Answer:

Tension in the supporting cable is = 4,866 N ≅4.9 KN

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand that tension is a force, so the motion law

F = Ma applies perfectly.

From Newtons third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite. This means that the force experienced by the elevator, is equal to the tension experienced by the spring.

Parameters given:

Mass of load = 1650 kg

Acceleration of load = ?

The acceleration of the load can be obtained by diving the change in velocity by the time taken. But we need to know the time taken for the motion to 41 m.

Time taken = distance covered / velocity

= \frac{41m}{11m/s} = 3.73 seconds

∴Acceleration = ( initial velocity - final velocity )/ time taken

Note: Final velocity is = 0 since the body came to a rest.

Acceleration = \frac{11 - 0 m/s}{3.73s} = 2.95m/s^{2}

Force acting on the cable = mass of elevator × acceleration of elevator

= 1650 × 2.95 = 4869.5 kg ≅ 4.9 KN

This is simply F=ma so 70N/30m/s^2 will give you the max mass which would be in kg, and the mass would be 2.333333kg a very light plane I might say

How many times should the power develop by the engine of a ship increases to double is velocity i the resistance of the water to
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

If the ship speed is doubled, then the power developed is 8 times the initial value.

Explanation:

ship power is roughly proportional to the cube of the speed, so

P ∝ v³

If the speed is doubled, then the power developed becomes

P  ∝ (2)³ = 8 times

Therefore, if the ship speed is doubled, then the power developed is 8 times the initial value.

A charge -353e is uniformly distributed along a circular arc of radius 5.30 cm, which subtends an angle of 48°. What is the line
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

- 1.3 x 10⁻¹⁵ C/m

Explanation:

Q = Total charge on the circular arc = - 353 e = - 353 (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) C = - 564.8 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

r = Radius of the arc = 5.30 cm = 0.053 m

θ = Angle subtended by the arc = 48° deg = 48 x 0.0175 rad = 0.84 rad        (Since 1 deg = 0.0175 rad)

L = length of the arc

length of the arc is given as

L = r θ

L = (0.053) (0.84)

L = 0.045 m

λ = Linear charge density

Linear charge density is given as

\lambda =\frac{Q}{L}

Inserting the values

\lambda =\frac{-564.8\times 10^{-19}}{0.045}

λ = - 1.3 x 10⁻¹⁵ C/m

Why must the Moon travel more than a full orbit around the Earth for the full moon to be complete?
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The difference between the sidereal and synodic months occurs becuase as our moon moves around the earth, the earth also moves around our sun. Our moon must travel a little farther in its path to make up for the added distance and complete the phase cycle.

Explanation:

Hope this helps.

In the design of a rapid transit system, it is necessary to balance the average speed of a train against the distance between st
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

a) t = 746 s

b) t = 666 s

Explanation:

a)

  • Total time will be the sum of the partial times between stations plus the time stopped at the stations.
  • Due to the distance between stations is the same, and the time between stations must be the same (Because the train starts from rest in each station) we can find total time, finding the time for any of the distance between two stations, and then multiply it times the number of distances.
  • At any station, the train starts from rest, and then accelerates at 1.1m/s2 till it reaches to a speed of 95 km/h.
  • In order to simplify things, let's first to convert this speed from km/h to m/s, as follows:

       v_{1} = 95 km/h *\frac{1h}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1 km} = 26.4 m/s  (1)

  • Applying the definition of acceleration, we can find the time traveled by the train before reaching to this speed, as follows:

       t_{1} = \frac{v_{1} }{a_{1} } = \frac{26.4m/s}{1.1m/s2} = 24 s (2)

  • Next, we can find the distance traveled during this time, assuming that the acceleration is constant, using the following kinematic equation:

       x_{1} = \frac{1}{2} *a_{1} *t_{1} ^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 1.1m/s2*(24s)^{2} = 316.8 m  (3)

  • In the same way, we can find the time needed to reach to a complete stop at the next station, applying the definition of acceleration, as follows:

       t_{3} = \frac{-v_{1} }{a_{2} } = \frac{-26.4m/s}{-2.2m/s2} = 12 s (4)

  • We can find the distance traveled while the train was decelerating as follows:

       x_{3} = (v_{1} * t_{3})   + \frac{1}{2} *a_{2} *t_{3} ^{2} \\ = (26.4m/s*12s) - \frac{1}{2} * 2.2m/s2*(12s)^{2} = 316.8 m - 158.4 m = 158.4m  (5)

  • Finally, we need to know the time traveled at constant speed.
  • So, we need to find first the distance traveled at the constant speed of 26.4m/s.
  • This distance is just the total distance between stations (3.0 km) minus the distance used for acceleration (x₁) and the distance for deceleration (x₃), as follows:
  • x₂ = L - (x₁+x₃) = 3000 m - (316.8 m + 158.4 m) = 2525 m (6)
  • The time traveled at constant speed (t₂), can be found from the definition of average velocity, as follows:

       t_{2} = \frac{x_{2} }{v_{1} } = \frac{2525m}{26.4m/s} = 95.6 s   (7)

  • Total time between two stations is simply the sum of the three times we have just found:
  • t = t₁ +t₂+t₃ = 24 s + 95.6 s + 12 s = 131.6 s (8)
  • Due to we have six stations (including those at the ends) the total time traveled while the train was moving, is just t times 5, as follows:
  • tm = t*5 = 131.6 * 5 = 658.2 s (9)
  • Since we know that the train was stopped at each intermediate station for 22s, and we have 4 intermediate stops, we need to add to total time 22s * 4 = 88 s, as follows:
  • Ttotal = tm + 88 s = 658.2 s + 88 s = 746 s (10)

b)

  • Using all the same premises that for a) we know that the only  difference, in order to find the time between stations, will be due to the time traveled at constant speed, because the distance traveled at a constant speed will be different.
  • Since t₁ and t₃ will be the same, x₁ and x₃, will be the same too.
  • We can find the distance traveled at constant speed, rewriting (6) as follows:
  • x₂ = L - (x₁+x₃) = 5000 m - (316.8 m + 158.4 m) = 4525 m (11)
  • The time traveled at constant speed (t₂), can be found from the definition of average velocity, as follows:

       t_{2} = \frac{x_{2} }{v_{1} } = \frac{4525m}{26.4m/s} = 171.4 s   (12)

  • Total time between two stations is simply the sum of the three times we have just found:
  • t = t₁ +t₂+t₃ = 24 s + 171.4 s + 12 s = 207.4 s (13)
  • Due to we have four stations (including those at the ends) the total time traveled while the train was moving, is just t times 3, as follows:
  • tm = t*3 = 207.4 * 3 = 622.2 s (14)
  • Since we know that the train was stopped at each intermediate station for 22s, and we have 2 intermediate stops, we need to add to total time 22s * 2 = 44 s, as follows:
  • Ttotal = tm + 44 s = 622.2 s + 44 s = 666 s (15)
