Answer:

F = M a is the vector equation involved

F = T - M g are the forces acting on the elevator (scalar equation)

T - M g = M a

T = M (a + g) remember this a scalar

If a is slowing down then it must have a positive acceleration upwards

Therefor the tension in the cable must be greater than zero

When the tension increases to M g, a has increased to zero

For a to be zero, no acceleration, T = M g

A 0.10-kg ball, traveling horizontally at 25 m/s, strikes a wall and rebounds at 19 m/s. What is the 7) magnitude of the change

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Change in momentum will be -4.4 kgm/sec

So option (A) is correct option

Explanation:

Mass of the ball is given m = 0.10 kg

Initial velocity of ball $v_1=25m/sec$

And velocity after rebound $v_2=-19m/sec$

We have to find the change in momentum

So change in momentum is equal to $=m(v_2-v_1)=0.1\times (-19-25)=-4.4kgm/sec$ ( here negative sign shows only direction )

So option (A) will be correct answer

A force vector has a magnitude of 599 newtons and points at an angle of 40.8° below the positive x axis. What is the x scalar co

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

$F_{x}=453.44N$

Explanation:

Given data

Force F=599 N

Angle α=40.8°

To find

x scalar component

Solution

The Scalar x component can be found by

$F_{x}=FCos\alpha \\F_{x}=599Cos(40.8)\\F_{x}=453.44N$

The Scalar y component can be found by

$F_{y}=-FSin\alpha \\F_{y}=-599Sin(40.8)\\F_{y}=-391.4N$
