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

Alik [6]
<span>Brass is an <u>alloy</u>. An alloy is a mixture of elements to form a unique material. Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc and the percentage of each element depends on the desired material. It has a higher malleability than bronze or zinc. Meaning that it can be bend easily into it desired form.</span>

If the kinetic energy of an electron is 4.1e-18 j, what is the speed of the electron? (you can use the approximate (nonrelativis
arlik [135]
The kinetic energy of the electron is
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m=9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg is the mass of the electron and v its speed. Since we know the value of the kinetic energy, K=4.1 \cdot 10^{-18} J, we can find the value of the speed v:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2\cdot 4.1 \cdot 10^{-18}J}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg} }  = 3\cdot 10^6 m/s

Why construction is present near the bulb ​
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The constriction causes the mercury column to break under tension, leaving a vacuum between the bottom of the column and that in the bulb, and the top of the column stays still at the position reached in the body - a "peak hold" system.
