Jumping up before the elevator hits. After the cable snaps and the safety system fails, an elevator cab free-falls from a height

of 36.0 m. During the collision at the bottom of the elevator shaft, a 85.0 kg passenger is stopped in 5.00 ms. (Assume that neither the passenger nor the cab rebounds.) What are the magnitudes of the (a) impulse and (b) average force on the passenger during the collision

Answer:

a) I = -2257.6 Kg*m/s

b) F = -451,520N

Explanation:

part a.

we know that:

I = P_f-P_i

where I is the impulse, P_f the final momentum and P_i the initial momentum.

so:

I = MV_f-MV_i

where M is the mass, V_f the final velocity and V_i the initial velocity.

Therefore, we have to find the initial velocity or the velocity of the passenger just before the collition.

now, we will use the law of the conservation of energy:

E_i=E_f

so:

mgh = \frac{1}{2}MV_i^2

where g is the gravity and h the altitude. So, replacing values, we get:

(85kg)(9.8m/s^2)(36m)= \frac{1}{2}(85kg)V_i^2

solving for V_i:

V_i = 26.56m/s

Then, replacing in the initial equation:

I = MV_f-MV_i

I = (85kg)(0m/s)-(85kg)(26.56m/s)

I = -2257.6 Kg*m/s

Then, the impulse is -2257.6 Kg*m/s, it is negative because it is upwards.

part b.

we know that:

Ft = I

where F is the average force, t is the time and I is the impulse. So, replacing values, we get:

F(0,005s) = -2257.6 Kg*m/s

solving for F:

F = -451520N

Finally, the force is -451,520N, it is negative because it is upwards.

Art [367]
The answer is :  We’ll see the bell move, but we won’t hear it ring.  This is    because light can travel through vacuum but sound cannot.  Sound waves are vibrations of particles in any media, so sound requires a medium to travel, and it cannot travel in a vacuum as there is no particles to vibrate.

Answer:

I think they use it at night because they want to avoid involving themselves in road accident while crossing the street. When there are reflective strips on their clothes, drivers do notice them even at far ends of the street since the strips will reflect the rays from the car lights to the driver,hence, the driver notifies that there is a pedestrian crossing and therefore slows down.

Explain why it takes more energy to remove the second electron from a lithium atom than it does to remove the fourth electron fr
slava [35]
It takes more energy to remove the second electron from a lithium atom than it does to remove the fourth electron from a carbon atom because its inner core e, not valence e. C's 4th removed e is still a valence e. And also <span>because more nuclear charge acting on the second electron, it is more close to the nucleus, thus the the protons attract it more than the 4th electron.</span>
