A fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of 1250 kg, which is required to travel upward 49 m in

3.1 min, starting and ending at rest. The elevator's counterweight has a mass of only 995 kg, and so the elevator motor must help. What average power is required of the force the motor exerts on the cab via the cable?

Answer:

659.01W

Explanation:

The cab has a mass of 1250 kg, the weight of the cab represented by Wc will be

Wc = mass of the cab × acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Wc = 1250 × 9.81 = 12262.5 N

but the counter weight of the elevator represented by We = mass × acceleration due to gravity = 995 × 9.81 = 9760.95 N

Net weight = weight of the cab - counter weight of the elevator = Wc - We = 12262.5 - 9760.95 = 2501.55 N

the motor of the elevator will have to provide this in form of work

work done by the elevator to lift the cab to height of 49 m = net weight × distance (height) = 2501.55 × 49m

power provided by the motor of the elevator = workdone by the motor / time in seconds

Power = (2501.55 × 49) ÷ ( 3.1 × 60 seconds) = 659.01 W

What did Thomson’s model of the atom include that Dalton’s model did not have?
astraxan [27]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Dalton's model of atom states that every matter is made up of atoms and these atoms are indivisible in nature.

On the other hand, Thomson's model of atom states that there are small particles present in an atom that has positive or negative charges.

Thomson's model of atom is also known as plum pudding model where negatively charged particles are represented by plum and positively charged particles are represented by pudding.

Thus, we can conclude that Thomson’s model of the atom include smaller particles that Dalton’s model did not have.

When a force is applied to an object for an amount of time, it is known as __________.
NikAS [45]

The correct answer to the question is : D) Impulse

EXPLANATION:

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand impulse.

Impulse of a body is defined as change in momentum or the product of force with time.

Mathematically impulse = F × t = m ( v - u ).

Here, v is the final velocity

          u is the initial velocity

          F is the force acting on the body for time t.

Hence, the perfect answer of this question is impulse m i.e the force multiplied with time is known as impulse.

Why is it not advisable to touch a canvas tent from inside when it is raining?​
Sauron [17]

Answer: When you touch wet canvas, surface tension will draw water to your finger. However, the drop left behind where you touched, like any irregular point on an overhead surface, will draw condensation from inside the tent if it is humid.
