Answer:
a) 
b) 
Explanation:
Given the information from the exercise we can calculate the work done by the elevator using the following formula:

a) Considering you and your belongings as a system we know that the elevator is applying a Normal reaction force of:

Since the force applied and the displacement is in the same direction, the work done by the elevator is positive

b) The reaction force applied by the elevator is the same as the weight of the person

Since the force applied and the displacement is in opposite direction, the work done by the elevator is negative

Answer:
81.6 m
Explanation:
Answer: 81.6 m.
The time it takes gravity to slow 40 m/s to zero when it teaches maximum height is
-v(initial) / -g = t
-40 m/s / -9.8 m/s^2 = 4.08 s
The height reached is the average velocity times this time 4.08 s, with v(avg) = [v(initial) + v(final)] / 2 with v(final) = 0. v(avg) = v(initial) / 2 = 40 m/s / 2 = 20 m/s.
So the distance d of maximum height is
d = v(avg)•t
d = 20 m/s • 4.08 s = 81.6 m.
Answer:
Local action is removed by amalgamating zinc rod.
Explanation:
This prevents chemical reaction to occur because impurities in the zinc cannot get into contact with an electrolyte.
