The magnitude of the acceleration of the elevator is 90m/s^2

Due to Newton's Law ∑ Forces in direction of motion is equal to mass

multiplied by the acceleration

We have here two forces 5000 N in direction of motion and the weight of the person in opposite direction of motion

The weight of the person is his mass multiplied by the acceleration of gravity

So ,

W = mg , where m is the mass and g is the acceleration of gravity

m = 50 kg and g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values in the rule above

W = 50 × 9.8 = 490 N

The scale reads 5000 N

F = 5000 N , W = 490 N , m = 50kg

F - W = ma

5000 - 490 = 50 a

4510 = 50 a

Divide both sides by 50

a = 90.2 m/s²

Hence the acceleration is 90m/s^2

Three masses are located in the x-y plane as follows: a mass of 6 kg is located at (0 m, 0 m), a mass of 4 kg is located at (3 m
Natali [406]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

D. (1m, 0.5m)

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The center of mass (or center of gravity) of a system of particles is the point where the weight acts when the individual particles are replaced by a single particle of equivalent mass. For the three masses, the coordinates of the center of mass C(x, y) is given by;

x = (m₁x₁ + m₂x₂ + m₃x₃) / M       ----------------(i)

y = (m₁y₁ + m₂y₂ + m₃y₃) / M       ----------------(ii)

Where;

M = sum of the masses

m₁ and x₁ = mass and position of first mass in the x direction.

m₂ and x₂ = mass and position of second mass in the x direction.

m₃ and x₃ = mass and position of third mass in the x direction.

y₁ , y₂ and y₃ = positions of the first, second and third masses respectively in the y direction.

From the question;

m₁ = 6kg

m₂ = 4kg

m₃ = 2kg

x₁ = 0m

x₂ = 3m

x₃ = 0m

y₁ = 0m

y₂ = 0m

y₃ = 3m

M = m₁ + m₂ + m₃ = 6 + 4 + 2 = 12kg

Substitute these values into equations (i) and (ii) as follows;

x = ((6x0) + (4x3) + (2x0)) / 12

x = 12 / 12

x = 1 m  

y = (6x0) + (4x0) + (2x3)) / 12

y = 6 / 12

y = 0.5m

Therefore, the center of mass of the system is at (1m, 0.5m)

A research team developed a robot named Ellie. Ellie ran 1,000 meters for 200 seconds from the research building, rested for 100
Verizon [17]

Answer:

1. Running velocity (5 m/s)

2. Resting velocity (0 m/s)

3. Walking velocity (-1 m/s)

1. Running speed (5 m/s)

2. Walking speed (1 m/s)

3. Resting speed (0 m/s)

Explanation:

Attached you will find the plot of position vs time of Ellie´s movement.

The velocity is the displacement of the object over time relative to the system of reference. The speed, in change, is the traveled distance over time in disregard of the system of reference.

So, the velocity is calculated as follows:

v = Δx / Δt

where

Δx = final position - initial position

Δt = elapsed time

1) The average velocity of Ellie while running is:

v = 1000 m - 0 m / 200 s = 5 m/s

While resting:

v = 0 m - 0 m / 100 s = 0 m/s

And while walking back:

v = 0 m - 1000 m / 1000 s = - 1 m/s

Note that in this last case, the initial position is 1000 m because Ellie is 1000 m from the origin of the system of reference when she walks back. The final position will be the origin of the system of reference, 0 m.

Comparing with the graphic, the velocity is the slope of the function position(t).

Then:

1. Running velocity (5 m/s)

2. Resting velocity (0 m/s)

3. Walking velocity (-1 m/s)

2) The speed is the distance traveled over time:

Running speed = 1000 m / 200 s = 5m /s

Resting speed = 0 m / 100 s = 0 m/s

Walking speed = 1000 m/ 1000 s = 1 m/s

Then:

1. Running speed (5 m/s)

2. Walking speed (1 m/s)

3. Resting speed (0 m/s)

A __________ provides a visual summary of the improvements that a data mining project provides on a binary classification proble
babymother [125]

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

A lift chart usually refers to a graphical representation that is mainly used in order to improve the drawbacks of a mining model by making a comparison with any random guess, and also helps in determining the changes that occur in terms of lift scores.

It describes the binary classification of the problems associated with the mining activity. This type of chart is commonly used to differentiate the lift scores for a variety of models, and picking the best one out of all.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
