Answer:

M au = Fs - M g       au = upwards acceleration; Fs = scale reading

Fs = M (au + g)    scalar quantities where g is positive downwards and au is positive upwards - Fs is the net force acting on the person

If the acceleration is zero Fs = M g  and the scale reads the persons weight

If the elevator is decelerating then au is negative and the scale reading     Fs = (g - au) M     and the scale reading is less than the weight of the person

A cheetah can go from the state of rest to running at 20m/s in just two seconds. What is the Cheetahs average acceleration
babymother [125]

acceleration = change in velocity/change in time

so...

a = 20 m/s / 2 seconds

a = 10


hope that helps :)

Jenny and Alyssa are members of the cross-country team. On a training run, Jenny starts off and runs at a constant 3.8 m/s. Alys
guapka [62]

Answer:

285 seconds

Explanation:

Jenny speed is 3.8 m/s

Alyssa speed in 4.0 m/s

Alyssa starts after 15 seconds

Find the distance covered by Jenny, when Alyssa starts

Distance=Speed*time

Distance covered by Jenny in 15 seconds= 3.8×15=57m

Relative speed of the two members heading same direction will be;

4.0m/s-3.8m/s=0.2m/s

To find the time Alyssa catch up with Jenny you divide the distance to be covered by Alyssa by the relative speed of the two

Distance=57m, relative speed=0.2m/s  t=57/0.2 =285 seconds

=4.75 minutes
