A 2500 kg elevator is suspended by a single cable, in which the tension is 30,000 N

Physics

With mass 2500 kg, the elevator has weight

(2500 kg) <em>g</em> = (2500 kg) (9.80 m/s²) = 24,500 N

The net force on the elevator is 30,000 N - 24,500 N = 5500 N (because its weight pulls it downward, while the tension pulls upward).

The acceleration <em>a</em> of the elevator is obtained from Newton's second law,

(2500 kg) <em>a</em> = 5500 N

<em>a</em> = (5500 N) / (2500 kg)

<em>a</em> = 2.2 m/s²

The quantity of heat Q that changes the temperature L1Tof a mass mof a substance isgiven by Q = cmt:T, where c is the specific h
White raven [17]

Answer:

a) Q = 80,000 cal

b) Q = 100,000 cal

c) Q = 540,000 cal

d) Q = 720,000 cal

Explanation:

a)1 kg from 0⁰ Ice to 0⁰ water, the heat produced is latent heat of fusion

Q_{l}  = ML_{f} = 1 * 80

Q_{l} = 80 kCal = 80,000 cal

b) 1 kg of O°C ice water to 1 kg of 100°C boiling water

Specific heat capacity, c =  1000cal/kg.C

Q_{c} = mc \delta T\\Q_{c} = 1 * 1000 * (100 - 0)\\Q_{c} =100000 cal

c) 1 kg of 100°C boiling water to 1 kg of 100°C steam

Latent heat of vaporization is needed for this conversion

Q_{v} = ML_{v} \\L_{v} = 540 kCal/kg\\Q_{v} =1* 540 \\Q_{v} = 540 kCal = 540000 cal

d)  1 kg of O°C ice to 1 kg of 100°C steam.

Q = Q_{L} + Q_{c} + Q_{v}

Q = 80,000 + 100,000 + 540,000

Q = 720,000 cal

Explain how the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere individually and collectively affect the biosphere. (2 points)
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The hydrosphere, the sphere of influence that deals with water in its various forms (some separate out ice and call that the cryosphere), provides the biosphere with a much needed component....water. Life would not exist as we know it without water. It places in important role for all organisms, alongside playing an important role in various earth processes.
