Answer:

10880N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of elevator, m=850 kg

Acceleration, $a=3m/s^2$

$g=9.8m/s^2$

We have to find the tension in the cable.

We know that

When elevator is accelerating upward then tension in the cable

$T=m(a+g)$

Using the formula

$T=850(3+9.8)$

$T=10880N$

A light wave encounters a partial physical barrier, such as a wall with a hole in it. What is MOST LIKELY to occur?

tatiyna

Most likely, the light wave will be absorbed by the wall. Without any information as to the size and color of the wall, the location and size of the hole, or the location of the light wave, this is a generalized probability problem. For all of the places the light could be, it's more likely that it hits the wall than the hole (if the hole is less than 50% of the area of the wall).

QUESTION 10

Elena L [17]

The maximum value of θ of such the ropes (with a maximum tension of 5,479 N) will be able to support the beam without snapping is:

$\theta =37.01^{\circ}$

We can apply the first Newton's law in x and y-direction.

If we do a free body diagram of the system we will have:

x-direction

All the forces acting in this direction are:

$T_{1}sin(\theta)-T_{2}sin(\theta)=0$ (1)

Where:

T(1) is the tension due to the rope 1
T(2) is the tension due to the rope 2

Here we just conclude that T(1) = T(2)

y-direction

The forces in this direction are:

$T_{1}cos(\theta)+T_{2}cos(\theta)-W=0$ (2)

Here W is the weight of the steel beam.

We equal it to zero because we need to find the maximum angle at which the ropes will be able to support the beam without snapping.

Knowing that T(1) = T(2) and W = mg, we have:

$T_{1}cos(\theta)+T_{1}cos(\theta)-m_{steel}g=0$

$2T_{1}cos(\theta)-m_{steel}g=0$

$2T_{1}cos(\theta)=m_{steel}g$

T(1) must be equal to 5479 N, so we have:

$cos(\theta)=\frac{m_{steel}g}{2T_{1}}$

$cos(\theta)=\frac{892*9.81}{2*5479}$

$cos(\theta)=0.80$

Therefore, the maximum angle allowed is θ = 37.01°.

A particle moves in a straight line with the velocity function v ( t ) = sin ( w t ) cos 3 ( w t ) . find its position function

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Integrating the velocity equation, we will see that the position equation is:

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega t)-1}{3}$

<h3>How to get the position equation of the particle?</h3>

Let the velocity of the particle is:

$$v(t)=\sin (\omega t) * \cos ^2(\omega t)$

To get the position equation we just need to integrate the above equation:

$$f(t)=\int \sin (\omega t) * \cos ^2(\omega t) d t$

$$\mathrm{u}=\cos (\omega \mathrm{t})$

Then:

$$d u=-\sin (\omega t) d t$

$\Rightarrow d t=-d u / \sin (\omega t)$

Replacing that in our integral we get:

$\int \sin (\omega t) * \cos ^2(\omega t) d t$

$-\int \frac{\sin (\omega t) * u^2 d u}{\sin (\omega t)}-\int u^2 d t=-\frac{u^3}{3}+c$

Where C is a constant of integration.

Now we remember that $u=\cos (\omega t)$

Then we have:

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega t)}{3}+C$

To find the value of C, we use the fact that f(0) = 0.

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega * 0)}{3}+C=\frac{1}{3}+C=0$

C = -1 / 3

Then the position function is:

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega t)-1}{3}$

Integrating the velocity equation, we will see that the position equation is:

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega t)-1}{3}$
