A heavy steel cable attached to a motor is lifting a girder. The girder is speeding up.

Physics
1 answer:
Yanka [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: part a) both the tension and gravity vectors will be pointing downwards.

part b) the tension vector will be pointing upwards and the gravity will be pointing downwards.

Explanation:

part a) Since you are looking at the FBD for the steel cable here, the tension will be pointing downwards because the girder is hung from the cable which creates a downwards tension. Gravity will always point downwards, to the ground.

part b) Since you are looking at the FBD for the girder here, the tension will be pulled upwards because the cable is weighted which creates an upwards tension. Gravity will always point downwards, to the ground.

Sorry for the poor explanation, but hopefully this makes sense.

A motor must lift a 1500-kg elevator cab. The cab's maximum occupant capacity is 400 kg, and its constant "cruising" speed is 1.
natka813 [3]

Answer:

12900 W

24200 W

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 1.3 m/s

t = 2.0 s

Find: a and Δx

v = at + v₀

(1.3 m/s) = a (2.0 s) + (0 m/s)

a = 0.65 m/s²

Δx = ½ (v + v₀) t

Δx = ½ (1.3 m/s + 0 m/s) (2.0 s)

Δx = 1.3 m

While accelerating:

Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

F − mg = ma

F = m (g + a)

F = (1500 kg + 400 kg) (9.8 m/s² + 0.65 m/s²)

F = 19855 N

Power = work / time

P = W / t

P = Fd / t

P = (19855 N) (1.3 m) / (2.0 s)

P ≈ 12900 W

At constant speed:

Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

F − mg = 0

F = mg

F = (1500 kg + 400 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

F = 18620 N

Power = work / time

P = W / t

P = Fd / t

P = Fv

P = (18620 N) (1.3 m/s)

P ≈ 24200 W

How does an objects size affect the gravity exerted by that object​
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The size of an object is directly proportional to the gravity

Explanation:

The size of an object has significant impact on the gravity exerted by such a body.

The more massive a body is, the larger the gravity it exerts.

The reason for this is because of the newton's law of universal gravitation.

  • It states that "the gravitational force between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distances between them".
  • As such, gravity is directly proportional to mass

Two workers pull horizontally on a heavy box but one pulls twice as hard as the other. The larger pull is directed at 25.0 west
icang [17]
1) Call  F1 the larger force and F1x and F1y its its x-and-y- components.respectively.

I will use the complementary angle: 90 - 25 = 65 to work with the normal convention.

=> cos(65) = F1x / F1 => F1x = - F1*cos(65) (I choose negative as the west direction)

=> sin(65) = F1y / F1 => F1y = F1*sin(65) (I choose positive the north direction)

2) Call F2 the shorter force and F2x and F2y its components

=> cos(x) = F2x / F2 => F2x = F2*cos(x)

=> sin(x) = F2y / F2=> F2y = F2*sin(x)

3) You know that:

- F1 = 2F2
- The net force in the y direction is 430 N
- The net force in the x direction is 0

a)  F1x + F2x = 0

=>  -F1*cos(65) + F2*sin(x) = 0

=> F1*cos(65) = F2 sin(x) => sin(x) = [F1/F2] cos(65)

Remember F1 = 2F2 => F1/F2 = 2 => sin(x) = 2 cos(65) = 0.84524

=> x = arcsin(0.84524) =  57.7


b) F1y + F2y = 430 =>

F1 sin(65) + F2*sin(57.7) = 430 =>

0.9060F1 + 0.84524F2 430

F1 = 2F2 => 0.9060*2F2 + 0.84524F2 = 430 => 1.7512F2 = 430

=> F2 = 430 / 1.7512 = 245.54 N

=> F1 = 2*245.54 =491.1N

There you have the two forces.

The angle of the shorter force is 57.7 measured from the east to the north (this is north of east),  which would be 90 - 57.7 = 32.3 degrees east of north..

 Then the shorter force is 245.5 N at 32.3 degrees east of north

And the larger force is 491.1 N at 25.0 degrees west of north.
