<u>Given</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u>

  • Velocity (v) = 12.1 m/s
  • Time (t) = 8.2 sec

★ Acceleration = velocity/ time

→ A = 12.1/8.2

→ 1.47.... m/s²

A 975-kg elevator accelerates upward at 0.754 m/s2, pulled by a cable of negligible mass. Find the tension force in the cable.
Zina [86]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts of equilibrium and Newton's second law.

According to the description given, it is under constant ascending acceleration, and the balance of the forces corresponding to the tension of the rope and the weight of the elevator must be equal to said acceleration. So

\sum F = ma

T-mg = ma

Here,

T = Tension

m = Mass

g = Gravitational Acceleration

a = Acceleration (upward)

Rearranging to find T,

T = m(g+a)

T = (975)(9.8+0.754)

T= 10290.15N

Therefore the tension force in the cable is 10290.15N

A rocket is moving at 1/4 the speed of light relative to Earth. At the center of this rocket a light suddenly flashes. To an obs
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

B. the light will reach the front of the rocket at the same instant that it reaches the back of the rocket.

Explanation:

To an observer at rest in the rocket who can't see either sides of the rocket, the speed of the light is constant which means the distance to the front or the back is same and would appear to reach the rocket at the same time.

Although from the point of view of the person on the earth, the front of the rocket is travelling in opposite direction of the light while the back of the rocket is moving closer to the light. This means that the distance travelled by the light going forward will be longer going backwards. And since the speed of light is constant in both directions, the light will reach the back of the rocket before it reaches the front  for the observer on the earth.

Bats use a process called echolocation to find their food. This involves giving out sound waves that hit possible prey or food.
cupoosta [38]
The type of waves used by bats are sound waves. Most of the species use their larynx to produce ultrasound waves in the frequency range of 20 to 200 kilohertz.
These sound waves are echoed, reflected, by surroundings, in this case food or prey. These reflections are received by the specialized receptor cells in the ears of bats. The reflections are analyzed by the brain to make an image.
Fun fact: The brain cells of bats are also specialized to better analyze the frequency of ultrasound used by the bat.

A car travels up a hill at a constant speed of 38 km/h and returns down the hill at a constant speed of 66 km/h. Calculate the a
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Average speed will be 48.23 km/h

Explanation:

Let the distance up to hill is = d km

Speed when car goes to hill = 38 km/h

So time required t=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{d}{38}hour

Speed when car return from hill = 66 km/h

So time required to return fro hill t=\frac{d}{66}h

Total time t_{total}=\frac{t}{38}+\frac{t}{66}

Total distance = d+d =2d

So average speed=\frac{total\ distance}{total\ time}=\frac{2d}{\frac{d}{38}+\frac{d}{66}}=48.23km/h
