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

$N = 0 + 588$

$N = 588 ~ Newton$

Car A with a mass of 725 kilograms is traveling east at an initial velocity of 15 meters/second. It collides head–on with car B,

ikadub [295]

Answer:

$p_t_o_t_a_l=250kg\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

<u>The total momentum of a system is defined by:</u>

$(mv)_t_o_t=m_1v_1+m_2v_2+...$

Where,

$(mv)_t_o_t$ is the total momentum or it could be expressed also as $p_t_o_t_a_l$ .

$m_1$ and $m_2$ represents the masses of the objects interacting in the system.

$v_1$ and $v_2$ are the velocities of the objects of the system.

<em>Remember: </em><em>The momentum is a fundamental physical magnitude of vector type.</em>

We have:

$m_1=725 kg$

$v_1=15\frac{m}{s}\\m_2=625 kg$

We are going to take the east side as positive, and the west side as negative. Then the velocity of the car B, has to be <u>negative</u>. It goes in a different direction from car A.

$v_2=-17\frac{m}{s}$

Then the total momentum of the system is:

$p_t_o_t_a_l=m_1v_1+m_2v_2\\p_t_o_t_a_l=(725kg)(15\frac{m}{s})+(625kg)(-17\frac{m}{s})\\p_t_o_t_a_l=10875kg\frac{m}{s}-10625kg\frac{m}{s}\\p_t_o_t_a_l=250kg\frac{m}{s}$

A Shaolin monk of mass 60 kg is able to do a ‘finger stand’: he supports his whole weight on his two index fingers, giving him a

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

P = 1471500 [Pa]

Explanation:

We must remember that pressure is defined as the relationship between Force over the area.

$P=F/A$

where:

P = pressure [Pa] (units of pascals)

F = force [N] (units of Newtons)

A = area of contact = 4 [cm²]

But first we must convert from cm² to m²

$A = 4[cm^{2}]*\frac{1^{2} m^{2} }{100^{2} cm^{2} }$

A = 0.0004 [m²]

Also, the weight should be calculated as follows:

$w = m*g$

where:

m = mass = 60 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

Now replacing:

$w = 60*9.81\\w = 588.6[N]$

And the pressure:

$P=588.6/0.0004\\P=1471500 [Pa]$

Because 1 [Pa] = 1 [N/m²]

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The velocity of the Mr. miles is 17.14 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mr. Miles zips down a water-slide starting at 15 m vertical distance up the scaffolding, h = 15 m

We need to find the velocity of the Mr. Miles at the bottom of the slide. It is a case of conservation of energy which states that the total energy of the system remains conserved. Let v is the velocity of the Mr. miles. So,

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

g is the acceleration due to gravity

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 15}$

v = 17.14 m/s

So, the velocity of the Mr. miles is 17.14 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
