Lake point tower in chicago is the tallest apartment building in the united states. suppose you take the elevator from street le

vel to the roof of the building. the elevator moves almost the entire distance at constant speed, so that it does 1.15x10^5j of work on you as it lifts the entire distance. if your mass is 60.0 kg how tall is the building.

Using the idea of work done under gravity, the height of the building is 187 m.

<h3>Work done in a gravitational field</h3>

We must recall that the work done in a gravitational field is given by; mgh

m= mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

mass = 60.0 kg

Workdone = 1.15x10^5 J

W = mgh

h = W/mg

h =  1.15x10^5 J/60.0 kg * 9.8 ms-2

h = 187 m

Two identical objects, A and B, are sitting on a table. If the net force on object A is 5 N and the net force on object B is 10
sveta [45]

If the net force on object A is 5 N and the net force on object B is 10 N, then object B will accelerate more quickly than object A provided the mass of both objects are same.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

According to Newton’s second law of motion, any external force applied on an object is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the object. In order to state this law in terms of acceleration, it is stated that acceleration exhibited by any object is directly proportional to the net force applied on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object as shown below:

                      \text {Acceleration of the object } \propto \frac{\text {Net force on the object}}{\text {Mass of the object}}

So if two objects A and B are identical which means they have same mass, then the acceleration attained by the object will be directly proportionate to the net forces exerted on the objects only.

Thus if the force applied is more for one object, then the object will be exhibiting more acceleration compared to the other one. So as object B is experiencing a net force of 10 N which is greater than the net force experiences by object A, then the object B will be accelerating more quickly compared to the object A's acceleration.

Do tides depend more on the strength of gravitational pull or on the difference in strengths? explain.
SSSSS [86.1K]
Tides are influenced by the force of gravity exerted by the earth, moon and the sun. The sun has a larger mass than the moon and as such has a greater gravitational pull on the earth. the moon however has greater influence over the tides because they are caused by the difference in gravity fields. This means that the moon is the dominant influence due to the fact that the fractional difference in its force across the earth is greater than that seen from the sun.

If a block of wood dropped from a tall building has attained a velocity of 78.4 m/s how long has it been falling
ryzh [129]

Gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the speed of a falling object every second.

An object dropped from 'rest' (v = 0) reaches the speed of 78.4 m/s after  falling for (78.4 / 9.8) = <em>8.0 seconds</em> .

<u>Note:</u>

In order to test this, you'd have to drop the object from a really high cell- tower, building, or helicopter.  After falling for 8 seconds and reaching a speed of 78.4 m/s, it has fallen 313.6 meters (1,029 feet) straight down.

The flat roof of the Aon Center . . . the 3rd highest building in Chicago, where I used to work when it was the Amoco Corporation Building . . . is 1,076 feet above the street.

A 150 kg line backer sacks the 120 kg quarterback. With what force is the quarterback sacked if the line backer has an accelerat
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The force required to move the quarterback with linebacker is <u>1215 N</u>

Explanation:

\text { Mass of linebacker } \mathrm{m}_{2}=150 \mathrm{kg}

\text { Mass of quarterback } \mathrm{m}_{2}=120 \mathrm{kg}

\text { Moved at an acceleration }(a)=4.5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

Using Newton's second law, it is established that  F = Ma

Where F is net force acting on the system, a is the acceleration and M is mass of the two object \left(m_{1}+m_{2}\right)

Now consider both \mathrm{m}_{1} \text { and } \mathrm{m}_{2}as a system, so net force acting on the system is \text { Force }=\left(m_{1}+m_{2}\right) a

Substitute the given values in the above formula,

\text { Force }=(150+120) \mathrm{kg} \times 4.5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

\text { Force }=270 \mathrm{kg} \times 4.5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

Force = 1215 N

<u>1215 N </u>is the force required to move the quarterback with linebacker.
