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

A billion years ago, Earth and its moon were just 200000 kilometers apart. Express this distance in meters.​
Luda [366]

Answer:

The  value is  x =  200000000 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  distance between the earth and the moon is  d  =  200000 \  km

Generally ,

     1 \  km  =  1000 \  m

      200000 \  km \to x \  m

=>    x = \frac{200000 *  1000}{1 }

=>   x =  200000000 \  m

How fast would 40 Newtons of force accelerate a 2 kg object?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

20 m/s^2

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

F=ma

where

F is the net force on the object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

In this problem:

F = 40 N is the force on the object

m = 2 kg is its mass

Therefore, the acceleration of the object is

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{40}{2}=20 m/s^2
