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:

F_n=ma+w 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

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

0.47922 kgm/s and will move right to left

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of broccoli-tomato-pickle-onion-mushroom pizza = 235 g

m_2 = Mass of veggieburger-on-a-bun = 351 g

v_1 = Velocity of broccoli-tomato-pickle-onion-mushroom pizza = 1.65 m/s

v_2 = Velocty of veggieburger-on-a-bun = -2.47 m/s

Left to right is considered positive direction and the opposite is negative direction

Net momentum is

p=m_1v_1+m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow p=0.235\times 1.65+0.351\times -2.47\\\Rightarrow p=-0.47922\ kgm/s

The combined dish has a momentum of 0.47922 kgm/s and will move right to left

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

In a chemical reaction the total mass of all the substances taking part in the reaction remains the same. Also, the number of atoms in a reaction remains the same. Mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Find the position of the center of mass of the system of the sun and Jupiter? (Since Jupiter is more massive than the rest of th
8090 [49]

Answer:

r_{cm} = 0.074 m from the position of the center of the Sun

Explanation:

As we know that mass of Sun and Jupiter is given as

M_s = 1.98 \times 10^{30} kg

M_j = 1.89 \times 10^{27} kg

distance between Sun and Jupiter is given as

r = 7.78 \times 10^{11} m

now let the position of Sun is origin and position of Jupiter is given at the position same as the distance between them

so we will have

r_{cm} = \frac{M_s r_1 + M_j r_2}{M_s + M_j}

r_{cm} = \frac{1.98 \times 10^{30} (0) + (1.89 \times 10^{27})(7.78 \times 10^{11})}{1.98 \times 10^{30} + 1.89 \times 10^{27}}

r_{cm} = 0.074 m from the position of the center of the Sun

Two point charges each carrying a charge of + 4.5 E - 6 C are located 4.5 meters away from each other. How strong is the electro
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

0.009 N, repulsive

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two electric charges is given by:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, we have

q_1 =q_2 = +4.5\cdot 10^{-6}C are the two charges

r = 4.5 m is their separation

Substituting into the equation, we find

F=(9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2})\frac{(+4.5\cdot 10^{-6} C)(4.5\cdot 10^{-6} C)}{(4.5 m)^2}=0.009 N

Moreover, the force is repulsive. In fact, the following rules apply:

- When two charges have same sign, they repel each other

- When two charges have opposite signs, they attract each other

6. When adding vectors graphically, the direction and length of each vector must:
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Not be changed

Option: D

<u>Explanation:</u>

The physical quantity which has both ‘magnitude and direction’ is called vector. These vectors are represented by a line and an arrow, <em>the line represent the magnitude and arrow represent the direction of the physical quantity</em>. The vectors are added and subtracted according to the direction of the vectors.

According to the vector law addition while adding vectors direction and length of the vector is not be changed.<em> If the length of the vector changed the magnitude is also changed while so, while adding vectors length must not be changed. </em>
