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

How does the input distance of a single fixed pulley compare to the out- put distance?
ololo11 [35]

A pulley is another sort of basic machine in the lever family. We may have utilized a pulley to lift things, for example, a banner on a flagpole.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The point in a fixed pulley resembles the support of a lever. The remainder of the pulley behaves like the fixed arm of a first-class lever, since it rotates around a point. The distance from the fulcrum is the equivalent on the two sides of a fixed pulley. A fixed pulley has a mechanical advantage of one. Hence, a fixed pulley doesn't increase the force.

It essentially alters the direction of the force. A moveable pulley or a mix of pulleys can deliver a mechanical advantage of more than one. Moveable pulleys are appended to the item being moved. Fixed and moveable pulleys can be consolidated into a solitary unit to create a greater mechanical advantage.

What is the change in internal energy of the system (∆U) in a process in which 10 kJ of heat energy is absorbed by the system an
Trava [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to first law of thermodynamics:

∆U= q + w

= 10kj+(-70kJ)

-60kJ

, w = + 70 kJ

(work done on the system is positive)

q = -10kJ ( heat is given out, so negative)

∆U = -10 + (+70) = +60 kJ

Thus, the internal energy of the system decreases by 60 kJ.

The forklift exerts a 1,500.0 N force on the box and moves it 3.00 m forward to the stack. How much work does the forklift do ag
allochka39001 [22]
In order to get the propoerty of work you need to use the following formula
 <span>work = force times distance
</span>replacing data you will get:
W = (1.500) (3)
W =  4.500 NM
The answer should be in NM. So it will be 4500 NM againts the force of gravity
