Answer: T is greater

Explanation:

Since the elevator is moving against gravity more work will be done on the rope

T= m(g+a)

Answer:

T is greater when the elevator is accelerating upwards.

Explanation:

The tension in the cable is given by the formula

T = m(g+a)

Taking upwards as positive, when the elevator is accelerating upwards a is positive and and g+a is greater than g

So the tension is greater than the weight mg.

But when the elevator is accelerating downwards the, the acceleration a is negative and g +a in the equation above is less than g and as a result the Tension force T is less than the weight w.

How does SCOTUS view information obtained by private citizens and subsequently shared with law enforcement?
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

as a legal search

Explanation:

In the specific case, there was a trespass on private property through the installation of a global positioning system (GPS) to gather sensitive information about the citizen. This is considered a legal search and is not appropriate to conduct such an investigation without proper approval from the relevant authority.

A mixed cost contains Select one:
-Dominant- [34]

A mixed cost contains a variable element and a fixed element.

Option a

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mixed costs are those costs that has both variable and fixed component. Example: operating cost of a machinery includes fixed costs that cannot be changed with other variable costs like fuel, insurance, depreciation, etc.

It is also named as semi-variable costs. And the formula to calculate mixed cost is as follows,

y=a+b x

where,

  • y is the "total cost "
  • a is the "fixed cost per period"
  • b is the "variable rate per unit of activity"
  • x is the "number of units of activity"

A basketball player grabbing a rebound jumps 76.0 cm vertically. How much total time (ascent and descent) does the player spend.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: Part(a)=0.041 secs, Part(b)=0.041 secs

Explanation: Firstly we assume that only the gravitational acceleration is acting on the basket ball player i.e. there is no air friction

now we know that

a=-9.81 m/s^2  ( negative because it is pulling the player downwards)

we also know that

s=76 cm= 0.76 m ( maximum s)

using kinetic equation

v^2=u^2+2as

where v is final velocity which is zero at max height and u is it initial

hence

u^2=-2(-9.81)*0.76

u=3.8615 m/s\\

now we can find time in the 15 cm ascent

s=ut+0.5at^2

0.15=3.861*t+0.5*9.81t^2\\

using quadratic formula

t=\frac{-3.861+\sqrt{3.86^2-4*0.5*9.81(-0.15)} }{2*0.5*9.81}

t=0.0409 sec

the answer for the part b will be the same

To find the answer for the part b we can find the velocity at 15 cm height similarly using

v^2=u^2+2as

where s=0.76-0.15

as the player has traveled the above distance to reach 15cm to the bottom

v^2=0^2 +2*(9.81)*(0.76-0.15)

v=3.4595

when the player reaches the bottom it has the same velocity with which it started which is 3.861

hence the time required to reach the bottom 15cm is

t=\frac{3.861-3.4595}{9.81}

t=0.0409

Two identical charges, 2 m apart, exert forces of magnitude 4 N on each other. The value of each charge is: 1. 9 × 105 C 2. 4.2
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The value of each charge is 4.22 x 10⁻⁵ C

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the two identical charges, d = 2 m

the force of repulsion between these two charges, F = 4N

Apply Coulomb's law;

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\but \ q_1 =q_2,then \ let \ q_1 =q_2 = q\\\\F = \frac{kq^2}{r^2}\\\\q^2 = \frac{Fr^2}{k}\\\\q^2 = \frac{4*2^2}{9*10^9} \\\\q ^2 = 1.7778*10^{-9}\\\\q = \sqrt{1.7778*10^{-9}}\\\\q =4.22 *10^{-5} C\\\\q= q_1=q_2= 4.22 *10^{-5} C

Therefore, the value of each charge is 4.22 x 10⁻⁵ C
