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 car is traveling at 21.0 m/s. It slows to a stop at a constant rate over 5.00s. How far does the car travel during those 5.00
Doss [256]

Answer:

d = 105 m

Explanation:

Speed of a car, v = 21 m/s

We need to find the distance traveled by the dar during those 5 s before it stops. Let the distance is d. It can be calculated as :

d = v × t

d = 21 m/s × 5 s

d = 105 m

So, it will cover 105 m before it stops.
