A student, standing on a scale in an elevator at rest, sees that his weight is 840 n. as the elevator rises, his weight increase

s to 1050 n, then returns to normal. when the elevator slows to a stop at the 10th floor, his weight drops to 588 n, and then returns to normal. determine the acceleration at the beginning and end of the trip.

<span>1) at rest his weight is 840 N

=> 840N = mass * g => mass = 840 N / g = 840 N / 9.8 m/s^2 = 85.7 kg

2) as the elevator rises, his weight increases to 1050 N,

The reading of the scale is the norma force of it over the body of the person.

And the equation for the force is: Net force = mass * acceleration = normal force - weight at rest

=> mass * acceleration = 1050 N - 840 N = 210 N

acceleration = 210 N / mass = 210 N / 85.7 kg = 2.45 m/s^2 (upward)

3)  when the elevator slows to a stop at the 10th floor, his weight drops to 588 N

=>  mass * acceleration = 588 N - 840 N = - 252 N

=> acceleration = - 252 N / 85.71 kg = - 2.94 m / s^2 (downward)

Answer:

Acceleration at the beginning of the trip 2.45 m/s^2 upward
Acceleration at the end of the trip 2.94 m/s^2 downward

magine two carts, one with twice the mass of the other, that are going to have a head-on collision. In order for the two carts t
scoray [572]

Answer:

Twice as fast

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The mass of less massive cart = m

- The mass of Massive cart = 2m

- The velocity of less massive cart = u

- The velocity of massive cart = v

- We will consider the system of two carts to be isolated and there is no external applied force on the system. This conditions validates the conservation of linear momentum to be applied on the isolated system.

- Each cart with its respective velocity are directed at each other. And meet up with head on collision and comes to rest immediately after the collision.

- The conservation of linear momentum states that the momentum of the system before ( P_i ) and after the collision ( P_f ) remains the same.

                             P_i = P_f

- Since the carts comes to a stop after collision then the linear momentum after the collision ( P_f = 0 ). Therefore, we have:

                             P_i = P_f = 0

- The linear momentum of a particle ( cart ) is the product of its mass and velocity as follows:

                             m*u - 2*m*v = 0

Where,

                 ( u ) and ( v ) are opposing velocity vectors in 1-dimension.

- Evaluate the velcoity ( u ) of the less massive cart in terms of the speed ( v ) of more massive cart as follows:

                          m*u = 2*m*v

                              u = 2*v

Answer: The velocity of less massive cart must be twice the speed of more massive cart for the system conditions to hold true i.e ( they both come to a stop after collision ).

If some electrons are transferred from object A to object B,
Igoryamba

Answer: A. Object A will have a positive charge.

Explanation: If the number of protons and electrons are the same, their net charges cancel each other out, and you have a neutral charge. If electrons are transferred to another object, the amount of positive charge will outweigh the amount of negative charge. As a result, you are left with an overall positive charge in object A. Meanwhile, object B is now negative.
