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

1.) What statement best explains the type of population growth seen in Belize according to the 2010 age structure diagram?
Art [367]

Answer:

1. Belize has a high birth rate and a low death rate.

2. Belize will have a rapidly growing population over the next twenty years.

Explanation:

Belize has a high birth rate and a low death rate. Belize is in the phase II of the demographic transition model. Their population is growing exponentially. This is due to lowering death rates while the birth rates are still high.

Belize will have a rapidly growing population over the next twenty years. When the age structure diagram has a wider base than the middle or top age groups, this indicates a population that is rapidly growing. Belize is early in the transition model and still has high birth rates. Countries like Belize typically have lower opportunities for education for women of reproductive age, can have high infant mortality, and can have high emigration rates.

A 6.00 g lead bullet traveling at420 m/s is stopped by a large
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The increase in temperature of the bullet is 351.1 kelvin

Explanation:

First, we should find the kinetic energy of the bullet is:

K=\frac{mv^{2}}{2}=\frac{(6\times10^{-3}\,kg)(420\,\frac{m}{s})^{2}}{2}

with m the mass and v the velocity.

K=529.2 J

Now we know that half of the kinetic energy of the bullet is transformed into internal energy, by second's law of thermodynamics that means heat (Q) to raise bullet temperature (T), so:

Q=\frac{K}{2}= 264.6\,J

To know what the increase in temperature is, we should use specific heat of lead:

c=125.604 \frac{J}{kg\.K}

The equation that relates specific heat, change in temperature and mass is:

Q=cm\varDelta T

solving for \varDelta T:

\varDelta T=\frac{Q}{cm}=\frac{264.6}{(125.604)(6\times10^{-3})}

\varDelta T= 351.10\, K
