Since the elevator is moving with a constant speed and not accelerating, the tension in the string is simply the normal, routine, everyday boring weight of the object.  Since the elevator is moving with a constant speed and not accelerating, the tension in the string is simply the normal, routine, everyday boring weight of the object.

Answer:

As elevator has no acceleration as it is moving upward with constant speed as states in the problems.Using equilibrium equation

∑Fy=0

T-W=0

T=W of object in the elevator.

2. An 873 kg dragster accelerates at a rate of 44.6 m/s during a race.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

<h3>38,673.9N</h3>

Explanation:

According to newton's second law:

Force = mass * acceleration

Given

Mass = 873kg

acceleration = 44.66m/s²

Magnitude of the force is expressed as;

F = ma

F = 873 * 44.6

F = 38,673.9N

<em>Hence the magnitude of the net force exerted on the dragster during this time is 38,673.9N</em>

A block of mass 8 m can move without friction
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Let M1 = 8 kg and M2 = 34 kg

F = M a = (M1 + M2) a

F = M2 g     the net force accelerating the system

M2 g = (M1 + M2) a

a = M2 / (M1 + M2) g = 34 / (42) g = .81 g = 7.9 m/s^2

spotlight on a boat is 2.5 m above the water, and the light strikes the water at a point that is 8.0 m horizontally displaced fr
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let i be the angle of incidence and r be the angle of refraction .

From the figure

Tan ( 90 - i ) = 2.5 / 8

cot i = 2.5 / 8

Tan i = 8 / 2.5 = 3.2

i = 72.65°

From snell's law

sini / sin r = refractive index

sin 72.65 / sinr = 1.333

sin r = .9545  / 1.333

= .72

r = 46⁰

From the figure

Tan r  = d / 4

Tan 46 = d /4

d = 4 x Tan 46

= 4 x 1.0355

=4.14 m .

Explain how the potential energy of two charged particles depends on the distance between the charged particles and on the magni
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

According to Coulomb's Law, the potential energy of two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the distance between the charges

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's Law, the potential energy of two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the distance between the charges.  Since the potential energy  of two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges, its magnitude increases as the charges of the particles increases. For like charges, the potential energy is positive(the product of the two alike charges must be positive) and since potential energy is inversely proportional to the distance between the charges therefore it decreases as the particles get farther apart . For opposite charges, the potential energy is negative(the product of the two opposite charges must be negative) and since potential energy is inversely proportional to the distance between the two charges, it becomes more negative as the particles get closer together.
