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

bearhunter [10]
The initial temperature of the bar is 25. To get to the t temperature you need to add (t-25) degrees Celsius.

for 1 degree................... 7 Joules
      y given degree........  p Joules

p=7y

In our case y=(t-25) .

h(t) = 7(t-25) which is the final answer.

3. a) If the distance between two objects increases by a factor of 5 (5),
irina [24]

Answer:

Answer for A

Explanation:

F1=GmM/r1^2

If r2 becomes r2=5r

F2=GmM/(25r^2)

Multiply with 25 gives to maintain the same force

I.e.,25F2=F1

F2=G(25m)M/25r^2=F1

By the factor 25 would change to increase to same.

You are traveling at 100 km/hr to make it to work on time. You have to be to work in .25 hr or you will be late. You have 16 km
alexgriva [62]

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

Velocity V is defined as the distance traveled d in a specific time t:

V=\frac{d}{t}

If you are traveling at V=100 km/h a distance d=16 m, then the time it will take you to be at work is:

t=\frac{d}{V}=\frac{16 km}{100 km/h}

t=0.16 h

This means you will make it on time, because this time is less than 0.25 h.
