Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2450 \ Newtons }}

Explanation:

The elevator is falling freely and the only force acting on it is weight. So,  calculate the weight.

We can do this by multiplying the mass by the acceleration of gravity.

W=m*g

The mass of the elevator is 250 kilograms and the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 meters per second squared.

m= 250 \ kg \\g= 9.8 \ m/s^2

Substitute the values into the formula.

W= 250 \ kg * 9.8 \ m/s^2

Multiply.

W=2450 \ kg*m/s^2

  • 1 kilogram meter per second squared is equal to 1 Newton
  • So, our answer of 2450 kg*m/s² is equal to 2450 N

W= 2450 \ N

The force of weight on the elevator is <u>2450 Newtons</u>

Answer:

Since it is falling freely, the only force on it is its weight, w.

w = m × g = 250 kg × 9.8 m/s^2 = 2450 Newton/N

MgCl2
Mg = magnesium
Cl = chlorine

Magnesium + chlorine = magnesium chloride.

This is because compounds are always written with the METAL FIRST and the NON METAL SECOND. the non metal ends in - ide when it reacts with a metal.

So ur answer would be magnesium chloride. :)

A 600g toy train completes 10 laps of its circular track in 1 min 20s. If the radius of the track is 1.2 m, Find the centripetal
Lynna [10]

Wow !  This will take more than one step, and we'll need to be careful
not to trip over our shoe laces while we're stepping through the problem.

The centripetal acceleration of any object moving in a circle is

                          (speed-squared)  /  (radius of the circle)  .

Notice that we won't need to use the mass of the train.

We know the radius of the track.  We don't know the trains speed yet,
but we do have enough information to figure it out.  That's what we
need to do first.

Speed  =  (distance traveled) / (time to travel the distance).

Distance = 10 laps of the track.   Well how far is that ? ? ?

1 lap = circumference of the track = (2π) x (radius) =  2.4π  meters

10 laps =  24π  meters.

Time = 1 minute 20 seconds  =  80 seconds

The trains speed is  (distance) / (time)

                               =  (24π meters) / (80 seconds)

                               =        0.3 π  meters/second .

NOW ... finally, we're ready to find the centripetal acceleration.

                                 <span> (speed)²  /  (radius)

                           =    (0.3π m/s)²  /  (1.2 meters)

                           =    (0.09π m²/s²)  /  (1.2 meters)

                           =    (0.09π  /  1.2)   m/s²

                           =          0.236  m/s²  .        (rounded)

If there's another part of the problem that wants you to find
the centripetal FORCE ...

Well,       Force = (mass) · (acceleration) .

We know the mass, and we ( I ) just figured out the acceleration,
so you'll have no trouble calculating the centripetal force.       </span>

Compare the strengths of UV light and microwaves (in Hz). Which type of light is more powerful and how do you know?
TEA [102]

Answer:

UV light is more powerful as it has greater energy.

Explanation:

The energy propagated by electromagnetic waves ( light ) through vacuum or medium is known as electromagnetic radiation.

The frequency/wavelength range of electromagnetic radiation is known as electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum ranging from gamma ray to radio waves.

Frequency range of UV light = ( 8 x 10¹⁴ to 3 x 10¹⁶ ) Hz

Frequency range of Microwaves = ( 300 x 10⁶ to 300 x 10⁹ ) Hz

Ratio of UV light to Microwaves = (\frac{8\times10^{14} }{300\times10^{6} } to \frac{3\times10^{16} }{300\times10^{9} } )

                                                     = ( 2.66 x 10⁶ to 1 x 10⁸ )

Energy of electromagnetic radiation is given by the relation:

E = hν

Here h is plank's constant and ν is frequency.

UV light is more powerful than Microwaves as frequency of UV light is greater than frequency of microwaves. Thus, by the above equation, the energy of UV light is more than energy of Microwaves.

It is easier to lift the same load by using three pulley system than by using two-pulley system. why give reason.​
tresset_1 [31]
<h2>QUESTION:- It is easier to lift the same load by using three pulley system than by using two-pulley system.</h2>

<h2>ANSWER:- IN CASE OF IDEAL PULLEY SYSTEM</h2>

<h2>REASON:- </h2>

Logic behind is lies behind the mechanical advantage of the provided bt the Pulley system.

as if we calculate the mechanical advantage of the 2 Pulley system we will have the value 2

And if we will calculate the mechanical advantage of the 3 pulley system then we will get the value of 3

so due to extra mechanical advantage we feel it easy to move with 3 pulley system then 2 Pulley system
