Old-fashioned pendulum clocks are powered by masses that need to be wound back to the top of the clock about once a week to coun

teract energy lost due to friction and to the chimes. One particular clock has three masses: 4.0 kg, 4.0 kg, and 6.0 kg. They can drop 1.3 meters. How much energy does the clock use in a week?

Answer:

Energy, E = 178.36 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass 1, m_1=4\ kg

Mass 2, m_2=4\ kg

Mass 3, m_3=6\ kg

Height from which they are dropped, h = 1.3 m

Let m is the energy used by the clock in a week. The energy is equal to the gravitational potential energy. It is given by :

E=(m_1+m_2+m_3)gh

E=(4+4+6)\times 9.8\times 1.3

E = 178.36 J

So, the energy used by the clock in a week is 178.36 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

an elevator suspended by a vertical cable is moving downward but slowing down. the tension in the cable must be:
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

F = M a is the vector equation involved

F = T - M g      are the forces acting on the elevator   (scalar equation)

T - M g = M a

T = M (a + g)    remember this a scalar

If a is slowing down then it must have a positive acceleration upwards

Therefor the tension in the cable must be greater than zero

When the tension increases to M g, a has increased to zero

For a to be zero, no acceleration, T = M g
