Answer:
The magnitude of the force the garbage exerts on the floor of the service elevator is 12 N
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the garbage, m = 10.0 kg
acceleration of the elevator, a = 1.2 m/s²
The magnitude of the force the garbage exerts on the floor of the service elevator is given by;
F = ma
F = 10 x 1.2
F = 12 N
Therefore, the magnitude of the force the garbage exerts on the floor of the service elevator is 12 N
Power = (voltage) x (current). The motor consumes (12)x(206)=2,472 watts. Some of it is dissipated as heat, but most of it is used to do useful work by turning the engine over to make it start.
Answer:
a) the Tunguska meteoric impact
Explanation:
The Tunguska Event, sometimes known as the Tungus Meteorite is thought to have resulted from an asteroid or comet entering the earth's atmosphere and exploding. The event released as much energy as fifteen one-megaton atomic bombs. As well as blasting an enormous amount of dust into the atmosphere, felling 60 million trees over an area of more than 2000 square kilometres. Shaidurov suggests that this explosion would have caused "considerable stirring of the high layers of atmosphere and change its structure." Such meteoric disruption was the trigger for the subsequent rise in global temperatures
According to Vladimir Shaidurov of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the apparent rise in average global temperature recorded by scientists over the last hundred years or so could be due to atmospheric changes that are not connected to human emissions of carbon dioxide from the burning of natural gas and oil.
Potential energy relative to the floor =
(mass) x (gravity) x (height off the floor) =
(2kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (2m) =
39.2 kg-m²/sec² = <em>39.2 joules </em>
Weight = m times g = 5.23 times 8.83 = 46.18 N
