Answer:![v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2[mgh+fh]}{m}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=v%3D%5Csqrt%7B%5Cdfrac%7B2%5Bmgh%2Bfh%5D%7D%7Bm%7D%7D)
Explanation:

cable breaks and elevator falls a distance h
Friction force f is applied by the clamps
Before it hits the spring velocity of elevator is given by the work energy theorem i.e. work done by all the forces is equal to change in kinetic energy

Where ,

Answer:
A. Time, t = 4.35s
B. Height of its fall, S = 92.72m
Explanation:
Vo = 0 m/s
Vi = 0.46h m/s
S = h m
a = 9.81 m/s2
To calculate the time taken, we need to get the value of the distance, h.
Using the equations of motion,
Vi^2 = Vo^2 + 2aS
Where Vi = final velocity
Vo = initial velocity
a = acceleration due to gravity
S = height of its fall
(0.46h)^2 = 0 + 2*9.81*h
0.2116h^2 = 19.62h
h = 19.62/0.1648
= 92.722 m
To calculate the time,
S = Vo*t +(1/2)*a*t^2
92.772 = 0 + (1/2)*9.81*t^2
t^2 = 185.44/9.81
= 18.904
t = sqrt(18.904)
= 4.348 s
Answer:B
Explanation: an atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
He doesn't lose weight he stays the same weight it's just gravity that changes
