Answer:
Explanation:
Given
mass of object is m
Mass of planet is M
radius of planet is R
Total Energy associated with mass m at a height h above planet is Gravitational Potential Energy which is given by
When it falls on earth with some velocity v
=Kinetic Energy+Potential Energy
As Energy is conserved therefore
The mass is missing. The mass of the elevator is 1650 kg.
Answer:
The tension in the cable is 19387.5 N.
Explanation:
Given:
Initial velocity of the elevator (u) = 0 m/s
Acceleration in the upward direction (a) = 1.95 m/s²
Time taken by the elevator (t) = 2.15 s
Mass of the elevator and persons (m) = 1650 kg
Let the tension in the cable wire be 'T' Newtons.
Now, there are 2 forces acting in the vertical direction. One is tension in the upward direction and the other the weight of the elevator in the downward direction.
As the elevator is accelerating upward, the net force acts in the upward direction.
So, net force on the elevator is given as:
Now, from Newton's second law, net force equals mass times acceleration.
Plug in the given values and solve for 'T'. This gives,
Therefore, the tension in the cable is 19387.5 N.
