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

of 30.0 m. During the collision at the bottom of the elevator shaft, a 94.0 kg passenger is stopped in 6.00 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? If the passenger were to jump upward with a speed of 8.00 m/s relative to the cab floor just before the cab hits the bottom of the shaft, what are the magnitudes of the (c) impulse and (d) average force (assuming the same stopping time)?

Answer:

a)   I = 2279.5 N s , b) F = 3.80 10⁵ N, c)   I = 3125.5 N s  and d)  F = 5.21 10⁵ N

Explanation:

The impulse is equal to the variation in the amount of movement.

    I =∫ F dt = Δp

     I = mv_{f} - m v₀

Let's calculate the final speed using kinematics, as the cable breaks the initial speed is zero

   v_{f}² = V₀² - 2g y

   v_{f}² = 0 - 2 9.8 30.0

   v_{f} = √588

   v_{f} = 24.25 m/s

a) We calculate the impulse

   I = 94 24.25 - 0

   I = 2279.5 N s

b) Let's join the other expression of the impulse to calculate the average force

   I = F t

  F = I / t

  F = 2279.5 / 6 10⁻³

  F = 3.80 10⁵ N

just before the crash the passenger jumps up with v = 8 m / s, let's take the moments of interest just when the elevator arrives with a speed of 24.25m/s down and as an end point the jump up to vf = 8 m / n

c)     I = m v_{f} - m v₀

       I = 94 8 - 94 (-24.25)

       I = 3125.5 N s

d)     F = I / t

       F = 3125.5 / 6 10⁻³

       F = 5.21 10⁵ N

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

time of collision is

t = 0.395 s

h = 5.63 m

so they will collide at height of 5.63 m from ground

Explanation:

initial speed of the ball when it is dropped down is

v_1 = 0

similarly initial speed of the object which is projected by spring is given as

v_2 = 16.2 m/s

now relative velocity of object with respect to ball

v_r = 16.2 m/s

now since we know that both are moving under gravity so their relative acceleration is ZERO and the relative distance between them is 6.4 m

d = v_r t

6.4 = 16.2 t

t = 0.395 m

Now the height attained by the object in the same time is given as

h = v_2 t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

h = 16.2(0.395) - \frac{1}{2}(9.81).395^2

h = 5.63 m

so they will collide at height of 5.63 m from ground

Answer:

An object that is moving wants to stay moving in a straight line. It takes an outside force acting upon it to change its direction or cause an acceleration.

A box is hanging from two strings. String #1 pulls up and left, making an angle of 50° with the horizontal on the left, and stri
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

mb = 3.75 kg

Explanation:

System of forces in balance

ΣFx =0  

ΣFy = 0

Forces acting on the box

T₁ : Tension in string 1 ,at angle of 50° with the horizontal on the left

T₂  = 40 N : Tension in string 2, at angle of 75° with the horizontal on the right.

Wb :Weightt of the box (vertical downward)

x-y T₁ and T₂ components

T₁x= T₁cos50°

T₁y= T₁sin50°

T₂x= 30*cos75° = 7.76 N

T₂y= 30*sin75° = 28.98 N

Calculation of the Wb

ΣFx = 0  

T₂x-T₁x = 0

T₂x=T₁x

7.76 = T₁cos50°

T₁ = 7.76 /cos50° = 12.07 N

ΣFy = 0  

T₂y+T₁y-Wb = 0

28.98 + 12.07(cos50°) = Wb

Wb = 36.74 N

Calculation of the mb ( mass of the box)

Wb = mb* g

g: acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

mb = Wb/g

mb = 36.74 /9.8

mb = 3.75 kg
