Answer:

a)= 98kJ

b)=108kJ

c) = 10kJ

Explanation:

a. The work that is done by gravity on the elevator is:

Work = force * distance  

= mass * gravity * distance

= 1000 * 9.81 * 10  

= 98,000 J

= 98kJ

b)The net force equation in the cable

T - mg = ma

T = m(g+a)

T = 1000(9.8 + 10)

T = 10800N

The work done by the cable is

W = T × d

= 10800N × 10

= 108000

=108kJ

c) PE at 10m = 1000 * 9.81 * 10 = 98,100 J  

Work done by cable = PE +KE  

108,100 J = KE + 98,100 J  

KE = 10,000 J

= 10kJ

Answer:

A)Work done by gravity = -98 Kj

B) W_tension = 108 Kj

C) Final kinetic energy Kf = 10 Kj

Explanation:

We are given;

mass; m = 1000kg

Upward acceleration; a = 1 m/s²

Distance; d = 10m

I've attached a free body diagram to show what is happening with the elevator.

A) From the image i attached, the elevators weight acting down is mg.

While T is the tension of the cable pulling the elevator upwards.

Now, we know that,

Work done = Force x distance

Thus, W = F•d

We want to calculate the work done by gravity;

From the diagram I've drawn, gravity is acting downwards and in am opposite direction to the motion having an upward acceleration.

Thus, Force of gravity = - mg

So, Work done by gravity;

W_grav = - mgd

W_grav = -1000 x 9.8 x 10 = -98000 J = -98 Kj

B) Again, W = F.d

W_tension = T•d

Let's find T by summation of forces in the vertical y direction

Thus, Σfy = ma

So, T - mg = ma

Thus, T = ma + mg

T = m(a + g)

Plugging in values,

T = 1000(1 + 9.8)

T = 1000 x 10.8 = 10800 N

So, W_tension = T•d = 10800 N x 10m = 108000 J = 108 Kj

C) From work energy theorem,

Net work = change in kinetic energy

Thus, W_net = Kf - Ki

Where Kf is final kinetic energy and Ki is initial kinetic energy.

Now since the elevator started from rest, Ki = 0 because velocity at that point is zero.

Thus, W_net = Kf - 0

W_net = Kf

Now, W_net is the sum of work done due to gravity and work done due to another force.

Thus, in this case,

W_net = W_grav + W_tension

W_net = -98000 J + 108000 J

W_net = 10000J = 10Kj

So,since W_net = Kf

Thus, Final kinetic energy Kf = 1000J

Can someone help me?​
Leviafan [203]

Car X traveled 3d distance in t time.  Car Y traveled 2d distance in t time. Therefore, the speed of car X, is 3d/t,  the speed of car Y, is 2d/t. Since speed is the distance taken in a given time.

In figure-2, they are at the same place, we are asked to find car Y's position when car X is at line-A. We can calculate the time car X needs to travel to there. Let's say that car X reaches line-A in t' time.

V_x .t' = 3d\\ \frac{3d}{t} .t' = 3d\\ t'=t

Okay, it takes t time for car X to reach line-A. Let's see how far does car Y goes.

V_y.t = \frac{2d}{t} .t = 2d

We found that car Y travels 2d distance. So, when car X reaches line-A, car Y is just a d distance behind car X.

An attractive force of 7.2 N occurs between two point charges that are 0.10 m apart. If one charge is -4.0 µC, what is the other
Umnica [9.8K]
The answer is c. +2.0 µC

To calculate this, we will use Coulomb's Law:

F = k*Q1*Q2/r²

where F is force, k is constant, Q is a charge, r is a distance between charges.

k = 9.0 × 10⁹  N*m/C²


It is given:

F = 7.2 N

d = 0.1 m =  10⁻¹ m

Q1 = -4.0 µC = 4 * 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ = 4.0 × 10⁻⁶

Q2 = ?


Thus, let's replace this in the formula for the force:

7.2 = 9.0 × 10⁹ * 4.0 × 10⁻⁶ * Q2/(10⁻¹)²

7.2 = 9 * 4 * 10⁹⁻⁶ * Q2/10⁻¹°²

7.2 = 36 × 10³ * Q2 / 10⁻²

Multiply both sides of the equation by 10⁻²:

7.2 × 10⁻² = 36 × 10³ * Q2

⇒ Q2 = 7.2 × 10⁻² / 36 × 10³ = 7.2/36 × 10⁻²⁻³ = 0.2 × 10⁻⁵ = 2 × 10⁻⁶ 


Since µC = 1.0 × 10^-6:

Q2 = 2 * 1.0 × 10^-6 = 2 µC
