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>

An 80-kg man is skating northward and happens to suddenly collide with a 20-kg boy who is ice skating toward the east. Immediate
Fantom [35]

Answer:

6.25 m/s

Explanation:

mass of man (m1) = 80 kg

mass of boy (m2) = 20 kg

mass of man and boy after collision (m12)= 20 + 80 = 100 kg

velocity of man and boy after collision (v) = 2.5 m/s

angle θ = 60 °

How fast was the boy moving just before the collision ?

  • From the diagram attached, the first image shows the man and the boys motion while the second diagram shows their motion rearranged to form a triangle. With the momentum of the man and the boy forming the sides of the triangle.
  • M₁₂ =  total momentum after collision = m12 x v = 100 x 2.5 = 250
  • Mboy = momentum of the boy before collision = m2 x Velocity of boy
  • Mman = momentum of the man before collision = m1 x velocity of man  
  • from the triangle, cos θ = \frac{Mboy}{M₁₂}

        cos 60 = \frac{Mboy}{250}

        Mboy = 250 x cos 60 = 125

  • recall that momentum of the boy (Mboy) also = m2 x Velocity of boy

        therefore

        125 = 20 x velocity of boy

         velocity of boy = 125 / 20 = 6.25 m/s

a kid is on a skate board going 14kph and trows a set of keys on the ground at 8kph. the spped of the keys relitive to the gound
Vanyuwa [196]
To determine the speed relative to the ground, since the ground is our reference frame, it would be v = 0, for the kid on the skateboard, you would need to take into account the speed that he/she is going and the speed of the keys thrown at.
