Answer:

W=1705.2 J

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m= 60 kg

Acceleration due to gravity ,g= 9.8 m/s²

Height ,h= 2.9 m

As we know that work done by a force given as

W = F . d

F=force

d=Displacement

W=work done by force

Now by putting the values

F= m g (Acting downward  )

d= h  (Upward)

W= m g h    ( work done against the force)

W= 60 x 9.8 x 2.9 J

W=1705.2 J

Therefore the answer will be 1705.2 J.

An elevator filled with passengers has a mass of 1603 kg. (a) The elevator accelerates upward from rest at a rate of 1.20 m/s2 f
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

T = 17649.03 N = 17.65 KN

Explanation:

The tension in the cable must be equal to the apparent weight of the passenger. For upward acceleration:

T = W_A = m(g+a)\\

where,

T = Tension in cable = ?

W_A = Apparent weight

m = mass = 1603 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = acceleration of elevator = 1.2 m/s²

Therefore,

T = (1603\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2+1.2\ m/s^2)\\\\

<u>T = 17649.03 N = 17.65 KN</u>

If a t-shirt gun can fire t-shirts with an initial speed of 15 m/s, what is the maximum distance (along horizontal, flat ground)
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

h = 11.47 m

Explanation:

Initial speed pf the t-shirt gun is 15 m/s

We need to find the maximum distance covered by the t-shirt. It is based on the conservation of energy. The maximum distance covered is given by :

h=\dfrac{u^2}{2g}\\\\h=\dfrac{(15)^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\h=11.47\ m

So, it will cover a distance of 11.47 m.
