Answer:

Part a)

a = 2.06 m/s^2

Part b)

Lift is moving downwards as it is coming with negative sign

Explanation:

As we know that the reading of the scale is equal to the normal force on the woman

So we will have

F_n - mg = ma

here we know that

F_n = 0.79 mg

so we will have

0.79 mg - mg = ma

a = -2.06 m/s^2

Part a)

magnitude of the acceleration of the lift is given as

a = 2.06 m/s^2

Part b)

Lift is moving downwards as it is coming with negative sign

The 1350-kg car has a velocity of 24 km/h up the 8-percent grade when the driver applies more power for 18 s to bring the car up
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply concept of impulse to solve the problem  .

Impulse = force x time

impulse = change in momentum

force x time = change in momentum

initial speed u = 24 km/h = 6.67 m /s

final speed v = 65 km/h = 18.05 m /s

change in momentum = m v - mu

= m ( v-u )

= 1350 ( 18.05 - 6.67 )

= 15363 kg m/s

F x 18 = 15363

F = 853.5 N .

A 36,287 kg truck has a momentum of 907,175 kg • . What is the truck’s velocity?
Snowcat [4.5K]
By definition,
Momentum = Mass * Velocity

Let v =  the velocity of the truck, m/s
The mass of the truck is 36,287 kg.
The momentum is 907,175 (kg-m)/s.

Therefore
907,175 (kg-m)/s = (36287 kg)*(v m/s)
v = 907175/36287 = 25 m/s

Answer: 25 m/s

An aluminum cup contains 225 g of water and a 40 g copper stirrer, all at 27°C. A 410 g sample of silver at an initial temperatu
fomenos

Answer:

130.22 g

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of water Mw = 225 g

Mass of stirrer Ms = 40 g

Mass of silver M(S) = 410 g

By applying the law of conservation of energy:

(McCc + MsCs + MwCw)ΔTw = M(S)C(S)ΔT(S)

where Mc = Mass of cup

Cc = Specific heat capacity of aluminium cup = 900 J/gC

Cs = Specific heat capacity of copper stirrer = 387 J/gC

Cw = Specific heat capacity of water = 4186 J/gC

ΔTw = change in temperature of water = 32 - 27 = 5 °C

C(S) = Specific heat capacity of silver = 234 J/gC

ΔT(S) = change in temperature of silver = 88 - 32 = 56 °C

Therefore:

[(Mc * 900) + (40 * 387) + (225 * 4186)] * 5 = 410 * 234 * 56

(900Mc + 957330) * 5 = 5276700

900Mc + 957330 = 5276700 / 5 = 1074528

900Mc = 1074528 - 957330

900Mc = 117198

Mc = 117198/ 900

Mc = 130.22 g

The mass of the cup is 130.22 g.
