An elevator is being pulled up from the ground floor to the third floor by a cable. The cable is exerting 4500 newtons of force

on the elevator. According to Newton's law of action-reaction, what is the gravitational force on the elevator, in newtons, if the elevator is NOT accelerating?

Answer:

The gravitational force on the elevator = 4500N

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The force applied by the elevator, F  = 4500 N

The acceleration of the elevator = Not accelerating

From Newton's third law of motion, the action of the cable force is equal to the reaction of the gravitational force on the elevator which is the weight, W and motion of the elevator as follows;

F = W + Mass of elevator × Acceleration of elevator

∴ F = W + Mass of elevator × 0 = W

F = 4500 N = W

The net force on the elevator is F - W = 0

The gravitational force on the elevator = W = 4500N.

A bug is sitting on the edge of a rotating disk. At what angular velocity will the bug slide off the disk if its radius is 0.241
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

ω = 3.61 rad/sec

Explanation:

Firstly, we should know that the bug will not slip if friction can provide sufficient opposing force.

μmg = mv^2/r = mω^2r

Thus;

μg = ω^2r

ω^2 = μg/r

ω = √(μg/r)

ω = √(0.321 * 9.8)/0.241

ω = √(13.05)

= 3.61 rad/sec

When the Glen Canyon hydroelectric power plant in Arizona is running at capacity, 690 m3 of water flows through the dam each sec
bixtya [17]

Answer:

1340.2MW

Explanation:

Hi!

To solve this problem follow the steps below!

1 finds the maximum maximum power, using the hydraulic power equation which is the product of the flow rate by height by the specific weight of fluid

W=αhQ

α=specific weight for water =9.81KN/m^3

h=height=220m

Q=flow=690m^3/s

W=(690)(220)(9.81)=1489158Kw=1489.16MW

2. Taking into account that the generator has a 90% efficiency, Find the real power by multiplying the ideal power by the efficiency of the electric generator

Wr=(0.9)(1489.16MW)=1340.2MW

the maximum possible electric power output is 1340.2MW

A circular sign has a diameter of 40 cm and is subjected to normal winds up to 150 km/h at 10°C and 100 kPa. Determine the drag
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

147.7 N

221.55 Nm

Explanation:

P = Pressure = 100000 Pa

R_s = Mass-specific gas constant = 287.015 J/kg k

T = Temperature = 10+273 = 283 K

C = Drag coefficient = 1.1

A = Area

r = Radius = 0.2 m

v = Speed of wind = \frac{150}{3.6}\ m/s

L = Length of pole

Density

\rho=\frac{P}{R_sT}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{100000}{287.058\times 283}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1.2309\ kg/m^3

Drag force

F=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2309\times 1.1\times \left(\pi \times 0.2^2\right)\times \left(\frac{150}{3.6}\right)^2\\\Rightarrow F=147.7\ N

Force on the circular sign is 147.7 N

M=F\times L\\\Rightarrow M=147.7\times 1.5\\\Rightarrow M=221.55\ Nm

Bending moment at the bottom of the pole is 221.55 Nm

If the bar magnet is flipped over and the south pole is brought near the hanging ball, the ball will be?
disa [49]

The ball may attracted to the magnet.

<h3>How can we understand that the hanging ball will be attracted to the magnet or not?</h3>
  • From the question, we understand that the ball is attracted by the north pole of the bar magnet, then the bar magnet flipped over and the south pole is brought near the hanging ball.
  • As we know, in this type of experiments of bar magnet most of the times the ball is made out of steel.
  • Steel is a magnetic material.
  • Magnetic materials gets attracted  to the magnet at both the North and South pole.
  • This can be compared to how neutral objects also gets attracted to the positively and negatively charged rods through the Polarization force.

So, If the bar magnet is flipped over and the south pole is brought near the hanging ball, The ball will be attracted to the magnet.
