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 car travels 200km in 3.0 hours. Determine the average velocity of the car
Masja [62]

Answer:

<h2>66.67 km/hr</h2>

Explanation:

The average velocity of the car can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{d}{t }  \\

d is the distance

t is the time taken

From the question we have

a =  \frac{200}{3}  \\  = 66.66666...

We have the final answer as

<h3>66.67 km/hr</h3>

Hope this helps you

If you swim from one point at the edge of the pool to another, along a straight line, what is the longest distance d you can swi
ddd [48]

Long straight distance that a person can swim is 5.64 m.

<h3>What is the Long straight distance?</h3>

The line that runs form one end of the circle to another is called the diameter of the circle. The pool is a circle according to the question and the long straight distance that a person can swim is the same of the diameter of the circular pool.

Now we have;

A =  πr^2

A = area of pool

r  = radius of pool

r = √A/ π

r = √25/3.142

r = 2.82m

Diameter of the circular pool = 2 r = 2 (2.82 cm) = 5.64 m
