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

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular t
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=m₂ = m

m₃ = 2 m

Given that speed of the two pieces

u₁=- 25 j m/s

u₂ =- 25 i m/s

Lets take the speed of the third mass = v m/s

From linear momentum conservation

Pi= Pf

0 = m₁u₁+m₂u₂ + m₃ v

0 = -25 j m  - 25 i m + 2 m v

2 v=25 j   + 25 i m/s

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Therefore the speed of the third mass will be v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

How long will it take a 2190 W motor to lift a 1.47 x 104 g box, 6.34 x 104 mm vertically.​
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

4.2s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Power = 2190W

Mass of box = 1.47 x 10⁴g

distance  = 6.34 x 10⁴mm

Unknown:

Time  = ?

Solution:

Power is the rate at which work is done;

 Mathematically;

        Power  = \frac{work done}{time}  

   Time  = \frac{work done}{power}  

 Work done  = weight x height

 convert mass to kg;

     100g = 1kg;

           1.47 x 10⁴g  = 14.7kg

convert the height to m;

          1000mm = 1m

          6.34 x 10⁴mm gives 63.4m

  Work done  = 14.7 x 9.8 x 63.4 = 9133.4J

  Time taken = \frac{9133.4}{2190}   = 4.2s
