The highest occupiable floor of any building is in the Sears Tower in Chicago. The elevators of the central tower of the buildin

g lift passengers 436.0 m above street level. If a continuous forces of 22310 N is exerted on one of these elevator cars as it travels from the ground to the top floor, how much work is done on the elevator car by the elevator's lifting mechanism?

Answer:

9727160J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of elevator rise  = 436m

Force exerted  = 22310N

Unknown:

Work done by the elevator lifting mechanism = ?

Solution:

The work done by a body is the force applied to move a body in a specific direction;

          Work done  = force x distance moved

In this case, the force and distance moved is provided already;

        Work done  = 22310 x 436  = 9727160J

Explain why the same side of the moon is always facing Earth.
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The moon keeps the same face pointing towards the Earth because its rate of spin is tidally locked so that it is synchronized with its rate of revolution (the time needed to complete one orbit). In other words, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.

A sound wave has a speed of 330m/s and a wavelength of 0.372 m. what is the frequency of the wave?
Alja [10]

Answer:

887.1Hz

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of sound wave  = 330m/s

Wavelength  = 0.372m

Unknown:

Frequency  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

             Speed  = Frequency x wavelength

            330  = Frequency x 0.372

   Frequency  = 887.1Hz

Explain the difference between speed and velocity and indicate if these are scalar or vector quantities
Natali5045456 [20]
Speed can never be negative because it does not depend in which direction the car moves whereas, velocity will change if a car turns from due North to East.
Quantities which can be described only by their magnitudes are called scalars and those which are described by both, magnitude and direction are vectors
