An elevator and its load have a combined mass of 1650 kg. Find the tension in the supporting cable when the elevator, originally

moving downward at 11 m/s, is brought to rest with constant acceleration in a distance of 41 m.

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

A baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg. What’s the baseballs velocity?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

<em>v=40 m/s south</em>

Explanation:

<u>Momentum </u>

It's a physical magnitude that measures the product of the mass by the velocity of a particle. Its units in the International System is kg.m/s and the formula is

p=m.v

Where m is the mass and v the velocity of the particle. If we wanted to solve for v, we have

\displaystyle v=\frac{p}{m}

The baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg, thus

\displaystyle v=\frac{6}{0.15}=40\ m/s

The velocity is directed to the south

In the steady state 1.2 ✕ 1018 electrons per second enter bulb 1. There are 6.3 ✕ 1028 mobile electrons per cubic meter in tungs
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

E=12.2V/m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must address the concepts of drift velocity. A drift velocity is the average velocity attained by charged particles, such as electrons, in a material due to an electric field.

The equation is given by,

V=\frac{I}{nAq}

Where,

V= Drift Velocity

I= Flow of current

n= number of electrons

q = charge of electron

A = cross-section area.

For this problem we know that there is a rate of 1.8*10^{18} electrons per second, that is

\frac{I}{q} = 1.2*10^{18}

A= 1.3*10^{-8}m^2

n=6.3*10^{28} e/m^3

\omicron{O} = 1.2*10^{-4}(m/s)(N/c) Mobility

We can find the drift velocity replacing,

V = \frac{1.2*10^{18}}{(1.3*10^{-8})(6.3*10^{28})}

V= 1.465*10^-3m/s

The electric field is given by,

E= \frac{V}{\omicron{O}}

E=\frac{1.465*10^-3}{1.2*10^{-4}}

E=12.2V/m
