The tension in the cables as the elevator travel upwards is 1,960 N.

The given parameters:

  • Mass of the elevator, m = 200 kg

<h3>Newton's second law of motion;</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states that the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the object.

The tension in the cables as the elevator travel upwards is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as shown below;

T = ma + mg

where;

  • a is the acceleration of the elevator
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity

At constant velocity, acceleration is zero (a = 0)

T = m(0) + mg

T = mg

T = 200 x 9.8

T= 1,960 N

Thus, the tension in the cables as the elevator travel upwards is 1,960 N.

a rocket is launched with a constant acceleration straight up. exactly 4.00 seconds after lift off, a bolt falls off the side of
Papessa [141]

The initial speed of the bolt is not 58.86 m/s.  

Let a be the acceleration of the rocket.  

During the 4 sec lift off, the rocket has reached a height of  

h = (1/2)*a*t^2  

with t=4,  

h = (1/2)*a^16  

h = 8*a  

Its velocity at 4 sec is  

v = t*a  

v = 4*a  

The initial velocity of the bolt is thus 4*a.  

During the 6 sec fall, the bolt has the initial velocity V0=-4*a and it drops a total height of h=8*a. From the equation of motion,  

h = (1/2)*g*t^2 + V0*t  

Substituting h0=8*a, t=6 and V0=-4*a into it,  

8*a = (1/2)*g*36 - 4*a*6  

Solving for a  

a = 5.52 m/s^2

How can gravitational energy play an important part of my life
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Well, lets say you park your car on the top of a hill, gravitational energy prevents it from the car falling back. Or a snow pack, aka before a potential avalanche. Though gravity cannot keep it safe forever, gravitational energy keeps it from crashing asap. In this case, it gives you time to escape. Altogether, gravitational force keeps the earth in it's atmosphere.

A viscous liquid is sheared between two parallel disks of radius �, one of which rotates with angular speed Ω, while the other i
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Upper disk rotates at a constant angular velocity. The velocity at any height from stationery disk, say at x metres

U_o=v(\frac {x}{h}) where v is tangential velocity at radius r from the centre of disk

U_o=r\omega (\frac {x}{h})

The radial component of velocity is given as

U_r=0

The z component of velocity is also given as  

W=0

Total velocity, v= r\omega (\frac {x}{h})\hat e_{o}

light of a wavelength 600 nm shines on a soap bubble film. For what soap film thickness will destructive interference occur
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The minimum thickness of the soap bubble for destructive interference to occur is 225.56 nm.

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of light, λ = 600 nm

The minimum thickness of the soap bubble for destructive interference to occur is given by;

t = \frac{\lambda/n}{2}\\\\t = \frac{\lambda}{2n}

where;

n is refractive index of soap film = 1.33

t = \frac{\lambda}{2n} \\\\t = \frac{600*10^{-9}}{2(1.33)}\\\\t = 2.2556 *10^{-7} \ m\\\\t =  225.56 *10^{-9} \ m\\\\t = 225.56 \ nm

Therefore, the minimum thickness of the soap bubble for destructive interference to occur is 225.56 nm.
