An empty elevator has a mass of 722 kg. It moves between floors at a maximum speed of 6.00 m/s. The elevator is stopped on the 2

0th floor of the building when someone pushes the call button in the lobby (the first floor). Assuming that it takes 15.25 meters for the elevator to reach its maximum speed, and assuming constant acceleration, calculate the tension in the cable as the elevator car begins to descend (during the period of constant acceleration). Take the acceleration due to gravity to be 9.81 m/s2. Show your work.

Answer:

Explanation:

The lift is going down with acceleration

Initial speed u = 0

Final speed v = 6 m/s

distance s = 15.25 m

acceleration a = ?

v² = u² + 2 a s

6² = 0 + 2 x a x 15.25

a = 1.18 m /s²

Elevator is going down with acceleration  .

mg - T = ma where T is tension in the cable .

722 x 9.8 - T = 722 x 1.18

7075.6 - T = 851.96

T = 6223.64 N .

A 77.0 kg ice hockey goalie, originally at rest, catches a 0.150 kg hockey puck slapped at him at a velocity of 22.0 m/s. Suppos
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

For elestic collision

v₁ = \frac{(m_1-m_2)u_1}{m_1+m_2} +\frac{2m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}

v_2 = [tex]\frac{(m_2-m_1)u_2}{m_1+m_2} +\frac{2m_1u_1}{m_1+m_2}[/tex]

Here u₁ = 0 , u₂ = 22 m/s , m₁ = 77 kg , m₂ = .15 kg ,  v₁ and v₂ are velocity of goalie and puck after the collision.

v₁ = 0 + ( 2 x .15 x22 )/ 77.15  

= .085 m / s

Velocity of goalie will be .085 m/s in the direction of original velocity of ball before collision.

v₂ = (.15 - 77)x 22 / 77.15 +0

= - 21.91 m /s

=Velocity of puck will be - 21.91 m /s  in the direction opposite  to original velocity of ball before collision.

Can someone please help me with potential and kinetic energy of a roller coaster portfolio assement?
otez555 [7]
If the ball didn't make it to the end of the journey, then it presumably ran out of kinetic energy, said energy, energy of movement, either being converted to potential energy, or to heat energy as the case may be.
Conservation of energy means that the total, often the kinetic plus the potential, is constant. One decreases and the other increases, and vice versa, so that they all add up to the same amount.
ball released from rest at top of a track will have zero initial velocity. ball at the top of the track will have a potential energy of mgh. ball's vertical height above bottom of track gives the potential energy.

Why solid keep their shape?
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Solids can hold their shape because their molecules are tightly packed together. ... Atoms and molecules in liquids and gases are bouncing and floating around, free to move where they want. The molecules in a solid are stuck in a specific structure or arrangement of atoms

Hope this helps ☆*:. o(≧▽≦)o .:*☆

A roller coaster is towed up an incline at a steady speed of 0.4800 m/s by a chain parallel to the surface of the incline. The s
maria [59]

Answer:

The force exerted by the chain is 117N

Explanation:

We have to draw a free body diagram to visualize this problem better.

according to Newton's second law:

\sum F=m*a

but the roller coaster is having a constant speed so:

\sum F=0

F_c-F_{mg}=0

F_c=F_{mg}

F_{mg}=m*g*sin(\theta)\\\\\theta=arctg(\frac{2.9m}{100m})=1.7^o\\\\F_{mg}=402.3kg*9.81m/s*sin(1.7^o)\\F_{mg}=117N

So:

F_c=117N

Hello, I want to ask. . anyone knows the answer.
stealth61 [152]
I would say D. because you round to the nearest whole number and 0.04 is way less than 0.5 which is a good rounding up number.
