An elevator manufacturing company is stress-testing a new elevator in an airless test shaft. The elevator is traveling at an unk

nown velocity when the cable snaps. The elevator falls 1.10 meters before hitting the bottom of the shaft. The elevator was in free fall for 0.900 seconds. Determine its velocity when the cable snapped. As usual, up is the positive direction.

Answer:

3.192 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 0.900 seconds

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement = 1.1 meters

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{s-\frac{1}{2}at^2}{t}\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{1.1-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 0.9^2}{0.9}\\\Rightarrow u=-3.192\ m/s

Velocity of the elevator when it snapped is 3.192 m/s

A thin film of soap with n = 1.34 hanging in the air reflects dominantly red light with λ = 642 nm. What is the minimum thicknes
wariber [46]

Answer:

The minimum thickness of the film and the wavelength of the light in air are 1.197\times10^{-7}\ m and 371 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Refractive index of soap= 1.34

Refractive index  of glass= 1.55

Wavelength = 642 nm

(I). We need to calculate the minimum thickness

Using formula of thickness

t=\dfrac{(2m+1)\lambda}{4n}

Where, m = 0 for constrictive

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{(642\times10^{-9})}{4\times1.34}

t=1.197\times10^{-7}\ m

(II). We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

\lambda=\dfrac{2nt}{m}

Where, m = 1

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{2\times1.55\times1.197\times10^{-7}}{1}

\lambda=371\ nm

Hence, The minimum thickness of the film and the wavelength of the light in air are 1.197\times10^{-7}\ m and 371 nm.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

1- t^3

2- t^2

3- t1

Explanation:

The acceleration produced in a body, while travelling in a circular motion, due to change in direction of motion is called centripetal acceleration. The formula of the centripetal acceleration is as follows:

ac = v²/r

where,

ac = centripetal acceleration

v = speed

r = radius

for a constant radius the centripetal acceleration will be directly proportional to the speed of object. The speed of pendulum will be lowest at t1 due to zero speed initially. Then the speed will increase gradually having greater speed at t^2 and the highest speed and centripetal acceleration at t^3. Therefore, the three instants in tie can be written in following order from greatest centripetal acceleration to lowest:

<u>1- t^3</u>

<u>2- t^2</u>

<u>3- t1</u>

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

C)Before leaving for their trip, turn the central heating system off, along with lights and electrical household appliances.

Explanation:

Although, the other three options will also reduce their electricity bill but they do not explain why Mr. Hernandez's family got same electricity bill as last year even though this time they were not home for one and a half week. Also, A), B) and D) ideas are not reasonable.

So, the only conclusion is that even when they were on a vacation. the electrical appliances in their home were on. That's why the bill remained the same.

The idea of turning the central heating system off, along with lights and electrical household appliances before they leave for the trip will help reduce the energy usage. Also, it is reasonable.
