Answer:

(a) T = 18309.63 N = 18.31 KN

(b) T = 16314.03 N = 16.314 KN

Explanation:

(a)

The tension in an elevator while moving upward with some acceleration is given by the following formula:

T = m(g+a)\\

where,

T = Tension = ?

m = mass = 1663 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = acceleration of elevator = 1.2 m/s²

Therefore,

T = (1663\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2 + 1.2\ m/s^2)\\

<u>T = 18309.63 N = 18.31 KN</u>

<u></u>

(b)

Constant velocity means no acceleration. So, in that case, the tension will be equal to the weight of the elevator:

T = mg\\T = (1663\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2)\\

<u>T = 16314.03 N = 16.314 KN</u>

A tube 1.20 m long is closed at one end. A stretched wire is placed near the open end.The wire is 0.330 m long and has a mass of
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Explanation:

tube:

f=v/4L = 343/(4*1.2)= 71.4583Hz tube's fundamental frequency  

wire:  

f=v/2L -> v=2Lf

v= 2*0.323*71.4583= 46.162m/s  

ρ= 0.0095/0.323= 0.02941kg/m  

v=√(T/ρ) -> T=v^2*ρ

T= 46.162^2*0.02941= 62.67[N] Tension of wire.

Mary starts from her house, walks 80 meters south, and stops to chat with her aunt on the sidewalk. After chatting for a few min
maksim [4K]

Answer:

0.42 meters/second

Explanation:

The total distance traveled by Mary is: 80 m + 125 m + 45 m = 250 m  

We want the speed in meters/second, so we have to convert the 10 minutes elapsed during the trip into seconds. Then we need a conversion factor, 1 minute is equivalent to 60 seconds.

time = 10 minutes * (60 seconds/1 minute) = 600 seconds (notice that minute is cancelled because is multiplying and dividing)

Now, we can compute the average speed is as follows:

Average speed = total distance/time = 250 m/600 s =  0.42 m/s

What is the difference between newtons law of gravitation and Coulombs law?​
svlad2 [7]
Coulomb's law explains the force between the charges whereas Newton's law of gravitation explains the force between the masses. ... The electrostatic force may be positive or negative in the case of Coulomb's law but the force is always negative in the case of Newton's law of gravitation
