No. All rock types can be used, many principles also apply to igneous rock

An elevator and its load have a combined mass of 1650 kg. Find the tension in the supporting cable when the elevator, originally

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Tension in the supporting cable is = 4,866 N ≅4.9 KN

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand that tension is a force, so the motion law

F = Ma applies perfectly.

From Newtons third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite. This means that the force experienced by the elevator, is equal to the tension experienced by the spring.

Parameters given:

Mass of load = 1650 kg

Acceleration of load = ?

The acceleration of the load can be obtained by diving the change in velocity by the time taken. But we need to know the time taken for the motion to 41 m.

Time taken = distance covered / velocity

= $\frac{41m}{11m/s}$ = 3.73 seconds

∴Acceleration = ( initial velocity - final velocity )/ time taken

Note: Final velocity is = 0 since the body came to a rest.

Acceleration = $\frac{11 - 0 m/s}{3.73s}$ = 2.95m/ $s^{2}$

Force acting on the cable = mass of elevator × acceleration of elevator

= 1650 × 2.95 = 4869.5 kg ≅ 4.9 KN

on the surface of planet x a body with a mass of 10 kilograms weighs 40 newtons. The magnitude of the acceleration due to gravit

tamaranim1 [39]

Based on the Newton's second law of motion, the value of the net force acting on the object is equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration due to gravity. If we let a be the acceleration due to gravity, the equation that would allow us to calculate it's value is,
W = m x a
where W is weight, m is mass, and a is acceleration. Substituting the known values,
40 kg m/s² = (10 kg) x a
Calculating for the value of a from the equation will give us an answer equal to 4.
ANSWER: 4 m/s².

Once Kate's kite reaches a height of 50 ft (above her hands), it rises no higher but drifts due east in a wind blowing 7 ft d

Margaret [11]

Answer:

dz = 7.136 (answer)

Explanation:

given height for kate's kite = 50 ft (say y)

due to drift it move towards east = dx = 7 ft

string maximum length = 107 ft ( say z)

we have to find change in z

that is dz

it will form a right angle triangle for x , y and z where x is base y is height and z is hypotenuse

so we get according to Pythagoras Theorem

$z^2 = x^2+y^2\\$ ...............(i)

by derivative both side consider y as constant

$2zdz = 2xdx\\dz = {xdx }/z$

from (i) equation

$x = \sqrt{z^2-y^2}$

$dz = \sqrt{z^2-y^2}dx/z$

now put the value and find dz

$dz = (\sqrt{120^2-50^2)}7/107\\ =((\sqrt{14400 -2500} )\times7)/107$

after solving these we get

$dz =\frac{109.08\times7}{107}$

dz = 7.136 (answer)

If the net force acting on a stationary object is zero then the object will

Drupady [299]

If the net force is zero, then there is no acceleration, which means no change in velocity. The velocity starts at zero, so it must remain at zero. Therefore, the object will not move.
