Answer:

The question is incomplete. However, I believe, it is asking for the acceleration of the elevator. This is 3.16 m/s².

Explanation:

By Hooke's law, F = ke

F is the force on a spring, k is the spring constant and e is the extension or compression.

From the question,

F = (1.08\text{ kN/m}) \times (6.0 \times 10^{-2}\text{ m}) = 64.8 \text{ N}

This is the force on the mass suspended on the spring. Its acceleration, a, is given by

F = ma

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

a = \dfrac{64.8 \text{ N}}{5\text{ kg}} = 12.96\text{ m/s}^2

This acceleration is more than the acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s². Hence the elevator must be moving up with an acceleration of

12.96 - 9.8 m/s² = 3.16 m/s²

ira [324]

Answer:

517.5Ns

Explanation:

F=(MV - MU)/t

where MV - MU is the change in momentum,

therefore, MV - MU = Ft

= 345 X 1.

= 517.5Ns

Define speed and what is it’s SI unit.
Nadusha1986 [10]
Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. ... Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the metre per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour........?

ANSWER PLS!!<br><br> In two to three sentences, differentiate between a motor and a generator
Degger [83]

-- A motor and a generator both do a transformation between electrical energy and some other form of energy, but they do it in opposite directions.

-- A motor takes electrical energy and transforms it into mechanical energy, which can then be used to run mechanical things like cars or wheat grinders.

-- A generator takes mechanical energy ... like from a steam turbine or a windmill or a water wheel ... and transforms it into electrical energy, which can then be shipped over long distances through wires, and used to run motors or other electrical things.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Work done  on the two cart system is 2 N-m

Explanation:

Work done is equal to the product of force and displacement

Work done =4N * (0.17 +0.33)

work done = 4N * 0.5

Work done = 2 N -m

Work done  on the two cart system is 2 N-m
