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

ankoles [38]

Answer:

After 9 seconds the object reaches ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

We equation of motion given as h = -16t²+128t+144,

We need to find in how many seconds will the object hit the ground,

That is we need to find time when h = 0

                        0 = -16t²+128t+144

                       16t²-128t-144= 0

                       t=\frac{-(-128)\pm \sqrt{(-128)^2-4\times 16\times (-144)}}{2\times 16}\\\\t=\frac{128\pm \sqrt{25600}}{32}\\\\t=\frac{128\pm 160}{32}\\\\t=9s\texttt{ or }t=-1s

Negative time is not possible, hence after 9 seconds the object reaches ground.

Answer:

<em>The new period of oscillation is D) 3.0 T</em>

Explanation:

<u>Simple Pendulum</u>

A simple pendulum is a mechanical arrangement that describes periodic motion. The simple pendulum is made of a small bob of mass 'm' suspended by a thin inextensible string.

The period of a simple pendulum is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Where L is its length and g is the local acceleration of gravity.

If the length of the pendulum was increased to 9 times (L'=9L), the new period of oscillation will be:

T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L'}{g}}

T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{9L}{g}}

Taking out the square root of 9 (3):

T'=3*2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Substituting the original T:

T'=3*T

The new period of oscillation is D) 3.0 T

A 700 kg car is moving at 10 m/s west rear ends a 500 kg car at rest. They both stuck together after the collision and continue
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

v = 5.833\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The collision is inelastic and can be described by the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

(700\,kg)\cdot (10\,\frac{m}{s} ) + (500\,kg)\cdot (0\,\frac{m}{s} ) = (1200\,kg)\cdot v

The speed after the collision is:

v = 5.833\,\frac{m}{s}
