The earth exerts a force of 500 newtons on an object what is the mass of the object in kg

1 answer:

5 0

Weight (that's what the 500 N is) = (mass) x (gravity) .

On Earth, gravity = about 9.8 m/s² , so

   500 N = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²) .

Divide each side by 9.8 m/s²:

   Mass = (500 N) / (9.8 m/s²)

=    51 kg (rounded) .

A 1000 kg elevator accelerates upward at 1.0 m/s2 for 10 m, starting from rest. a. How much work does gravity do on the elevator

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

a)= 98kJ

b)=108kJ

c) = 10kJ

Explanation:

a. The work that is done by gravity on the elevator is:

Work = force * distance

= mass * gravity * distance

= 1000 * 9.81 * 10

= 98,000 J

= 98kJ

b)The net force equation in the cable

T - mg = ma

T = m(g+a)

T = 1000(9.8 + 10)

T = 10800N

The work done by the cable is

W = T × d

= 10800N × 10

= 108000

=108kJ

c) PE at 10m = 1000 * 9.81 * 10 = 98,100 J

Work done by cable = PE +KE

108,100 J = KE + 98,100 J

KE = 10,000 J

= 10kJ

A piece of wire 29 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral tria

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Total length of the wire is 29 m.

Let the length of one piece is d and of another piece is 29 - d.

Let d is used to make a square.

And 29 - d is used to make an equilateral triangle.

(a)

Area of square = d²

Area of equilateral triangle = √3(29 - d)²/4

Total area,

$A = d^{2}+\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\left ( 29-d \right )^{2}$

Differentiate both sides with respect to d.

$\frac{dA}{dt}=2d- \frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times 2(29-d)$

For maxima and minima, dA/dt = 0

d = 8.76 m

Differentiate again we get the

$\frac{d^{2}A}{dt^{2}}= + ve$

(a) So, the area is maximum when the side of square is 29 m

(b) so, the area is minimum when the side of square is 8.76 m
