How many (whole number of) 91 kg people

Physics
2 answers:
Tcecarenko [31]3 years ago
6 0

We are given that the maximum mass capacity is 1 metric ton or 1000 kg. Therefore the amount of people this can hold is simply the ratio of the maximum mass capacity over the mass of the person, that is:

people = 1000 kg / 91 kg

people = 10.98

 

So the elevator can safely occupy 10 people. We will not exceed to 11.

Answer:

<h2>10 people.</h2>

Explanation:

Gives

  • The elevator can hold a maximum weight of 1 metric ton.
  • 1 metric ton is equivalen to 1000 kilograms, or which is the same 1.000 \times 10^{3} \ kg.
  • Each person weighs 91 kg.

To know the number of people that can safely occupy the elevator, we just need to divide

\frac{1000 \ kg}{91 \ kg} \approx 10

Therefore, around 10 people can safely occupy the elevator.

Notice that we can round the number to 11, because we cannot do that in real life with people. The decimal number is 10.98, but we there can't ve 10.98 people, because we can't have there a part of a person.

Therefore, the answer is 10 people.

Which of the following ocean motions are powered by the wind? waves tides surface currents deep ocean currents
Effectus [21]

At the entrance of most beaches, there is a bulletin board with notices about water conditions: maybe a faded sign warning about rip currents and a list of this week's tide tables. Most people pass them by without a second thought, but if you want to enter the ocean, it is important to know its movements, whether to avoid being caught in a riptide or to figure out when the waves will be at their best.


Hope this helps

How high would the level be in a gasoline barometer at normal atmospheric pressure?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

h = 13.06 m

Explanation:

Given:

- Specific gravity of gasoline S.G = 0.739

- Density of water p_w = 997 kg/m^3

- The atmosphere pressure P_o = 101.325 KPa

- The change in height of the liquid is h m

Find:

How high would the level be in a gasoline barometer at normal atmospheric pressure?

Solution:

- When we consider a barometer setup. We dip the open mouth of an inverted test tube into a pool of fluid. Due to the pressure acting on the free surface of the pool, the fluid starts to rise into the test-tube to a height h.

- The relation with the pressure acting on the free surface and the height to which the fluid travels depends on the density of the fluid and gravitational acceleration as follows:

                                         P = S.G*p_w*g*h

Where,                              h = P / S.G*p_w*g

- Input the values given:

                                         h = 101.325 KPa / 0.739*9.81*997

                                         h = 13.06 m

- Hence, the gasoline will rise up to the height of 13.06 m under normal atmospheric conditions at sea level.

A boat, whose speed in still water is 2.50 m/s, must cross a 285-m wide river and arrive at a point 118m upstream from where it
son4ous [18]

The figure shows the arrangement of system

The velocity of boat can be resolved in to two

     Horizontal component  = vcos θ = 2.50 cos 45 = 1.768 m/s

     Vertical component  = vsin θ = 2.50 sin 45 = 1.768 m/s

   Due to horizontal component the boat arrive arrives upstream,

           Total horizontal velocity =  1.768 - Vr, where Vr is the velocity of river.

  Total time taken to cross the river = width of river/ Vertical component of velocity

                         t = 285/1.768 = 161.20 seconds

So 118 meter is traveled at a velocity of 1.768-Vr in 161.20 seconds

That is           118 = (1.768-Vr)*161.20

                     1.768 - Vr =0.732

                         Vr = 1.036 m/s

So velocity of river flow =1.036 m/s
