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

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Tension= \frac{20g}{3}  (g=acceleration of gravity)

Explanation:

Given that,

A 5Kg and 10Kg are attached by a cable suspended over a pulley.

As 10Kg > 5Kg , the 10 kg mass accelerates down and the 5kg mass accelerates up, let it be a. Let the tension in the cable be T.

So, the equations of motion are

10g-T = 10a

T-5g=5a

Now adding them we get,

5g=15a

a=\frac{g}{3}

Substituting them back in the equation we get,

10g-10(\frac{g}{3} ) = T

T= \frac{20g}{3}

Io experiences tidal heating primarily because __________. hints io experiences tidal heating primarily because __________. io i
maxonik [38]
Lo experiences tidal heating primarily because lo’s elliptical orbit causes the tidal force on lo to vary as it orbits the Jupiter. Thus, lo’s elliptical orbit is essential to its tidal heating. This elliptical orbit, in turn, is an end result of the orbital resonance among lo, Europa and ganymade. This orbital resonance origin lo to have a more elliptical orbit than it would because lo intermittently passes Europa and ganymade in the same orbital position. We cannot perceive tidal forces of tidal heating in lo but rather we foresee that they must occur based on the orbital characteristic of the moons and active volcanoes on lo is the observational evidence that tidal heating is significant in lo.
