Answer:
Explanation:
The equation for this, since we are talking about weight on an elevator, is Newton's 2nd Law adjusted to fit our needs:
where the Normal Force needed to lift that elevator car is the tension. So the equation then becomes
T = ma + w where T is the tension in the cable to lift the elevator, m is the mass of the elevator (which we have to solve for), a is the acceleration of the elevator (positive since it's going up), and w is the weight of the elevator (which we have as 5500 N). Solving first for mass:
w = mg and
5500 =- m(10) so
m = 550 kg. Now we have what we need to solve for the tension:
T = 550(4.0) + 5500 and
T = 2200 + 5500 so
T = 7700 N
Answer:
1.5 km/s²
Explanation:
Given that:
a car starts from rest; it means the initial velocity (u) = 0 km/hr = 0 m/s
after time (t) = 20 seconds
the final velocity = 108 km/hr = 30 m/s
The acceleration (a) of the car can be determined by using the formula:
a = 1.5 km/s²
