A block of mass = 4.00 kg is supported by a spring scale with unit of measure of Newtons. This spring scale is attached to top o

f an elevator. The elevator accelerates upward with a = 3.00 m/sec2. What is the reading on the spring scale to 3 significant figures?

Answer:

118 N

Explanation:

Given mass of the block, m = 4.00kg.

The acceleration of the elevator, a = 3.0 m/s^2.

As elevotar attaced with spring scale and accelerating upward

(block and elevator), so total force

F_N-mg=ma

Here, mg is the weight of the block downward direction.

or

F_N=ma+mg=m(g+a)

substitute the given value, we get

F_N=4kg(9.8m/s^2+3m/s^2)

     = 117.6 N = 118 N.

Thus, the reading on the spring scale to 3 significant figures is 118 N.

What is the difference between light energy and heat energy​
MrRissso [65]

ANSWER:

What is the difference between heat and light? - Physics Stack ... Heat and light are different but they are both forms of energy. Heat is a form of kinetic energy contained in the random motion of the particles of a material. Light is a form of electromagnetic energy. As with other forms of energy, heat energy can be transformed into light energy and vice versa.

Modern wind turbines generate electricity from wind power. The large, massive blades have a large moment of inertia and carry a
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Each blade is in the form of rod with axis near one end of the rod

Moment of inertia of one blade

= 1/3 x m l²

where m is mass of the blade

l is length of each blade.

Total moment of moment of 3 blades

= 3 x\frac{1}{3}  x m l²

ml²

2 )

Given

m = 5500 kg

l = 45 m

Putting these values we get

moment of inertia of one blade

= 1/3 x 5500 x 45 x 45

= 37.125 x 10⁵ kg.m²

Moment of inertia of 3 blades

= 3 x 37.125 x 10⁵ kg.m²

= 111 .375 x 10⁵ kg.m²

c )

Angular momentum

= I x ω

I is moment of inertia of turbine

ω is angular velocity

ω = 2π f

f is frequency of rotation of blade

d )

I = 111 .375 x 10⁵ kg.m² ( Calculated )

f = 11 rpm ( revolution per minute )

= 11 / 60 revolution per second

ω = 2π f

=  2π  x  11 / 60 rad / s

Angular momentum

= I x ω

111 .375 x 10⁵ kg.m² x  2π  x  11 / 60 rad / s

= 128.23 x 10⁵  kgm² s⁻¹ .

The United States spends over $20 billion a year on space exploration through NASA. Do you think that this has been worth the co
-BARSIC- [3]

Sunday, July 20, marked 45 years since the United States put the first two astronauts safely on the moon. The cost for the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs was more than $25 billion at the time more like $110 billion in today’s world. The ensuing U.S. space efforts have cost an additional $196 billion for the shuttle and $50 billion for the space station. NASA’s total inflation-adjusted costs have been more than $900 billion since its creation in 1958 through 2014 (more than $16 billion per year). Looking back, have we gotten our money’s worth from the investment?
