An elevator held by a single cable is ascending but slowing down. Is the work done by tension positive, negative, or zero? What

about the work done by gravity? Explain
Physics
1 answer:
inessss [21]2 years ago

Explanation:

1.) Work = Force*Distance

2.) The direction of motion lies in the same direction as the tension in the cable. So the work done by tension would be positive.

3.) The direction of the weight (due to gravity) would act opposite to the direction of motion of the elevator, so work done by gravity becomes negative.

You are provided with three polarizers with filters making angles of (A) 90 ​∘ ​​ , (B) 180 ​∘ ​​ and (C) −45 ​∘ ​​ with respect
irinina [24]

Answer:

Order of maximum transmission of the polarizer is A, C and B.

Solution:

As per the question:

For the first polarizer, the angle is quite insignificant:

(A) 90^{\circ}:

The light intensity after passing through the first polarizer is I_{o} and this intensity does not depend on the angle of the polarizer.

Consider 90^{\circ} with the vertical, the intensity is given by:

I = I_{o}cos^{2}90^{\circ}

I = I_{o}cos(2(45^{\circ})) = I_{o}(\frac{1+cos90^{\circ})}{2} = \frac{I_{o}}{2}

(B) 180^{\circ}:

Suppose the second polarizer is  45^{\circ} with the vertical.

Now, intensity through the second polarizer:

I' = Icos^{2}(\theta_{2} - \theta_{1}) = \frac{I_{o}}{2}cos^{2}(- 45 - 90)

I' =  \frac{I_{o}}{2}cos^{2}135^{\circ} = \frac{I_{o}}{4}

Now, if we consider the second polarizer to be 180^{\circ},

I' = \frac{I_{o}}{2}cos^{2}180^{\circ} = \frac{I_{o}}{2}cos^{2}(180^{\circ} - 90^{\circ}) = 0

(C) - 45^{\circ}:

Now,

Intensity through the third polarizer, if it is 180^{\circ} with the vertical:

I' = Icos^{2}(\theta_{2} - \theta_{1}) = \frac{I_{o}}{2}cos^{2}(180 - (- 45))

I' = \frac{I_{o}}{8}

What is the best approximate value for the elastic potential energy (EPE) of the spring elongated by 3.0 meters?
DIA [1.3K]

The elastic potential energy of the spring is 6.8 J

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of a compressed/stretched spring is given by the equation:

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where

k is the spring constant

x is the elongation of the spring

The spring constant of the spring in this problem can be found by keeping in mind the relationship between force (F) and elongation (x) (Hooke's law):

F=kx

By looking at the graph and comparing it with the formula, we realize that the slope of the force-elongation graph corresponds to the spring constant. Therefore in this case,

k=\frac{15.0-0}{10.0-0}=1.5 N/m

Therefore when the spring has a elongation of x=3.0 m, its potential energy is

E=\frac{1}{2}(1.5)(3.0)^2=6.8 J

A mass on the end of a spring undergoes simple harmonic motion. At the instant when the mass is at its maximum displacement from
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

C. At maximum displacement, its instantaneous acceleration is also at maximum.

Explanation:

Lets take

The general equation of the SHM  

Displacement

x= A sinω t

velocity

V=  Aω cosω t

Acceleration

a= -Aω² sinω t

Form the above we can say that displacement and the acceleration are in the same phase.

Therefore when displacement is maximum then acceleration also will be maximum.

Therefore the answer is C.

Consider 3.5 kg of austenite containing 0.95 wt% c and cooled to below 727°c (1341°f). (a) what is the proeutectoid phase? (b) h
vladimir2022 [97]
A. The proeutectoid phase is Fe₃c because 0.95 wt/c  is greater than the eutectoid composition which is 0.76 wt/c

b.  We determine how much total territe and cementite form, we apply the lever rule expressions yields.
Wx = (fe₃c-co/cfe₃ c-cx = 6.70- 0.95/6.70- 0.022 = 0.86
The total cementite
Wfe₃C = 10-Cx/ Cfe₃c -Cx = 0.95 - 0.022/6.70 - 0.022 = 0.14
The total cementite which is formed is 
(0.14) × (3.5kg) = 0.49kg

c.  We calculate the pearule and the procutectoid phase which cementite form the equation
Ci = 0.95 wt/c
Wp = 6.70 -ci/6.70 - 0.76 = 6.70 -0.95/6.70 - 0.76 = 0.97
0.97 corresponds to mass.
W fe₃ C¹ = Ci - 0.76/5.94 = 0.03
∴ It is equivalent to 
(0.03) × (3.5) = 0.11kg of total of 3.5kg mass.
