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.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

T = 0.225 s

Explanation:

The speed of a projectile at the highest point of its motion is the horizontal speed of the projectile. Considering the horizontal motion with negligible air resistance, we can use the following formula:

v_x = RT\\\\T = \frac{v_x}{R}

where,

T = Total time of ball in air = ?

R = Horizontal distance covered = 40 m

v_x = horizontal speed = 9 m/s

Therefore,

T = \frac{9\ m/s}{40\ m}

<u>T = 0.225 s</u>

If the mass of an object is 8 kg and its momentum is -80 kgm/s, what is its velocity?
Dimas [21]

An object's momentum is the product of its mass and its velocity:

p = mv

p is its momentum, m is its mass, and v is its velocity.

Given values:

p = -80kg×m/s

m = 8kg

Plug in these values and solve for v:

-80 = 8v

v = -10m/s

dusya [7]

Answer:

D:   The side of Magnet A that's attracted to Magnet B's south pole must be Magnet A's north pole

Explanation:

D:  The side of Magnet A that's attracted to Magnet B's south pole must be Magnet A's north pole because

1) opposite poles attract each other

2) similar poles repel each other

3)magnetic lines of force start at the north pole and end at the south pole

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

B) - 5.0 m

Explanation:

B is located on a positive location, 15m from the starting point A. Hence, since E is located a positive distance 10m from A, the difference becomes 10 - 15 = - 5.0 m

Calculate its average speed in meters per second

Answer:

5.77 m/s

Explanation:

Speed= Distance/Time

Distance= 40+ half of 40= 40+20= 60 m

Time= 8.8+1.6=10.4 s

Average speed= 60/10.4=5.769230769  m/s

Approximately, the average speed is 5.77 m/s
