A boy weighing 445 N swings on a 2-m long swing. If his horizontal speed at the lowest point is 3 m/s, what total force must the

ropes holding the swing be able to withstand?

Explanation:

We need to calculate the centripetal force:

Fc = W + F

With Fc being the centripetal force, W the weight of the boy, F the centrifugal force (apparent).

We know that we can calculate the apparent centrifugal force thank to the formula:

F = (m·v²)/r = 204N

So we can write:

Fc = W + F = 445N + 204N = 649N

An elevator motor provides 45.0 kW of power while lifting an elevator 35.0 m. If the elevator contains seven passengers each wit
mylen [45]

Find how much work ∆<em>W</em> is done by the motor in lifting the elevator:

<em>P</em> = ∆<em>W</em> / ∆<em>t</em>

where

• <em>P</em> = 45.0 kW = power provided by the motor

• ∆<em>W</em> = work done

• ∆<em>t</em> = 20.0 s = duration of time

Solve for ∆<em>W</em> :

∆<em>W</em> = <em>P</em> ∆<em>t</em> = (45.0 kW) (20.0 s) = 900 kJ

In other words, it requires 900 kJ of energy to lift the elevator and its passengers. The combined mass of the system is <em>M</em> = (<em>m</em> + 490.0) kg, where <em>m</em> is the mass of the elevator alone. Then

∆<em>W</em> = <em>M</em> <em>g h</em>

where

• <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² = acceleration due to gravity

• <em>h</em> = 35.0 m = distance covered by the elevator

Solve for <em>M</em>, then for <em>m</em> :

<em>M</em> = ∆<em>W</em> / (<em>g h</em>) = (900 kJ) / ((9.80 m/s²) (35.0 m)) ≈ 2623.91 kg

<em>m</em> = <em>M</em> - 490.0 kg ≈ 2133.91 kg ≈ 2130 kg

Which would melt first, germanium with a melting point of 1210 k or gold with a melting point of 1064oc?
iren2701 [21]
<span>Germanium To determine which melts first, convert their melting temperatures so they're both expressed on same scale. It doesn't matter what scale you use, Kelvin, Celsius, of Fahrenheit. Just as long as it's the same scale for everything. Since we already have one substance expressed in Kelvin and since it's easy to convert from Celsius to Kelvin, I'll use Kelvin. So convert the melting point from Celsius to Kelvin for Gold by adding 273.15 1064 + 273.15 = 1337.15 K So Germanium melts at 1210K and Gold melts at 1337.15K. Germanium has the lower melting point, so it melts first.</span>
