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

Two of the types of infrared light, ir-c and ir-a, are both components of sunlight. their wavelengths range from 3000 to 1,000,0
NikAS [45]
The energy of a light wave is calculated using the formula
E = hc/λ
h is the Planck's constant
c is the speed of light
λ is the wavelength
For the ir-c, the range is
<span>6.63 x 10^-34 (3x10^8) / 3000 = 6.63 x 10 ^-29 J
</span>6.63 x 10^-34 (3x10^8) / 1000000 = 1.99 x 10^-31 J

For the ir-a, the range is
6.63 x 10^-34 (3x10^8) / 700 = 2.84 x 10^-28 J
6.63 x 10^-34 (3x10^8) / 1400 = 1.42 x 10^-28 J

Near the top of the Citigroup Center building in New York City, there is an object with mass of 4.8 x 105 kg on springs that hav
Vikki [24]

Answer:

The force constant is  k =1.316 *10^{7} \  N/m

The energy stored in the spring is  E =  1.68 *10^{7} \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the object is  M  = 4.8*10^{5} \ kg

    The period is T  = 1.2 \ s

The period of the spring oscillation is  mathematically represented as

         T  =2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{M}{k}}

where  k is the force constant

   So making k the subject

       k = \frac{4 \pi ^2 M }{T^2}

substituting values

       k = \frac{4 (3.142) ^2 (4.8 *10^{5}) }{(1.2)^2}

      k =1.316 *10^{7} \  N/m

The energy stored in the spring is mathematically represented  as

       E =  \frac{1}{2} k x^2

Where x is the spring displacement which is given as

        x =  1.6 \ m

substituting values

      E =  \frac{1}{2} (1.316 *10^{7}) (1.6)^2

       E =  1.68 *10^{7} \ J

A 1200-kg car initially at rest undergoes constant acceleration for 9.4 s, reaching a speed of 11 m/s. It then collides with a s
Natalka [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the principle of conservation of energy and the definition of kinematic energy as half the product between mass and squared velocity. So,

KE_i = KE_f

KE_f = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Here,

m = Mass

V = Velocity

Replacing,

KE_f = \frac{1}{2} (12000)(11)^2

KE_f = 72600J

Therefore the  final kinetic energy of the two car system is 72.6kJ

Where would a new neuron come from
erica [24]
Neurogenesis does not occur everywhere in the brain but is evident in the hippocampus and olfactory bulb and perhaps in the cerebral cortex. New neurons are born not from mature nerve cells but rather develop from neural stem cells that remain in our brains throughout life.
