Answer:
Explanation:
The equation for this, since we are talking about weight on an elevator, is Newton's 2nd Law adjusted to fit our needs:
where the Normal Force needed to lift that elevator car is the tension. So the equation then becomes
T = ma + w where T is the tension in the cable to lift the elevator, m is the mass of the elevator (which we have to solve for), a is the acceleration of the elevator (positive since it's going up), and w is the weight of the elevator (which we have as 5500 N). Solving first for mass:
w = mg and
5500 =- m(10) so
m = 550 kg. Now we have what we need to solve for the tension:
T = 550(4.0) + 5500 and
T = 2200 + 5500 so
T = 7700 N
Answer:
<em>The velocity of the carts after the event is 1 m/s</em>
Explanation:
<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum
</u>
The total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and speed v is
P=mv.
If we have a system of bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of the individual momentums:
If a collision occurs and the velocities change to v', the final momentum is:
Since the total momentum is conserved, then:
P = P'
In a system of two masses, the equation simplifies to:
If both masses stick together after the collision at a common speed v', then:
The common velocity after this situation is:
The m1=2 kg cart is moving to the right at v1=5 m/s. It collides with an m2= 8 kg cart at rest (v2=0). Knowing they stick together after the collision, the common speed is:
The velocity of the carts after the event is 1 m/s
Answer:
615 J
Explanation:
internal energy (U) = 504 J
heat lost (q) = 111 J = - 111 J (negative sign is because heat is lost)
work done = 222 J
what is the final energy in the system
total energy = final energy - initial energy
final energy = total energy + initial energy
where
initial energy = 504 J
total energy = 222 - 111 = 111 J
final energy = 504 + 111 = 615 J
I think that the downstairs would be faster because the water wouldn't have to go all the way up which make it slower
