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

A charged particle is moving perpendicular to a magnetic field in a circle with a radius r. An identical charge particle enters
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

<em>The second particle will move through the field with a radius greater that the radius of the first particle</em>

Explanation:

For a charged particle, the force on the particle is given as

F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

also recall that work is force times the distance traveled

work = F x d

so, the work on the particle = F x d,

where the distance traveled by the particle in one revolution = 2\pi r

Work on a particle = 2πrF = 2\pi mv^{2}

This work is proportional to the energy of the particle.

And the work is also proportional to the radius of travel of the particles.

Since the second particle has a bigger speed v, when compared to the speed of the first particle, then, the the second particle has more energy, and thus will move through the field with a radius greater that the radius of the first particle.

What is the physical representation of the area under a force versus extension or compression curve?
lidiya [134]

The compression curve would be theoretically given for a system of bodies in which the spring applies the force (Although in the same way the following process can be extrapolated to any system, depending on the type of Force to consider) For a spring mass system, the strength is given by Hooke's law as

F = Kx

Where,

K  = Spring constant

x = Displacement

If we integrate based on distance we would have

\int F = \int K x dx

This integral represents the area under the Force Curve based on each distance segment traveled.

\int F = K \int xdx

\int F = K (\frac{1}{2} x^2)

\int F = \frac{1}{2} Kx^2

This is the same formula that represents the elastic potential energy of a body. Therefore the correct answer is D.
