The apparent weight of the passenger at $t=1\text{ s}$ will be $\boxed{1035\text{ N}}$ .

Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the passenger is $75\text{ kg}$ .

Concept:

The velocity-time graph of the passenger in an elevator represents the variation of the velocity of the elevator at different instants.

The slope of the velocity time graph of the elevator represents the acceleration and since the velocity-time graph has uniform increasing slope during first two seconds of its motion.

The acceleration of the elevator in the first two seconds is given by:

$a=\dfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{v_2-v_1}{t_2-t_1}$

Substitute the initial and final velocity and time in above expression.

$\begin{aligned}a&=\dfrac{8-0}{2-0}\\&=4\text{ m/s}^2}\end{aligned}$

The apparent weight of the passenger standing in an accelerating elevator is given by.

$W=m(g+a)$

Here, $m$ is the mass of the passenger, $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.

The acceleration remains constant from time $0\text{ s to }2\text{ s}$ as the slope is constant.

Substitute the values in equation of weight.

$\begin{aligned}W&=75(9.8+4)\text{ N}\\&=1035\text{ N}\end{aligned}$

Thus, the apparent weight of the passenger at $t=1\text{ s}$ is $\boxed{1035\text{ N}}$ .

Answer:

For the complete question provided in explanation, if the elevator moves upward, then the apparent weight will be 1035 N. While for downward motion the apparent weight will be 435 N.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. The complete question contains a velocity graph provided in the attachment. This is the velocity graph for an elevator having a passenger of 75 kg.

From the slope of graph it is clear that acceleration at t = 1 sec is given as:

Acceleration = a = (4-0)m/s / (1-0)s = 4 m/s^2

Now, there are two cases:

1- Elevator moving up

2- Elevator moving down

For upward motion:

Apparent Weight = m(g + a)

Apparent Weight = (75 kg)(9.8 + 4)m/s^2

<u>Apparent Weight = 1035 N</u>

For downward motion:

Apparent Weight = m(g - a)

Apparent Weight = (75 kg)(9.8 - 4)m/s^2

<u>Apparent Weight = 435 N</u>

Answer:

Atomic Size and Mass:

convert given density to kg/m^3 = 8900kg/m^3 2) convert to moles/m^3 (kg/m^3 * mol/kg) = 150847 mol/m^3 (not rounding in my actual calculations) 3) convert to atoms/m^3 (6.022^23 atoms/mol) = 9.084e28 atoms/m^3 4) take the cube root to get the number of atoms per meter, = 4495309334 atoms/m 5) take the reciprocal to get the diameter of an atom, = 2.2245e-10 m/atom 6) find the mass of one atom (kg/mol * mol/atoms) = 9.7974e-26 kg/atom Young's Modulus: Y=(F/A)/(dL/L) 1) F=mg = (45kg)(9.8N/kg) = 441 N 2) A = (0.0018m)^2 = 3.5344e-6 m^2 3) dL = 0.0016m 4) L = 2.44m 5) Y = 1.834e11 N/m^2 Interatomic Spring Stiffness: Ks,i = dY 1) From above, diameter of one atom = 2.2245e-10 m 2) From above, Y = 1.834e11 N/m^2 3) Ks,i = 40.799 N/m (not rounding in my actual calculations) Speed of Sound: v = ωd 1) ω = √(Ks,i / m,a) 2) From above, Ks,i = 40.799 N/m 3) From above, m,a = 9.7974e-26 kg 4) ω=2.0406e13 N/m*kg 5) From above, d=2.2245e-10 m 6) v=ωd = 4539 m/s (not rounding in actual calculations) Time Elapsed: 1) length sound traveled = L+dL = 2.44166 m 2) From above, speed of sound = 4539 m/s 3) T = (L+dL)/v = 0.000537505 s

One of the harmonics of a string fixed at both ends has a frequency of 52.2 Hz and the next higher harmonic has a frequency of 6

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Solution :

Frequency may be defined as the number of observation or number of waves that is taken in per unit time. The unit of frequency is Hertz or Hz.

It is given that :

Successive harmonic frequencies, f = 52.2 Hz

and f' = 60.9 Hz

Therefore, fundamental frequency, F = f' - f

F = 60.9 - 52.2

F = 8.7 Hz

Therefore the string which is fixed at both the ends forms all the harmonics.

Why does a rolling sphere slows down?

VLD [36.1K]

The sphere slow down due to friction force between the surface of the sphere and the surface on that the sphere is rolling . The friction force acting against the motion of the sphere. Thats why it is slowed down. In fact not only a sphere, anything can not slow down untill a force act against it's motion.
