Elizabeth, with a mass of 56.1kg stands on a scale in an elevator. Total mass of elevator plus Elizabeth=850kg. As the elevator

starts moving, the scale reads 450N. Find the acceleration and tension in the cable.

Answer:

acceleration = 1.79 m/s^2

Tension = 6817 N

Explanation:

First let's find Elizabeth's weight:

P = m*g = 56.1 * 9.81 =  550.34\ N

Her weight is greater than the normal force (N = 450 N), so the elevator is going downwards.

The acceleration of Elizabeth is given by:

P - N = m*a

Where P is the weight of Elisabeth, N is her normal force, m is her mass and a is the acceleration. Then, we have that:

56.1*9.81 - 450 = 56.1*a

a = 100.34 / 56.1 = 1.79\ m/s^2

The tension in the cable is given by:

P - T = m*a

In this case, we use the total mass, so we have:

850*9.81 - T = 850*1.79

T = 850 * 8.02 = 6817\ N

Answer:

In the previous section, we defined circular motion. The simplest case of circular motion is uniform circular motion, where an object travels a circular path at a constant speed. Note that, unlike speed, the linear velocity of an object in circular motion is constantly changing because it is always changing direction. We know from kinematics that acceleration is a change in velocity, either in magnitude or in direction or both. Therefore, an object undergoing uniform circular motion is always accelerating, even though the magnitude of its velocity is constant.

You experience this acceleration yourself every time you ride in a car while it turns a corner. If you hold the steering wheel steady during the turn and move at a constant speed, you are executing uniform circular motion. What you notice is a feeling of sliding (or being flung, depending on the speed) away from the center of the turn. This isn’t an actual force that is acting on you—it only happens because your body wants to continue moving in a straight line (as per Newton’s first law) whereas the car is turning off this straight-line path. Inside the car it appears as if you are forced away from the center of the turn. This fictitious force is known as the centrifugal force. The sharper the curve and the greater your speed, the more noticeable this effect becomes.

Figure 6.7 shows an object moving in a circular path at constant speed. The direction of the instantaneous tangential velocity is shown at two points along the path. Acceleration is in the direction of the change in velocity; in this case it points roughly toward the center of rotation. (The center of rotation is at the center of the circular path). If we imagine Δs becoming smaller and smaller, then the acceleration would point exactly toward the center of rotation, but this case is hard to draw. We call the acceleration of an object moving in uniform circular motion the centripetal acceleration ac because centripetal means center seeking.

hope it helps! stay safe and tell me if im wrong pls :D

(brainliest if you want, or if its right pls) :)

A 2 m tall, 0.5 m inside diameter tank is filled with water. A 10 cm hole is opened 0.75 m from the bottom of the tank. What is
valina [46]

Answer:

4.75 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the velocity of the existing water is shown below:

Data provided in the question

Tall = 2 m

Inside diameter tank = 2m

Hole opened = 10 cm

Bottom of the tank = 0.75 m

Based on the above information, first we have to determine the height which is

= 2 - 0.75 - 0.10

= 2 - 0.85

= 1.15 m

We assume the following things

1. Compressible flow

2. Stream line followed

Now applied the Bernoulli equation to section 1 and 2

So we get

\frac{P_1}{p_g} + \frac{v_1^2}{2g} + z_1 = \frac{P_2}{p_g} + \frac{v_2^2}{2g} + z_2

where,

P_1 = P_2 = hydrostatic

z_1 = 0

z_2 = h

Now

\frac{v_1^2}{2g} + 0 = \frac{v_2^2}{2g} + h\\\\V_2 < < V_1 or V_2 = 0\\\\Therefore\  \frac{v_1^2}{2g} = h\\\\v_1^2 = 2gh\\\\ v_1 = \sqrt{2gh} \\\\v_1 = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 1.15}

= 4.7476 m/sec

= 4.75 m/s

How is light described?
Lelu [443]

Light as a wave: Light can be described (modeled) as an electromagnetic wave. ... This changing magnetic field then creates a changing electric field and BOOM - you have light. Unlike many other waves (sound, water waves, waves in a football stadium), light does not need a medium to “wave” in.
