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

If a boat and its riders have a mass of 1100 kg and the boat drifts in at 1.3 m/s how much work does Sam do to stop it
andriy [413]

Answer:

-929.5Joules

Explanation:

To get the work done by sam, we will calculate the kinetic energy of sam expressed as;

KE = 1/2mv²

m is the mass = 1100kg

v is the velocity = 1.3m/s

KE = 1/2(1100)(1.3)²

KE = 550(1.69)

KE = 929.5Joules

Since Sam is opposing the direction of movement, work done by him will be a negative work i.e -929.5Joules

An uncharged capacitor is connected to the terminals of a 4.0 V battery, and 6.0 μC flows to the positive plate. The 4.0 V batte
Ugo [173]

Answer:

1 μC extra charge will be flow here

Explanation:

Given data

battery V1 = 4.0 V

flows Q1 =  6.0 μC

replace battery V2 = 7.0 V

to find out

what happen if we replace battery

solution

we apply here principal of capacitor

that is Q directly proportional voltage

so we say Q2/Q1 = V2/ V1

put all value here

Q2/Q1 = V2/ V1

Q2/6 = 7/ 6

Q2 = 7

so we see here 7 μC will be flow

and Q = Q2 - Q1 = 7 - 6 = 1 μC

so we also say that 1 μC extra charge will be flow here

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 39 and its mass number is 79?
bazaltina [42]

Number of neutrons: atomic mass - atomic number

Element X's atomic mass is 79 and its atomic number is 39. Subtract 39 from 79 to find how many neutrons Element X has.

79 - 39 = 40

Element X has 40 neutrons.

What is the electric power used by an appliance if the current is 2 A and the voltage is 50 volts? Show work and include all uni
dem82 [27]
Both the answers from "Big D" and "N9KXF" are correct, but not complete. There is one aspect that needs to be remembered for AC power - the phase relationship between the voltage and current. 

<span>For AC power, the more complete equation for power is P = V * I * cosx, where x is the phase angle between voltage and current. </span>

<span>If the phase angle between voltage and current is 90 degrees, then even though current may be flowing, the total power over a cycle would be zero. Reactive elements like inductors and capacitors have a 90degree phase relationship between voltage and current. They do not "dissipate" energy. They store energy and give it back during different parts of the AC cycle. </span>
