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

Fossils are rare because certain conditions are needed to preserve an organism in order for it to fossilize, and those condition
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The least of the conditions that can result in fossilization would be <u>when an organism is a prey to several species.</u>

Fossils are remains or traces of organisms that have been geological preserved and a prey is an organism that is often hunted and serves as food to bigger organisms. <em>When an organism is eaten, the probability of it becoming a fossil becomes low. Unless such an organism is usually partially eaten by predators, there would not be any remains, let alone being fossilized.</em>

The correct option is D.

A circular pizza into 3 equal parts, one piece of pizza is taken out. Estimate the degree measure of the single piece of pizza a
seropon [69]

Answer:

A circular pizza has a angle of 360 degrees. When you cut it into 3 equal pieces you divide 360 by 3,you get 120 degrees. And following the conversion of 120 degree into radian you get 2pie/3 radians.

The thrust from a car is 2000 N. The air resistance and friction together total 680 N. What happens to the speed of the car?
zheka24 [161]
The car will speed up because if the air resistance and friction forces are reacting in the direction opposite to the Applied force, The Net force will still be in the direction of the car's motion and since F=ma a will cause your velocity to increase

A jet travels 2250 km westward at a speed of 960 km/hr. it then encounters a strong headwind and its speed drops to 805 km/hr fo
Kipish [7]
For the first part of the trip:
we have velocity = 960 km/hr and distance = 2250 km
velocity = distance / time
time1 = distance / velocity = 2250 / 960 = 2.34375 hours

For the second part of the trip:
we have velocity = 805 km/hr and distance = 1320 km
velocity = distance / time
time2 = distance / velocity = 1320 / 805 = 1.63975 hours

For the total trip:
we have:
total distance covered = 2250 + 1320 = 3570 km
total time taken = 2.34375 + 1.63975 = 3.9835 hours
average velocity = total distance / total time
average velocity = 3570 / 3.9835 = 896.1968 km/hr
