A lamp hangs vertically from a cord in a descending elevator that decelerates at 1.7 m/s2. (a) if the tension in the cord is 63
zubka84 [21]

(a)
The formula is: 
∑ F = Weight + T = mass * acceleration 

as the elevator and lamp are moving downward, I choose downward forces to be positive. 
Weight is pulling down = +(9.8 * mass) 
Tension is pulling up, so T = -63 
Acceleration is upward = -1.7 m/s^2 

(9.8 * mass) + -63 = mass * -1.7 
Add +63 to both sides 
Add (mass * 1.7) to both sides 

(9.8 * mass) + (mass * 1.7) = 63 
11.5 * mass = 63

mass = 63 / 11.5 

Mass = 5.48 kg 


(b)
Since the elevator and lamp are going upward, I choose upward forces to be positive. 
Weight is pulling down = -(9.8 * 5.48) = -53.70 
Acceleration is upward, so acceleration = +1.7 


-53.70 + T = 5.48 * 1.7

T = 53.70 + 9.316 = approx 63 N 

The Tension is still the same - 63 N since the same mass, 5.48 kg, is being accelerated upward at the same rate of 1.7 m/s^2

There is a 50 g sample of Ra-229. It has a half-life of 4 minutes.
Sloan [31]

Via half-life equation we have:


A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h} }


Where the initial amount is 50 grams, half-life is 4 minutes, and time elapsed is 12 minutes.  By plugging those values in we get:

A_{final}=50(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{12}{4}=50(\frac{1}{2})^{3}=50(\frac{1}{8})=6.25g


There is 6.25 grams left of Ra-229 after 12 minutes.

Consider a metal single crystal oriented such that the normal to the slip plane and the slip directions are at angles of 43.1° a
Bond [772]

Answer:

resolve shear stress = 22 MPa

Explanation:

Given data

slip plane α = 43.1°

slip directions β = 47.9°

shear stress = 20.7 MPa (3,000 psi)

applied stress =45 mPa (6,500 psi)

to find out

what stress will be necessary

solution

we know that

resolve shear stress = aplied stress × cosα ×  cosβ

resolve shear stress = 45 × cos(43.1) ×  cos(47.9)

resolve shear stress = 22 MPa

we can say that here single cristal will be yield

because resolve shear stress is bigger than critical shear stress

Calculate the amount of heat needed to melt 35.0 g of ice at 0 ºC.Express your answer in kilojoules
PolarNik [594]
The amount of heat will be equal to Lm.

Where L is the latent heat of fusion and m is mass of the ice.

Latent heat of ice = 80cal/g.

So the amount of heat required here will be 35× 80cal

= 2,800 cal.

The basketballs and racquetball eventually stopped bouncing due to the first law. the first law states that an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force. this means that once the 2 balls lose friction, they will remain at rest until acted upon by an external force. once the 2 balls lose friction(energy), they come to a complete stop.
