The speed of the elevator at the beginning of the 8 m descent is nearly 4 m/s. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
We are given that-
the mass of the elevator (m) = 1000 kg ;
the distance the elevator decelerated to be y = 8m ;
the tension is T = 11000 N;
let us determine the acceleration 'a' by using Newton's second law of motion.
∑Fy = ma
W - T = ma
(1000kg x 9.8 m/s² ) - 11000N = 1000 kg x a
9800 - 11000 = 1000
a = - 1.2 m/s²
Using the equation of kinematics to determine the initial velocity.
² = ² + 2ay
= √ ( 2 x 1.2m/s² x 8 m )
= √19.2 m²/s²
= 4.38 m/s ≈ 4 m/s
Hence, the initial velocity of the elevator is 4m/s.

Answer:
t=40s,
Explanation:
If you can swim in still water at 0.5m/s, the shortest time it would take you to swim from bank to bank across a 20m wide river, if the water flows downstream at a rate of 1.5m/s, is most nearly:
from the question the swimmer will have a velocity which is equal to the sum of the speed of the water and the velocity to swi across the bank
Vt=v1+v2
the time is takes to swim across the bank will be
DY=Dv*t
DY=distance across the bank
Dv=ther velocity of the swimmer across the bank
t=20/ 0.5m/s,
t=40s, time it takes to swim across the bank
velocity is the rate of displacement
displacement is distance covered in a specific direction
Answer:
Line 3 has a mistake.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to the each other. Therefore, Line 1 is correct.
Also, the fields in an electromagnetic waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave: therefore, they are transverse waves. So Line 2 is also correct.
Electromagnetic waves, contrary to mechanical waves, do not need a medium to propagate: so, they can also travel through a vacuum. Therefore, Line 3 is wrong.
Finally, all electromagnetic waves travel through a vacuum at the same speed, called speed of light:
So, Line 4 is also correct.
