by the furnace for 30 hours

Energy = power \times time

Energy = 13.93 kW\times 30 h

Energy = 417.9 kWh

now the total cost of energy consumption is given as

R = P \times 20 \frac{Cents}{kWh}

R = 417.9 kWh\times  20 \frac{cents}{kWh}

R = 8357.6 Cents

A 50.-kilogram rock rolls off the edge of a cliff. if it is traveling at a speed of 24.2 m/s when it hits the ground, what is th
ElenaW [278]

The correct answer to the question is : 29.88 m.

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, the mass of the rock m = 50 Kg.

The rock is rolling off the edges of the cliff.

The final velocity of the rock when it hits the ground v = 24 .2 m/s.

Let the height of the cliff is h.

The potential energy gained by the rock at the top of the cliff = mgh.

Here, g is known as acceleration due to gravity, and g = 9.8\ m/s^2

When the rock rolls off the edge of the cliff, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

When the rock hits the ground, whole of its potential energy is converted into its kinetic energy.

The kinetic energy of the rock when it touches the ground is given as -

                Kinetic energy K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2.

From above we know that -

   Kinetic energy at the bottom of the cliff = potential energy at a height h

                 \frac{1}{2}mv^2=\ mgh

                ⇒ v^2=\ 2gh

                ⇒ h=\ \frac{v^2}{2g}

                ⇒ h=\ \frac{(24.2)^2}{2\times 9.8}

                ⇒ h=\ 29.88\ m

Hence, the height of the cliff is 29.88 m

A bartender slides a beer mug at 1.6 m/s towards a customer at the end of a frictionless bar that is 1.1 m tall. The customer ma
Drupady [299]

Answer:

(a): the mug hits the floor 0.752m away from the end of the bar.

(b): the speed of the mug at impact are:

V= 4.87 m/s

direction= 70.82º below the horizontal.

Explanation:

Vx= 1.6 m/s

Vy=?

h= 1.1 m

g= 9.8 m/s²

t is the fall time

t=\sqrt{\frac{2*h}{g} }

t=0.47 sec

Vy= g*t

Vy= 4.6 m/s

V=\sqrt{Vx^{2} +Vy^{2}

V= 4.87 m/s

α= tan⁻¹(Vy/Vx)

α= -70.82º

1) A plane's velocity increases from 40 m/s to 100 m/s over a 10 second interval. What is the plane's average acceleration for t
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

average acceleration = 6 \frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

Recall that the average acceleration (a)  is defined by the change in velocity from an initial velocity (v_i), to a final velocity (v_f) over the time (t) it took that change to happen. Then, in mathematical terms this is:

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

with our information this becomes:

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t} = \frac{100-40}{10}=6\,\frac{m}{s^2}
