A man of 60kg moves in a lift of constant velocity 5m/s .What is the reactive force acting on the man by the elevator?

Physics

Answer:

588 N

Explanation:

Since the 60 kg is moving at a constant velocity there is no acceleration. In order for the system to be balanced, both the normal force and the force of gravity must be equal. In this case the man has a mass of 60 kg. So to find the force you multiply mass by gravitys constant (9.81). And you end up with an answer of 588.6 but I rounded to 588.

The reactive force acting on the man by the elevator is about 588 Newton

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states that the resultant force applied to an object is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the object.

\large {\boxed {F = ma }

F = Force ( Newton )

m = Object's Mass ( kg )

a = Acceleration ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem !

<u>Given:</u>

mass of the man = 60 kg

velocity of the lift = 5 m/s

<u>Unknown:</u>

reactive force = N = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

We will use Newton's 2nd law formula for this problem.

\Sigma F = ma

N - w = ma

N - mg = ma

N - 60(9.8) = 60(0) → constant velocity ⇒ a = 0

N = 0 + 588

N = 588 ~ Newton

2) If the initial velocity of an object is equal to a final velocity, what is the acceleration of the object?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The acceleration is 0.

Explanation:

The formula for acceleration is:

a = (v-u)/t

If v and u are equal, thus it would be 0 when subtracted, and anything divided by 0 is 0.
