A. Without doing much math, it can be seen from the graph that the altitude is decreasing. The slope of the position time graph determines velocity, so by comparing the start to the end of the graph, it can be seen that -100m was the change in altitude and 25 seconds was the change in time. Divide -100 by 25 to get -4m/s.

A 570 kg elevator accelerates downwards at 1.5 m/s2 for the first 13 m of its motion.

jeka94

Mass of the elevator (m) = 570 Kg
Acceleration = 1.5 m/s^2
Distance (s) = 13 m
Let the force be F.
We know, F = ma,
Therefore, F = (570 × 1.5) N = 855 N
Angle between distance and force (θ) = 0°
We know, work done = F s Cos θ
Therefore, work done by the cable during this part
= (855 × 13 × Cos 0°) J
= (855 × 13 × 1) J
= 11115 J

Answer:

11115 J

If you are over-driving your headlights and you see an object ahead, you will_____. be given the right-of-way from other vehicle

SashulF [63]

Answer: not be able to stop in time to miss the object

Explanation:

The phrase "Over-driving your headlights" means that a person is driving at such a speed that the vehicle's stopping distance is greater than the maximum viewable distance with the headlights on.

When this occurs, it will be impossible for the vehicle to stop moving in time to avoid an object viewed by the driver in the range of his headlights.

This is a dangerous driving practice and can be avoided by driving at reduced speeds.
