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

What is the difference between tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration?
Nuetrik [128]

Centripetal acceleration is directed along a radius so it may also be called the radial acceleration. If the speed is not constant, then there is also a tangential acceleration (at). The tangential acceleration is, indeed, tangent to the path of the particle's motion.

A 57 g ice cube can slide without friction up and down a 33 ∘ slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring at the bottom of t
beks73 [17]
The springs stored energy is transferred to the cube as kinetic energy and then by the slop the KE is converted to height energy. 

<span>0.5 . k . x^2 = 0.5 . m . v^2 = m . g . ∆h </span>

<span>0.5 . 50 . (0.1^2) = 0.05 . 9.8 . ∆h </span>

<span>∆h = 0.51 m = 51 cm </span>

<span>This is the height gained </span>
<span>Distance along the slope = ∆h / sin 60 = 0.589 = 59 cm </span>

<span>In the second case, the stored spring energy is converted into height energy AND frictional heat energy. </span>

<span>The height energy is m . g . d sin 60 where d is the distance the cube moves along the slope. </span>

<span>The Frictional energy converted is F . d </span>

<span>F ( the frictional force ) = µ . N </span>

<span>N ( the reaction to the component of the gravity force perpendicular to the surface of the slope ) = m . g . cos60 </span>

<span>Total energy converted </span>

<span>0.5 . k . x^2 = (m . g . dsin60) + (µ . m . g . cos60 . d ) </span>

<span>Solve for d </span>

<span>d = 0.528 = 53 cm</span>

To the nearest square foot, how many square feet are there in an area of 4.4 square meters?
vichka [17]

Answer:

    4.4 square meters = 47 square foot

Explanation:

We have

    1 meter = 3.28084 foot

    1 square meter = 3.28084 x 3.28084 square foot = 10.76 square foot

    4.4 square meters = 4.4 x 10.76 = 47.36 square foot = 47 square foot

    4.4 square meters = 47 square foot
