<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. 3.43 kPa

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Pressure is given by the formula;

Pressure = Force / Area

Force is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity. 

 Thus;  Force = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Substituting;

               Force = (350 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

               Force = 3430 N

Then, using the first equation;

                Pressure = 3430 N / 1m² or Pa

<h3>                             <u>= 3.43 kPa</u></h3>

An escalator and an elevator can transport a person from one floor to the next. the escalator does it in 15 s and the elevator t
ad-work [718]

Answer:

The escalator does more work and the elevator has a greater power output.

Explanation:

The escalator does more work on the person because it is carrying them up. It also gives the person a chance to walk up the escalator making it a little more challenging than using just an elevator. The elevator has a greater power output because it can transport a person from one floor to another in just 10 seconds where as the escalator can do it in 15.

Hope this helps!

Serggg [28]

Answer:

a = 1 m/s²  and

Explanation:

The first two parts can be seen in attachment

We use Newton's second law on each axis

Y axis

      Ty - W = 0        

      Ty = w

X axis

     Tx = m a

With trigonometry we find the components of tension

    Sin θ = Ty / T

    Ty = T sin θ

    Cos θ = Tx / T

    Tx = T cos θ

We calculate the acceleration with kinematics

   Vf = Vo + a t

   a = (Vf -Vo) / t

   a = (20 -10) / 10

   a = 1 m/s²

We substitute in Newton's equations

     

  T Sin θ = mg

  T cos θ = ma

We divide the two equations

  Tan θ = g / a

  θ = tan⁻¹ (g / a)

  θ = tan⁻¹ (9.8 / 1)

  θ = 84º

We see that in the expression of the angle the mass does not appear therefore you should not change the angle
