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>

Can a compound be separated by physical means?

Julli [10]

No, it is not possible.
A compound is a substance or material constituting of two or more elements that have been chemically combined together to form a new, different substance

Any elements that have been joined together chemically can only be separated back into their constituent elements by chemical means because the bonds holding them together can only be broken using chemical means.

A good example is sodium chloride, table salt. Poisonous chlorine gas and toxic sodium metal react together whereby sodium loses one electron which chlorine readily accepts and in the process an ionic bond is formed between the two resulting in a totally new, harmless compound , sodium chloride.

Only through electrolysis can sodium chloride be separated back into sodium and chlorine gas. No physical means can be used to do that.

Complete Question

An aluminum "12 gauge" wire has a diameter d of 0.205 centimeters. The resistivity ρ of aluminum is 2.75×10−8 ohm-meters. The electric field in the wire changes with time as E(t)=0.0004t2−0.0001t+0.0004 newtons per coulomb, where time is measured in seconds.

I = 1.2 A at time 5 secs.

Find the charge Q passing through a cross-section of the conductor between time 0 seconds and time 5 seconds.

Answer:

The charge is $Q =2.094 C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter of the wire is $d = 0.205cm = 0.00205 \ m$

The radius of the wire is $r = \frac{0.00205}{2} = 0.001025 \ m$

The resistivity of aluminum is $2.75*10^{-8} \ ohm-meters.$

The electric field change is mathematically defied as

$E (t) = 0.0004t^2 - 0.0001 +0.0004$

Generally the charge is mathematically represented as

$Q = \int\limits^{t}_{0} {\frac{A}{\rho} E(t) } \, dt$

Where A is the area which is mathematically represented as

$A = \pi r^2 = (3.142 * (0.001025^2)) = 3.30*10^{-6} \ m^2$

$\frac{A}{\rho} = \frac{3.3 *10^{-6}}{2.75 *10^{-8}} = 120.03 \ m / \Omega$

Therefore

$Q = 120 \int\limits^{t}_{0} { E(t) } \, dt$

substituting values

$Q = 120 \int\limits^{t}_{0} { [ 0.0004t^2 - 0.0001t +0.0004] } \, dt$

$Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004t^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 t^2}{2} +0.0004t] } \left | t} \atop {0}} \right.$

From the question we are told that t = 5 sec

$Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004t^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 t^2}{2} +0.0004t] } \left | 5} \atop {0}} \right.$

$Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004(5)^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 (5)^2}{2} +0.0004(5)] }$

$Q =2.094 C$

The pilot of an aircraft wishes to fly due west in a 33.9 km/h wind blowing toward the south. The speed of the aircraft in the a

diamong [38]

Answer: $\theta =9.96^{\circ}$ North of west

Explanation:

Given

Plane wishes to fly in west

but wind with speed 33.9 km/h towards south obstructing its path

so plane must fly at an angle of \theta w.r.t west such that it final velocity is towards west

Plane absolute speed=195 km/h

To fly towards west velocity in Y direction should be zero

thus $195sin\theta =33.9$

$\theta =9.96^{\circ}$

so Plane should head towards $9.96^{\circ}$ North of west in order to fly in west.

So plane

actual velocity is

$v=-195cos9.96\hat{i}+195sin9.96\hat{j}$

If a trapezoidal channel has side slopes of 1:1, hydraulic depth is 5 feet, the bottom width is 8 feet, flow is 2,312 cubic feet

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

$S = \dfrac{1}{2.5}$

Explanation:

given,

side slope = 1 : 1

hydraulic depth(y) = 5 ft

bottom width (b)= 8 ft

x = 1

Q = 2,312 ft³/s

n = 0.013

slope of channel = ?

$R = \dfrac{A}{P}$

$R = \dfrac{y(b + xy)}{b+2y\sqrt{1+x^2}}$

$R = \dfrac{5(8+ 5)}{8+2\times 5\sqrt{1+1^2}}$

R = 4.69 m

using manning's equation

$Q = \dfrac{1}{n}AR^{2/3} S^{1/2}$

$2312= \dfrac{1}{0.013}\times (5(8+5))\times 4.69^{2/3} S^{1/2}$

$2312=14009.37\times S^{1/2}$

S = 0.406

$S = \dfrac{1}{2.5}$
