An elevator cable breaks when a 925-kg elevator is 28.5 m above the top of a huge spring Ak = 8.00 * 104 N????mB at the bottom o

f the shaft. Calculate (a) the work done by gravity on the elevator before it hits the spring; (b) the speed of the elevator just before striking the spring; (c) the amount the spring compresses (note that here work is done by both the spring and gravity).

Answer:

a) The work done by gravity on the elevator is 258352.5 J

b) The speed of the elevator just before striking the spring is 23.63 m/s

c) The amount the spring compresses is 2.7 m

Explanation:

a) The work is equal to:

W=Fdcos\theta \\W=mgdcos\theta

Where

m = 925 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

d = 28.5 m

θ = 0°

Replacing:

W=925*9.8*28.5*cos0=258352.5J

b) The work done by gravity on the elevator is equal to the change of kinetic energy:

W = ΔEk

W=\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} -0

The velocity is:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2W}{m} } =\sqrt{\frac{2*258352.5}{925} } =23.63m/s

c) The total work is equal to the sum to of the change of kinetic energy and the spring:

W_{g} +W_{spring} =0\\\frac{k}{2} x^{2} -(mg)x-mgd=0\\x=\frac{mg+-\sqrt{m^{2} g^{2}+2kmgd } }{k}

Replacing:

x=\frac{925*9.8+-\sqrt{925^{2}*9.8^{2}+(2*8x10^{4}*925*9.8*28.5)   } }{8x10^{4} } =2.7m

Answer:

a) = 258352.5J

b) = 23.63 m/s

c) = 1.8m

Explanation:

Data;

Mass = 925kg

Distance (s) = 28.5m

Force constant (k) = 8.0*10⁴ N/m

g = 9.8 m/s²

a) = work = force * distance

But force = mass * acceleration

Force = 925 * 9.8 = 9065N

Work = F * s = 9065 * 28.5 = 258352.5J

b) acceleration (a) = (v² - u²) / 2s

a = v² / 2s

v² = a * 2s

v² = 9.8 * (2 * 28.5)

v² = 9.8 * 57

v² = 558.6

v = √(558.6)

V = 23.63 m/s

C). The work stops when the work done to raise the spring equals the work done to stop it by the spring

W = ½kx²

258352.5 = ½ * 8.0*10⁴ * x²

(2 * 258352.5) = 8.0*10⁴x²

516705 = 8.0*10⁴x²

X² = 516705 / 8.0*10⁴

X² = 6.46

X = √(6.46)

X = 2.54m

The compression was about 2.54m

How does the molecular structure of a water molecule affect its polarity?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The polarity of water molecules means that molecules of water will stick to each other like when unlike charges attracts. This is called hydrogen bonding.

Polarity makes water a good solvent, gives it the ability to stick to itself (cohesion), stick to other substances (adhesion), and have surface tension (due to hydrogen bonding).

When the two hydrogen atoms bond with the oxygen, they attach to the top of the molecule. This molecular structure gives the water molecule polarity, or a lopsided electrical charge that attracts other atoms. The end of the molecule with the two hydrogen atoms is positively charged.

A rocket for use in deep space is to have the capability of boosting a total load (payload plus the rocket frame and engine) of
choli [55]

Answer:

<em>13.54 tons</em>

Explanation:

Let f be the amount of fuel oxidizer needed

v be the speed

The relationship between them is inverse in nature i.e

f ∝ 1/v

f = k/v

If a rocket for use in deep space is to have the capability of boosting a total load (payload plus the rocket frame and engine) of 3.25 metric tons to a speed of 10,000 m/s, then f = 3.25 when v  = 10,000

Substitute and get k

k = fv

k = 3.25 * 10,000

k = 32500

To get the amount of fuel oxidizer required to produce a speed of 2400m/s, we will find f when v = 2400m/s

Recall that f = k/v

f = 32500/2400

f = 13.54 metric tons

<em>Hence the fuel plus oxidizer that will be required is 13.54 tons</em>
