A 72.9 kg man stands on a spring scale in an elevator. Starting from rest, the elevator ascends, attaining its maximum speed of

1.21 m/s in 0.80 s. It travels with this constant speed for 4.97 s, undergoes a uniform downward acceleration for 1.52 s, and comes to rest. What does the spring scale register (a) before the elevator starts to move?

Answer:

(a) 72.9 kg

Explanation:

Before the elevator starts to move, only gravitational force exerts on the man, this force is generated by the man mass and the gravitational acceleration, which in turn register in the scale. So the scale would probably indicate the man mass, which is 72.9 kg.

Hello....I need help with this question.
musickatia [10]

Answer:

3.2 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration can be calculated as:

v = u + at (where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time)

25 m/s  = 9 m/s  + a(5 s)  (a is unknown)

16 m/s  = a(5 s)

a = 3.2 m/s²

We assume that this is a uniform acceleration (meaning that the velocity increases at an equal rate for those 5 seconds).

A Jamaican Bobsled team hits the brakes on their sled so that decelerates at a uniform rate of 0.43 m/s^2. How long does it take
ankoles [38]

Answer:

20.05 seconds

Explanation:

Given that:

v² = u² + 2as

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = distance

a = negative acceleration = - 0.43

s = distance = 86.5

v = 0

0 - 2(0.43)(86.5) = u²

74.39 = v²

U = sqrt(74.39)

U = 8.6249

From ;

t = Time in seconds

t = (v - u) / a

t = (0 - 8.6249) / - 0.43

t = 20.057
