In a "worst-case" design scenario, a 2000 kg elevator with broken cables is falling at 4.00 m/s when it first contacts a cushion
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

4 m/s²

Explanation:

 When the elevator is 1 m below point of contact , compression will be 1 m.

Restoring force in the spring will be 10600 N. Friction force of 17000N  will also act in upward direction . The weight of 2000 x 9.8 N will act downwards

Force in down ward direction = 2000 x 9.8

= 19600 N

Force in upward direction

= 10600 + 17000

= 27600 N

Net force in upward direction

= 27600 - 19600

= 8000 N

Acceleration in upward direction

= 8000 / 2000

= 4 m/s²

What is the formula that can be used to calculate the mechanical advantage of a wedge?
Olegator [25]
A wedge is one of the six simple machines. It is characterized by an object that has a defined width at one side that slopes to a point at the other end. This simple machines allows a force that is applied over a large area to be concentrated upon an edge or smaller area, such as a knife. This concentration of force is the mechanical advantage (MA) the wedge provides. Each of the six simple machines offers a mechanical advantage, and it can be quickly calculated for a wedge.SCIENCING

A wedge is one of the six simple machines. It is characterized by an object that has a defined width at one side that slopes to a point at the other end. This simple machines allows a force that is applied over a large area to be concentrated upon an edge or smaller area, such as a knife. This concentration of force is the mechanical advantage (MA) the wedge provides. Each of the six simple machines offers a mechanical advantage, and it can be quickly calculated for a wedge.



Find the length of the sloped surface of the wedge. For a real-world object, this can be found in by measuring with a tape measure or ruler. In the case of a math problem, this value is sometimes given. If it is not, it can be calculated using the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2)+(b^2)=(c^2) or the law of cosines (cos(a)/A)=(cos(b)/B)=(cos(c)/C)

Find the width of the large end of the wedge. This too can be found either by direct measurement or by mathematical calculation. Divide the slope length by the width of the wedge to find the mechanical advantage. MA=(Slope Length)/(Width)

TIP
Make sure that all lengths are in the same unit of measure.

A truck using a rope to tow a 2230-kg car accelerates from rest to 13.0 m/s in a time of 15.0s. How strong must the rope be? μk
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The rope must have a force of 10084,21 N

Explanation:

ac=ac=\frac{13}{15} \frac{m}{s}

ac=ac=\frac{13}{15} \frac{m}{s}

ac = at = \frac{13-0}{15-0}

We replaced the known information in the equation(1):

vi = Initial speed = 0, ti = initial time = 0

Known information:

at: truck acceleration(m/s2)

ac: car acceleration\frac{m}{s^{2} }

Kinematic analysis  

The car acceleration is equal to the acceleration of the truck because the truck and the car are connected by the rope.  

We apply Newton's first law to calculate the Normal force because there is no movement in the vertical direction:  

∑Fy= 0  

N-W=0  

N=W  

N=21854 N  

We replace the values of the mc and g in the equation(2):  

Wc= 2230*9.8  

Wc=21854 N  

Normal force calculation:  

Car weight calculation:  

Wc=mc*g  

mc = Car mass = 2230kg  

g = Gravity acceleration=9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }  

Friction force calculation (Ff):  

We have the formula to calculate the friction force:  

Ff = μk * N Equation (3)  

μk: kinetic coefficient of friction  

We know that μk = 0.373and N= 21854N , then we replaced this data in(3):  

Ff=0.373*21854

Ff=8151.54 N

Calculation of the tension force in the ro pe (T):  

We apply Newton's Second law to calculate the Normal force because there is no movement in the horizontal direction:  

∑Fx= mc*ac

We take the sense of the forces like this:  

positive to the right and negative to the left  

T-Ff=mc*ac

T=2230(\frac{13}{15} + 8151.54

T=10084,21 N

Answer: The rope must have a force of 10084,21 N
