What is the force on a 1,000 kilogram-elevator that is falling freely under the acceleration of gravity only?

1 answer:

8 0

   Force = (mass) · (acceleration)

   = (1,000 kg) · (9.8 m/s²)

   = 9,800 newtons

Why are you still having a problem with F = M · a ?

Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur along continent and ocean boundaries?

jeyben [28]

Earths plates move, creating them to rub together to create earthquakes, and volcanoes occur because magma melts rocks and the pressure is so intense it causes the lava to leak out of the top of a mountain

Two boxes on opposite ends of a massless board that is 3.0 m long. The board is supported in the middle by a fulcrum. The box on

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

b. 1.1 m

Explanation:

It is given that the total distance between the masses is equal to the length of the board, which is 3 m. Therefore,

$s_{1} + s_{2} = 3\ m\\\\s_{2} = 3\ m - s_{1}\ --------- eqn(1)$

where,

s₁ = distance of fulcrum from left mass

s₂ = distance of fulcrum from right mass

In order to achieve balance, the torque due to both masses must be equal:

$T_{1} = T_{2}\\m_{1}s_{1} = m_{2}s_{2}\\(25\ kg)(s_{1}) = (15\ kg)(s_{2})\\\\\frac{15\ kg}{25\ kg}(s_{2}) = s_{1}\\\\using\ eqn(1):\\(0.6)(3\ m - s_{1}) = s_{1}\\1.8\ m = 1.6\ s_{1}\\s_{1} = \frac{1.8\ m}{1.6}$

s₁ = 1.1 m

Hence, the correct option is:

What information and measurements would you need to calculate the rate of movement?

aliina [53]

When you talk about rate, you will expect that it will be in terms of a time unit. It measures how fast it is going. So, you would expect that the denominator is in time units. For the movement, you can measure this with either distance or velocity.

So, for the first variety, you would need distance and time to measure the rate of how far you go at a certain time. It is also called as velocity. For the second variety, you would need velocity and time to measure the rate of how fast you are going at a certain interval. It is also called as acceleration.

Sam drives her scooter 7 kilometres north. She stops for lunch and then drives

Talja [164]

Answer:

1. Distance travelled = 12 km.

2. Displacement = 8.6 km

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Distance 1 (d₁) = 7 km

Distance 2 (d₂) = 5 km

Total distance =?

Displacement =?

1. Determination of the distance travelled.

Distance 1 (d₁) = 7 km

Distance 2 (d₂) = 5 km

Total distance (dₜ) =?

dₜ = d₁ + d₂

dₜ = 7 + 5

dₜ = 12 km

2. Determination of the displacement.

In the attached photo, R is the displacement.

We can obtain the value of R by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated below:

R² = 7² + 5²

R² = 49 + 25

R² = 74

Take the square root of both side

R = √74

R = 8.6 km

________ In many cartoon shows, a character runs off a cliff, realizes his predicament, and lets out a scream. He continues to s

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Here the source is moving away from the observer so frequency will be smaller than the actual frequency and since the speed is increasing so the frequency is decreasing with time so correct answer is

D) lower than the original pitch and decreasing as he falls.

Explanation:

As we know by the Doppler's effect of sound we have

so we will have

$f = f_o(\frac{v}{v + v_s})$

so here when source moves away from the observer with a some speed then the frequency of the sound observed by the observer is smaller than the actual frequency

Here we know that the speed of the source is increasing with time as the source is falling under gravity

So we can say that the pitch of the sound will decrease with time
