A 750-newton person stands in an elevator that is

1 answer:

8 0

When an elevator is accelerating downward, the normal force is equal to mg-ma (hence you feel a little lighter when accelerating downwards)

Therefore, the upward force of the elevator floor on the person must be less than 750N

What are the condition required for reverberation?

Luda [366]

Answer:

Reverberation is created when a sound produced in a sapce is reflected off surfaces, like walls, teh floor or the ceiling. ... The time it takes for this sound in the space to decrease in volume down to 60 decibels (practically silence) after the sound source is extinguished is its reverberation time.

You are tasked with calibrating the springs for a pinball machine. Your method of testing the springs is by attaching masses ont

choli [55]

Answer:

$490.5\ \text{N/m}$

Explanation:

m = Mass attached to spring = 14 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

x = Displacement of spring = $78-50=28\ \text{cm}$

k = Spring constant

The force balance of the system is given by

$kx=mg\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{mg}{x}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{14\times 9.81}{0.28}\\\Rightarrow k=490.5\ \text{N/m}$

The spring constant for that spring is $490.5\ \text{N/m}$ .

You are wearing earbuds or headphones to listen to your music but your family members can hear it as well. They tell you that it

allsm [11]

If it’s loud enough for your family to hear it, it’s best you turn it down. It could cause permanent damage to your ear drums if it’s loud enough and you could start to lose your hearing. So if your family were to tell you to turn it down, you should probably just turn it down!

What will happen if a car experiences a 300 N force to the right from the engine and a separate 150 N force due to friction and

gayaneshka [121]

Force applied on the car due to engine is given as

$F_1 = 300 N$ towards right

Also there is a force on the car towards left due to air drag

$F_2 = 150 N$ towards left

now the net force on the car will be given as

$\vec F_{net} = \vec F_1 + \vec F_2$

now we can say that since the two forces are here opposite in direction so here the vector sum of two forces will be the algebraic difference of the two forces.

So we can say

$F_{net} = F_1 - F_2$

$F_{net} = 300 - 150$

$F_[net} = 150 N$

So here net force on the car will be 150 N towards right and hence it will accelerate due to same force.
