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

A rocket takes off from Earth and reaches a speed of 105 m/s in 18.0 s. If the exhaust speed is 1,200 m/sand the mass of fuel bu
Amanda [17]

Answer:

The initial mass of the rocket is 526.2 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Final speed = 105 m/s

Time = 18.0 s

Exhaust initial speed = 1200 m/s

Mass of burned fuel = 110 kg

We need to calculate the initial mass

The velocity change of rocket under gravity is defined as,

v=u\ ln(\dfrac{m_{i}}{m})-gt....(I)

We know that,

m=m_{i}-m_{bf}

Put the value of m in equation (I)

v=u\ ln(\dfrac{m_{i}}{m_{i}-m_{bf}})-gt

m_{i}=\dfrac{m_{bf}}{1-e^-{\dfrac{v+gt}{u}}}

m_{i}=\dfrac{110}{1- e^-{\frac{105+9.8\times18}{1200}}}

m_{i}=526.2 kg

Hence, The initial mass of the rocket is 526.2 kg.

Suppose your salary in 2012 is $70,000. Assuming an annual inflation rate of 7%, what salary do you need to earn in 2020 in orde
s2008m [1.1K]

Annual salary(2012) = $70,000

Annual inflation = 7%

Therefore, the salary you need to earn in 2020 in order to have the same purchasing power can be calculated below

2020-2012=8\text{ years}FV=PV\times(1+r)^n

where

n = 8

r = 7/100 = 0.07

PV = 70, 000

\begin{gathered} FV=70,000(1+0.07)^8 \\ FV=70000(1.07)^8 \\ FV\text{ = 70000}\times1.71818617983 \\ FV=120273.032588 \\ FV=\text{  \$}120,273.03 \end{gathered}

The salary you need to earn in 2020 to have the same purchasing power = $120, 273.03
