A 2000-kg elevator is at rest when its cable breaks. The elevator falls 26 m before it encounters a giant spring at the bottom o

f the elevator shaft. As the elevator falls, its safety clamp applies a constant frictional force of 17,000 N. 1. List all the forces acting on the elevator after the cable breaks but before it hits the spring. Determine the work done by each force on the elevator. Make sure these work terms have the appropriate signs (positive or negative). 2. Calculate the net work done on the elevator. 3. Use the work-kinetic-energy theorem to determine the speed of the elevator right before it encounters the spring. 4. After the elevator encounters the spring, the spring compresses by 0.6 m before the elevator comes to rest. The safety clamp continues to apply a constant 17,000 N force. List all the forces acting on the elevator while it falls this final 0.6 m. 5. For each force listed in question F4, determine an expression for the work it does on the elevator. Make sure each work term has the appropriate sign (positive or negative). 6. Use the work-kinetic-energy theorem to determine the value of the spring constant k.

Which types of numbers does scientific notation best describe?
Travka [436]
The correct answer is
<span>c) very small and very large

Let's see this with a few examples:
1) if we have a very small number, such as
</span>0.0000000001
<span>we see that we can write it easily by using the scientific notation:
</span>1\cdot 10^{-10}
<span>2) Similarly, if we have a very large number:
</span>10000000000
<span>we see that we can write it easily by using again the scientific notation:
</span>1 \cdot 10^{10}<span>
</span>

An object weighs 32 newtons. What is its mass if a gravitometer indicates that g = 8.25 m/s?
Elan Coil [88]

Explanation:

weight=mass×g

32=mass×8.25

mass=

Problem 1: Spherical mirrorConsider a spherical mirror of radius 2 m, and rays which go parallel to the optic axis. What is thep
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

1) iii i= 1m, 2)  iii and iv, 3)  i = f₂ (L-f₁) / (L - (f₁ + f₂))

Explanation:

Problem 1

For this problem we use two equations the equations of the focal distance in mirrors

              f = r / 2

              f = 2/2

             f = 1 m

The builder's equation

           1 / f = 1 / o + 1 / i

Where f is the focal length, "o and i" are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

For a ray to arrive parallel to the surface it must come from infinity, whereby o = ∞ and 1 / o = 0

              1 / f = 0 + 1 / i

              i = f

              i = 1 m

The image is formed at the focal point

The correct answer is iii

Problem 2

For this problem we have two possibilities the lens is convergent or divergent, in both cases the back face (R₂) must be flat

Case 1 Flat lens - convex (convergent)

              R₂ = infinity

              R₁ > 0

Cas2 Flat-concave (divergent) lens

             R₂ = infinity

              R₁ <0

Why the correct answers are iii and iv

Problem 3

For a thick lens the rays parallel to the first surface fall in their focal length (f₁), this is the exit point for the second surface whereby the distance to the object is o = L –f₁, let's apply the constructor equation to this second surface

          1 / f₂ = 1 / (L-f₁) + 1 / i

          1 / i = 1 / f₂ - 1 / (L-f₁)

           1 / i = (L-f₁-f₂) / f₂ (L-f₁)

           i = f₂ (L-f₁) / (L - (f₁ + f₂))

This is the image of the rays that enter parallel to the first surface

What’s Is Example Of
ahrayia [7]

*heat transfer energy, As it always flow from higher temperature to lower temperature till it reach the thermal equilibrium.

example: -friction.

- collisions.

- the hot cup which's hotter than your hand✋will transfer heat in your hand. and a cold piece of ice which's colder than your hand to causing the heat transfer out of your hand .

*temperature ️ depends on the move of particle and we have a different shape of motion like:

translational motion.

rotational motion.

vibrational motion.

when the temperature:

increases it has more kinetic energy and faster moving particles and the object expanded which known as (thermal expansion).

decreases it has less kinetic energy and slower moving particles.

As kinetic energy is 1/2 mV².

example: -the mercury in thermometers.

*Absolute zero :

The theoretical temperature at which substances possess no thermal energy, equal to 0 K, −273.15°C, or −459.67°F.

*specific heat "c" :

is essentially a measure of how thermally insensitive a substance is to the addition of energy.

c=Q/m∆T

where Q is energy .

note water has a higher specific heat, and lower temperature.

*conduction <em><u>example</u></em> When the stove is turned on, the skillet becomes very hot due to the conduction of heat from the burner to the skillet.

Anyone please helps me with this question... I'm stuck..
Zolol [24]
Highest fluid potential energy: answer A
Because the fluid is pushed upwards and potential energy is function of height. Since point A is the highest, there is the highest potential energy.

highest fluid pressure: answer C
This is because it is at the bottom where you have a hydrostatic pressure component

increasing fluid speed: answer B
This is because the section of the pipe is smaller and in order to have the same fluid flow rate the speed must increase
