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

Apparent Weight = 1035 N

For downward motion:

Apparent Weight = m(g - a)

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

Apparent Weight = 435 N

Yes, that’s physically inactive. You should be moving your arms and legs if you’re going to be sitting down.

vA 61.2-kg circus performer is fired from a cannon that is elevated at an angle of 57.8 ° above the horizontal. The cannon uses

dsp73

Answer:

The effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

Explanation:

First, we can use kinematics to obtain the initial velocity of the performer. Since we know the angle at which he was launched, the horizontal distance and the time in which it's traveled, we can calculate the speed by:

$v_0_x=\frac{x}{t}\\ \\v_0\cos\theta=\frac{x}{t}\\\\v_0=\frac{x}{t\cos\theta}$

(This is correct because the horizontal motion has acceleration zero). Then:

$v_0=\frac{20.8m}{(2.60s)\cos57.8\°}\\\\v_0=15.0m/s$

Now, we can use energy to obtain the spring constant of the firing mechanism. By the conservation of mechanical energy, considering the instant in which the elastic band is at its maximum stretch as t=0, and the instant in which the performer flies free of the bands as final time, we have:

$E_0=E_f\\\\U_e=K\\\\\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\\implies k=\frac{mv^2}{x^2}$

Then, plugging in the given values, we obtain:

$k=\frac{(61.2kg)(15.0m/s)^2}{(2.76m)^2}\\\\k=1808N/m$

Finally, the effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

PLEASE HELP ASAP 98 POINTS!!!!!!! ALL I NEED YOU GUYS TO DO IS WRITE A ONE PARAGRAPH REFLECTION ON ECLIPSES AND WRITE IT AS IF Y

makvit [3.9K]

A eclipse starts when one object in space is blocking an observer. Most commonly known as the moon blocking the sun. For us having a visual on eclipses we normally have two eclipses. We have the solar eclipse and the lunar eclipse. These are both very important on the timing and the cycles of the moon. A solar eclipse happens when the moon moves in front of the sun. This will cause a shadow to fall on only a few certain places on earth. Then a lunar eclipse is when the Sun, moon, and earth are perfectly aligned. With the earth being the middle the Sun casts its rays and causes a huge shadow on the moon.

Hope this helped!

A student of Physics applies a constant force of 25Newtons while lifting a heavy Physics book up into the air a distance of 2.0m

aleksley [76]

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option 3. The work done by the student to the book would be 50 J. The work done by gravity is simply the force of gravity times the displacement. That is 25N x 2 m and is equal to 50 J. Hope this answers the question.
