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

On earth, what is a child’s mass if the force of gravity on the child’s body is 100 N
ikadub [295]

Answer: 10.2 kg if g = 9.8, 10 if g = 10.

Explanation:

Weight or the "force of gravity" on a person is simply defined by the equation: F = ma. In this case, the acceleration is g, which is 9.8 but can be rounded up to 10. Based on this, we have:

F = mg

100 = m*9.8

m = 10.2(or 10 if we set g to 10).

A Texas cockroach of mass 0.117 kg runs counterclockwise around the rim of a lazy Susan (a circular disk mounted on a vertical a
kozerog [31]

Answer

given,

mass of cockroach = 0.117 Kg

radius = 17.3 cm

rotational inertia = 5.20 x 10⁻³ Kg.m²

speed of cockroach = 1.91 m/s

angular velocity of Susan (ω₀)= 2.87 rad/s

final speed of cockroach = 0 m/s

Initial angular velocity of Susan

L_s = I ω₀

L_s = 5.20 x 10⁻³ x 2.87

L_s=0.015 kg.m²/s

initial angular momentum of the cockroach

L_c = - mvr

L_c = - 0.117 x 1.91 x 0.173

L_c = - 0.0387 kg.m²/s

total angular momentum of Both

L = 0.015 - 0.0387

L = - 0.0237 kg.m²/s

after cockroach stop inertia becomes

I_f = I + mr^2

I_f = 5.20 x 10⁻³+ 0.117 x 0.173^2

I_f = 8.7  x 10⁻³ kg.m²/s

final angular momentum of the disk

L_f = I_f ω_f

L_f = 8.7  x 10⁻³ x ω_f

using conservation of momentum

L_i = L_f

-0.0237 =8.7  x 10⁻³ x ω_f

\omega_f = \dfrac{-0.0237}{8.7 \times 10^{-3}}

\omega_f = -2.72\ rad/s

angular speed of Susan is \omega_f = -2.72\ rad/s

The value is negative because it is in the opposite direction of cockroach.

|\omega_f |= 2.72\ rad/s

b) the mechanical energy is not conserved because cockroach stopped in between.
