SOVA2 [1]3 years ago

Answer:

Bouyancy

Explanation:

Bouyancy occurs when the upthrust exerted on an object is equal to the weight of object displaced. It is mostly applicable to low density objects for example balloon. When balloon is displaced in water, it floats. This is due to the effect of the upthrust acting on the balloon which allows the balloon to float and which is opposite the weight.

Note that the weight acts downwards the object while the upthrust always acts opposite (upward)

You are designing an elevator for a hospital. The force exerted on a passenger by the floor of the elevator is not to exceed 1.7
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

5.62 m/s

Explanation:

Newton's law of motion can be used to determine the maximum speed of the elevator. In the question, we are given:

Force exerted by the elevator (R) = 1.7 times the weight of the passenger (m*g)

Thus: R = 1.7*m*g

Distance (s) = 2.3 m

Newton's second law of motion: R - m*g = m*a

1.7*m*g - m*g = m*a

a = 0.7*m*g/m = 0.7*g = 0.7*9.8 = 6.86 m/s²

To determine the maximum speed:

v^{2} _{f} = v^{2} _{i} + 2as= 0 + 2(6.86)(2.3) = 31.556

v_{f} = \sqrt{31.556} = 5.62 m/s

Therefore, the elevator maximum speed is equivalent to 5.62 m/s.

Why would decreasing the resistance of wires carrying an electric current
Kay [80]

Because when the resistance will be decreased there will be less collision among electrons and protons and electrons can flow easily do the current can flow easily.
