The cable lifting an elevator is wrapped around a 1.2-m-diameter cylinder that is turned by the elevator's motor. The elevator i

s moving upward at a speed of 2.7m/s. It then slows to a stop, while the cylinder turns one complete revolution.

Answer: 2.8s

Explanation:

1) Since the cable is tense all the time, and it is neither sliping nor stretching, the cable will run a linear distance equal to the distance run by the elevator.

2) Since the cylinder turns one complete revolution, the distance run by the cable equals the circumference of cylinder.

3) Hence, you need to calculate the circumference of the cylinder, which is calcualted with the formula C = 2π × radius.

The radius is half the diameter: 1.2 m / 2 = 0.6 m

Hence, C = 2π × 0.6m = 3.8m

⇒ Distance run by the elevator = 3.8m

4) Now, assuming that the elevator went from the initial speed of 2.7 m/s to the complete stop (Vf = 0), with uniform acceleration (deceleration), you use the corresponding formulas:

i) Vf² = Vo² - 2ad ⇒ 2ad = Vo² - Vf² ⇒ a = [Vo² - Vf²] / (2d)

a = [2.7 m/s]² / (2×3.8m) = 0.96 m/s²

ii) Vf = Vo - at ⇒ t = [Vo - Vf] / t = [2.7 m/s] / (0.96 m/s²) = 2.8 s

Give one example of a thermodynamic cycle that does not account for the carnot efficiency.
Arturiano [62]

Thermo-Electrochemical converter (UTEC) is a thermodynamic cycle that does not account for the Carnot Efficiency.

The Carnot cycle is a hypothetical cycle that takes no account of entropy generation. It is assumed that the heat source and heat sink have perfect heat transfer. The working fluid also remains in the same phase, as opposed to the Rankine cycle, in which the fluid changes phase. A practical thermodynamic cycle, such as the Rankine cycle, would achieve at most 50% of the Carnot cycle efficiency under similar heat source and heat sink temperatures.

<h3>What is Thermo-Electrochemical converter?</h3>

In a two-cell structure, a thermo-electrochemical converter converts potential energy difference during hydrogen oxidation and reduction to heat energy.

It employs the Ericsson cycle, which is less efficient than the Carnot cycle. In a closed system, it converts heat to electrical energy. There are no external input or output devices.

This means there will be no mechanical work to be done, as well as no exhaust. As a result, Carnot efficiency is not taken into account in this cycle. Carnot efficiency is accounted for by other options such as turbine and engine.

A girl moves quickly to the center of a spinning merry-go-round, traveling along the radius of the merry-go-round. Which of the
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The angular speed of the system increases.

The moment of inertia of the system decreases.

Explanation:

As we know that the girl is going towards the center of the circle so here the moment of inertia of the girl is given as

I = mr^2

here we know that

r = position of the girl from the center of the disc

now we know that the girl is moving towards the center so its distance will continuously decreasing

So the moment of inertia of the girl will decrease

Now we know that that with respect to the center of the disc there is no torque on the disc + girl system

So here we can use angular momentum conservation

So we have

I\omega = constant

since moment of inertia is decreasing for the system

so angular speed will increase
