After watching a news story about a fire in a high rise apartment building, you and friend decide to design an emergency escape

device from the top of a building. To avoid engine failure, your friend suggest a gravitational powered elevator. The design has a large, heavy turntable (a horizontal disk that is free to rotate about its center) on teh roof with a cable wound around its edge. The free end of the cable goes horizontally to the edge of the building roof, pases over a heavy vertical pulley, and then hangs straight down. A strong wire cage which can hold 5 people is then attached to the hanging end of the cable. When people enter the cage adn release it, the cable unrolls from the turntable lowering the people as safely to the ground. to see if the design is feasible you decide to calculate the acceleration of the fully loaded elevator to make sure it is much less than g. Your friend design has the radius of the turntable disk as 1.5 m and its mass as 2x that of the fully loaded elevator. The disk which serves as the vertical pulley has 1/4 the radius of the turntable and 1/16 its mass. In your physics book you find that the moment of inertia if a disk is 1/2 that of a ring.

AnnyKZ [126]
The statement that can be used to answer this  question is:

"If the cylinder is brought higher then, its temperature when brought down becomes higher because a greater amount of potential energy is converted to thermal energy."

The potential energy is converted to thermal energy when the object is released the velocity becomes higher because of the acceleration due to gravity.

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

When the object is placed at the focus the image is formed at infinity.

Explanation:

When a ray passes through focus and incident on a concave mirror then it will travel parallel to principal axis after reflection.Hence the image is formed at infinity.

Guillaume Amontons first took a stab at measuring absolute zero in 1702. What would be the most reasonable way it would have bee
Oliga [24]

He would measure the speed of molecules as the temperature gets colder until the temperature is measured at which motion stops.

<h3>What is the absolute zero?</h3>

The absolute zero refers to the temperature at which the gas seems to stop moving. Recall that temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a gas.

Hence, if Guillaume Amontons first took a stab at measuring absolute zero in 1702, he would measure the speed of molecules as the temperature gets colder until the temperature is measured at which motion stops.
