Answer: 0.455 m/s^2

Explanation:

f = ma = m x 9.8=689 (the mass is constant)

m = 78.3

now on the elevator

f = 721 = m x a

a= 10.26

the elevator is moving down because there is a increase in weight. the acceleration of elevator = 10.26-9.8 = 0.455

An airplane flying at an altitude of 6 miles passes directly over a radar antenna. When the airplane is 10 miles away (s = 10),
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

altitude of the Plane h=6\ miles

When Airplane is s=10\ miles away

Distance is changing at the rate of \frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}=290\ mph

From diagram we can write as

h^2+x^2=s^2

differentiate above equation w.r.t time

2h\frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} t}+2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=2s\frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}

as altitude is not changing therefore \frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} t}=0

0+x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=s\frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}

at s=10\ miles\ and\ h=6\ miles

substitute the value we get x=\sqrt{10^2-6^2}=8\ miles

8\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=10\times 290

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=362.5\ mph

Bobby places a 4.75 cm tall light bulb a distance of 33.2 cm from a concave mirror. If the mirror has a focal length of 28.2, th
Fittoniya [83]
The image distance can be determined using the mirror equation: 1/f = 1/d_o + 1/d_i, where, f is the focal length, d_o is the object distance, and d_i is the image distance. Given that f = 28.2 and d_o = 33.2 cm, the value of d_i is calculated to be 187.248 cm. On the other hand, the image height is obtained using the magnification equation wherein, h_i/h_o = -d_i/d_o, where h_i is the image height and h_o is the object height. Using the given values, h_i is equal to -26.79 cm. Note that the negative sign indicates that the image is inverted.

What is the resistance of a bulb of 4ow<br>connected in a line of 220v?<br>2​
inn [45]

Answer:

1210 ohm

Explanation:

Given :

P=40 W

V=220 V

Now,

P=\frac{V^{2} }{R} \\40=\frac{(220)^{2} }{R} \\40R=48400\\R=\frac{48400}{40} \\R=1210 ohm

Therefore, resistance of bulb will be 1210 ohm

Which can do work faster-a 700 watt gasoline engine or a 300 watt electric motor
iogann1982 [59]

"700 watts" means 700 joules of work per second.

"300 watts" means 300 joules of work per second.

If the labels on both machines are true, and both machines
are loaded to their full capacity, then the 700-watt engine
is doing work faster than the 300-watt one.
