Answer:

15.64 KN

Explanation:

mass of the elevator cab with a single occupant= 2300 kg

acceleration relative to the cab a_{ce}= 6.80 m/s^2

acceleration of the coin relative to the cab in the opposite direction of motion of cab so we can consider it as a= -6.80 m/s^2

The acceleration of elevator cab relative to the ground a_{cg}

now we can say that

a_{ce} +a_{eg} =a_{cg}

=-6.80+ a_{eg}= -9.8

[tex]a_{eg}=-9.8+6.80=-3.8

The forces that act on elevator cab are tension and gravitational, applying newtons second law

T- mg= ma_{eg}

Then the tension in the cable is

T= 2300(-3.8)+2300×9.8=  15640 N= 15.64 KN

therefore tension in the string will be 15.64 KN

What is the kinetic energy of a 120-cm thin uniform rod with a mass of 450 g that is rotating about its center at 3.60 rad/s?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

1.05 J.

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy: This is the energy possessed by a body due to its motion. The S.I unit of kinetic energy is Joules (J). The formula of kinetic energy is given as

Ek = 1/2mv²................. Equation 1

Where Ek = kinetic energy, m = mass of the uniform rod, v = liner velocity of the rod.

But,

v = αr .......................... Equation 2

Where α = angular velocity of the rod, r = radius of the circle.

Given: α = 3.6 red/s, r = 120/2 = 60 cm = 0.6 m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 3.6(0.6)

v = 2.16 m/s.

Also given: m = 450 g = 0.45 kg.

Substitute into equation 1

Ek = 1/2(0.45)(2.16²)

Ek = 1.05 J.

An object with a mass of 20 kg has a net force of 80 N acting on it. What is the acceleration of the object?
Archy [21]

Answer:

4m/s^2

Explanation:

mass(m)=20 kg

force=80 N

acceleration (a)=?

Therefore,

Force = mass * acceleration

80 = 20*a

a=80/20

=4m/s^2

What is described by the terms body-centered cubic and face-centered cubic?
Montano1993 [528]
In physical chemistry, the terms body-centered cubic  (BCC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) refer to the cubic crystal system of a solid. Each solid is made up simple building blocks called lattice units. There are different layouts of a lattice unit.

It is better understood using 3-D models shown in the picture. A BCC unit cell has one lattice point in the center, together with eight corner atoms which represents 1/8 of an atom. Therefore, there are 1+ 8(1/8) = 2 atoms in a BCC unit cell. On the other hand, a FCC unit cell is composed of half of an atom in each of its faces and 1/8 of an atom in its corners. Therefore, there are (1/2)6 + (1/8)8 = 4 atoms in a FCC unit cell.
