Yes for an object moving on a horizontal plane, R = mg (where mg = weight). therefore, for an object moving on a horizontal plane: F = μmg
Answer:
10.23m/s^2
Explanation:
GIven data
mass of elevator = 2125 kg
Force= 21,750 N
Required
The maximum acceleration upward
F= ma
a= F/m
a=21,750/2125
a= 10.23m/s^2
Hence the acceleration is 10.23m/s^2
Answer:
x = 5.79 m
Explanation:
given,
mass of the car = 39000 Kg
spring constant = 5.7 x 10⁵ N/m
acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
height of the track = 25 m
length of spring compressed = ?
using conservation of energy
potential energy is converted into spring energy




x = 5.79 m
the spring is compressed to x = 5.79 m to stop the car.
