A motor is used to operate a lift. There is a man in the lift. The input power of the motor is 6200 watts. The lift and the man

have a total mass of 580 kg. The lift moves up a distance of 12 m in 15 s. Calculate the tension in the cable when the lift is moving at constant speed.

Answer: 8500 N

Explanation:

You are given that the input power of the motor is 6200 watts

Since the man is in the lift, and the lift and the man have a total mass of 580 kg. The power 6200 watt is responsible to move up the lift and the man. Where power is the rate at which work is done. That is

Power = workdone/ time

But workdone = force × distance

Substitute that in power formula

Power = force × distance/time

But distance/time = velocity

Therefore, power is the product of force and velocity. That is,

P = FV

If the lift moves up a distance of 12 m in 15 s, then,

Velocity V = 12/15 = 0.8 m/s

Substitutes V and P into the power formula

6200 = F × 0.8

F = 6200/0.8

F = 8500 N

The calculated force is equal to the tension in the cable when the lift is moving at a constant speed.

Therefore, the tension in the cable is equal to 8500 N

If the distance between two objects decreased, what would happen to the force of gravity between them?
evablogger [386]

Answer: A- It would increase

Explanation:

According to the law of universal gravitation:

F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}  

Where:  

F is the module of the attraction force exerted between both objects

G is the universal gravitation constant.  

m_{1} and m_{2} are the masses of both objects  

r is the distance between both objects

As we can see, the gravity force is directly proportional to the mass of the bodies or objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.

In other words:

<h2>If we decrease the distance between both objects, the gravitational force between them will increase.  </h2>

a nitrogen laser generates a pulse containing 10.0 mj of energy at a wavelength of 340.0 nm. how many photons are in the pulse?
Wewaii [24]

A nitrogen laser generates a pulse containing 10.0 mj of energy at a wavelength of 340.0 nm and has 1785 x 10¹⁹ photons in the pulse.

<h3>How many photons are in the pulse?</h3>

Energy of a single photon is

E=hcλ

E=6.626×10⁻³⁴ J s×3×108 m/s /340×10⁻⁹ m

E=6.31×10⁻¹⁹  J

Number of photons in the laser is

n=Total Energy/Energy per photon

n=10⁷×10⁻³J /5.90×10⁻¹⁹J/photon

n= 1785 x 10¹⁹ photons
