We simply use the formula,

$velocity =\frac{distance}{time}$

Given, velocity = 4 m per s and distance = 120 m.

Substituting these values, we get

$4\ m/s =\frac{120\ m}{time}\\\\\ time=\frac{120\ m}{4\ m/s} = 30\ s$ .

Thus, required time for the elevator in order to travel 120 m upwards is 30 s.

Three collinear forces,F1=45N west,F2=63N east and an unknown force F3 are applied to an object.The resultant force of the three

Greeley [361]

Take east to be the positive direction. Then the resultant force from adding F₁ and F₂ is

F₁ + F₂ = (-45 N) + 63 N = 18 N

which is positive, so it's directed east.

To this we add a third force F₃ such that the resultant is 12 N pointing west, making it negative, so that

18 N + F₃ = -12 N

F₃ = -30 N

So F₃ has a magnitude of 30 N and points west.

Light with energy equal to three times the work function of a given metal causes the metal to eject photoelectrons. What is the

Mrac [35]

The ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be 3:1.

<h3 /><h3>What is the photoelectric effect?</h3>

When a medium receives electromagnetic radiation, electrostatically charged particles are emitted from or inside it.

The emission of ions from a steel plate when light falls on it is a common definition of the effect. The substance could be a solid, liquid, or gas; and the released particles could be protons or electrons.

A particular metal emits photoelectrons when exposed to light with energy three times its work function:

$\rm KE=3 \phi$

The ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be;

$R=\frac{E}{\phi} \\\\ R=\frac{3 \phi}{\phi} \\\\ R= 3$

Hence, the ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be 3:1.

on aircraft carriers, catapults are used to accelerate jet air craft to flight speeds in a short distance. One such catapult tak

sineoko [7]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)

The jet's change in speed = (70 m/s) - (zero) = 70 m/s

So acceleration = (70 m/s) / (2.5 s)

Acceleration = (70 / 2.5) m/s²

Acceleration = 28 m/s²

That's about 2.9 G's . Jet pilots can endure a lot more than that, but maybe the catapult or the hook on the airplane can't. Let's look a little closer:

F = m A (Newton #2)

The force on the airplane = (18,000 kg) x (28 m/s²)

Force on the airplane = 504,000 Newtons

That's about 113,000 pounds ! Maybe the part of the airplane that the catapult pushes on can't handle any more force than that. Or maybe that's the most force the catapult can deliver.

Also, the REACTION force on the catapult is the same 113,000 pounds. Maybe the hooks or the chains or the struts on the catapult can't handle any more force than that.

That's almost 57 tons for gosh sakes ! Maybe the DECK of the carrier can't handle more force than that, and that's why they can't launch the airplane with acceleration of more than 2.9 G's .
