A lamp hangs vertically from a cord in a descending elevator that decelerates at 1.4 m/s2. (a) If the tension in the cord is 91

N, what is the lamp's mass
Physics

Answer:8.125 kg

Explanation:

Given

deceleration of elevator a=1.4\ m/s^2

suppose T is the tension in the cord

therefore net force on lamp is

F_{net}=T-mg

F_{net}=ma

direction of a and g is in the same direction

T-mg=m(1.4)

T=m(g+a)

m=\dfrac{T}{g+a}

m=\dfrac{91}{9.8+1.4}

m=8.125\ kg

Blake and Sandra are having a rummage sale. Blake drags 3 boxes a distance of 10 meters each. He exerts a force of 20 newtons on
vampirchik [111]
For Blake:

3 boxes at a distance of 10 meters each, each box weighs 20 N

Work done by Blake = 3 * 10m * 20N
                                 = 600 J
Power = 600 J/ 2 min
           = 300 J/min

For Sandra:

4 boxes, 15 N each at a distance of 12 meters each. 

Work done by Sandra = 4 * 15 N *12m
                                    =  720 J
Power = 720 J/ 4 min
           = 180 J/min

Blake does less work than Sandra. 
Blake's power is more than Sandra's.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

  g ≈ 7.4 m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on planet XX is ...

  g = GM/r² = (6.67·10^-11 × 4·10^22)/(6·10^5)^2

  g ≈ 7.4 m/s²

What do the movements of stars and galaxies tell astronomers about how the universe formed?
natulia [17]
This could be Hubble's law, or something related to it. I think there's a possibly Doppler RED SHIFT in the optical spectra of stars etc as observed on the earth. It seems that they are accelerating away from the earth, and that the further away they are the faster they are moving.
It seems that this has been connected to the idea of "The Big Bang" theory of the origin of the universe which seems to have superceded Professor Sir Fred Hoye's Steady State theory of the universe.
There's some Special Relativity in this lot, too.
