An elevator supported by a single cable descends a shaft at a constant speed. The only forces acting on the elevator are the ten

sion in the cable and the gravitational force. Which one of the following statements is true? A) The magnitude of the work done by the tension force is larger than that done by the gravitational force. B) The magnitude of the work done by the gravitational force is larger than that done by the tension force. C) The work done by the tension force is zero joules. D) The work done by the gravitational force is zero joules. E) The net work done by the two forces is zero joules.

Answer:

E) The net work done by the two forces is zero joules.

Explanation:

As the elevator is moving at a constant speed, it is the same as being stationary. The tension in the cable perfectly balances the gravitational force. Work done by gravity = mgh

Work done by the tension = -Th

where, T = tension force. The negative sign comes as the direction of T is opposite to the direction of g. As the elevator moves at a constant speed, the magnitude of the two forces must be equal. Therefore, the total work done,

W = (mg - T)h = 0

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

3 photons

Explanation:

The energy of a photon E can be calculated using this formula:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Where h corresponds to Plank constant (6.626070x10^-34Js), c is the speed of light in the vacuum (299792458m/s) and \lambda is the wavelength of the photon(in this case 800nm).

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.626070\times10^{-34})(299792458)}{800\times10^{-9}}=\frac{1.986445812\times10^-25}{800}=2.483057265\times10^{-19}J

Tranform the units

1eV=1.602176634\times10^{-19}J\\2.483057265\times10^{-19}J(\frac{1eV}{1.602176634\times10^{-19}J})=1.549802445eV

The band Gap is 4eV, divide the band gap between the energy of the photon:

\frac{4ev}{1.549802445eV}=2.508974118

Rounding to the next integrer: 3.

Three photons are the minimum to equal or exceed the band gap.

Explain the movement in the sky​
Montano1993 [528]

The motion of planets is separate to the motion of stars. Like everything in the sky, they rise in the east, and set in the west, because of the earth's rotation. But night by night, their position at a given time changes because of their orbit around the sun.

The energy transfer diagram represents the energy of a person diving into a pool.
GREYUIT [131]
The answer is A) 1000 J
According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy before an action is always equal to the total energy after the action.
So that is, the total energy is 8000J found as potential energy, 7000J has transformed into kinetic energy, then the thermal energy should be the remaining 1000J.

Hope this helps.

3. If you put flowers in water through what process does the water enter the steams ?
worty [1.4K]

Water travels through long, thin tubes running up from the roots through the stems and leaves called xylem.Water moves up the xylem through a process called capillary action.

Capillary action allows water to be pulled through the thin tubes because the molecules of the water are attracted to the molecules that make up the tube. The water molecules at the top are pulled up the tube and the water molecules below them are pulled along because of their attraction to the water molecules above them.
