an elevator mass of 7700 kg falls from a height of 32 m after a sudden failure in the hoisting cable. The mass is stopped by a s

valkas [14]

Answer:k=28.29 kN/m

Explanation:

Given

mass $m =7700 kg$

height from which Elevator falls $h=32 m$

Let x be the compression in the spring

thus From conservation of Energy Potential energy will convert in to Elastic Potential Energy of spring

$\frac{kx^2}{2}=mg(h+x)$ ----------1

also maximum acceleration is 5g

thus

$mg-kx=ma$

here $a=-5g$

$kx=mg-m(-5g)=6mg$

$x=\frac{6mg}{k}$

Substitute x in equation 1

$0.5\times k\times (\frac{6mg}{k})^2=mg(h+\frac{6mg}{k})$

$18\frac{(mg)^2}{k}=mgh+6\frac{(mg)^2}{k}$

$k=12\cdot \frac{mg}{h}$

$k=12\times \frac{7700\times 9.8}{32}$

$k=28.29 kN/m$

Your teacher (175kg) and the lab (15kg) are 2m apart. What is the gravitational force between them? Draw a FBD, and label

Pachacha [2.7K]

The gravitational force between two objects is given by
$F=G \frac{m_1 m_2 }{r^2}$
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is the separation between the two objects

In this problem, $m_1 = 175 kg$ , $m_2 =15 kg$ and $r=2 m$ , therefore the gravitational force between the two objects is
$F=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}) \frac{(175 kg)(15 kg)}{(2m)^2}=4.38 \cdot10^{-8} N$

Which best describes the direction of heat?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

MRCORRECT has answered the question

Explanation:

According to second law of thermodynamic,heat flows from higher to lower temperature region. Heat is the transfer of energy from an object at higher temperature to an object at a lower temperature. so energy flows from warmer to colder objects

La unidad de calor es la caloría; es posible expresarla en el sistema internacional de medidas??

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Yes, the calorie can be expressed in SI units

Explanation:

1 calorie (1 cal) is defined as the amount of heat energy that must be supplied to 1 gram of water in order to raise its temperature by 1 degree Celsius ( $1^{\circ}C$ .

The calorie is not a unit of the International System (SI): the SI unit for the energy is the Joule (J).

However, it is possible to convert energy from calories to Joules, and viceversa. In fact, the conversion factor between the two units is:

1 calorie = 4.184 Joules

So, to convert from calories to Joules we simply multiply by 4.184, while if we want to convert from Joules to calories, we just divide by 4.184.
