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.

The number of neutrons is equal to the atomic number<br> O A True<br> B. False
jonny [76]

The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons is equal to the difference between the mass number of the atom (M) and the atomic number. Therefore, it is true!

GIVING BRAINLIEST FIVE STARS AND 25 POINTS!
Ne4ueva [31]

Engines can overheat for many reasons. In general, it's because something's wrong within the cooling system and heat isn't able to escape the engine compartment. The source of the issue could include a cooling system leak, faulty radiator fan, broken water pump, or clogged coolant hose.

Hope it helps! Have a nice day or night!

3, A 4kg block is pushed 2m at an acceleration of 0.2m/s square up a vertical wall by a constant force F applied at an angle of
Andrews [41]

The work done by the applied force on the block against the frictional force is 15.75 J.

<h3>Work done by the applied force</h3>

The work done by the applied force is calculated as follows;

W = Fd

F - Ff = ma

where;

  • F is applied force
  • Ff is frictional force

Fcos(37) - μmgsin(37) = ma

Fcos(37) - (0.3)(4)(9.8)sin(37) = 4(0.2)

0.799F - 7.077 = 0.8

F = 9.86 N

W = Fdcosθ

W = 9.86 x 2 x cos(37)

W = 15.75 J

Thus, the work done by the applied force on the block against the frictional force is 15.75 J.
