Two elevators begin descending from the same height. Elevator A has descended 4 feet after one second, 9 feet after two seconds,

14 feet after three seconds, and so on. Elevator B has descended 3.5 feet after one second, 6.5 feet after two seconds, 9.5 feet after three seconds, and so on. How many feet would each elevator descend in 10 seconds?

Answer:

a) y = 400 ft  b) y = 350 ft

Explanation:

We can solve that problem with kinematic relationships

    y = v₀ t + ½ a t²

Let's apply this equation to the elevator 1

     y₁ = v₀ t₁ + ½ to t₁²

time t= 1 s

    y₁ = v₀ 1 + ½ a 1²

    y₁ = v₀ + ½ a

For t = 2s

    y₂ = v₀ 2 + ½ a 2²

    y₂ = 2 v₀ + 2 a

Let's write the equations and solve the system

    4 = v₀ + ½ a

    9 = 2 v₀ + 2 a

Let's multiply the first by -2

    -8 = -2v₀ -a

     9 = 2v₀ + 2 a

Let's add

      1 = a

We replace in the first

      4 = v₀ + ½ 1

      v₀ = 4- 1/2

      v₀ = 3.5

The equation for the first elevator is

      y = 3.5 t + ½  t²

For t = 10 s

      y = 3.5 10 + ½ 10²  

      y = 400 ft

We repeat the process for the second elevator

t = 1s

     y₁ = v₀ 1 + ½ a 1²

     3.5 = v₀ + ½ a

t = 2 s

     y₂ = v₀ 2 + ½ a 2²

     6.5 = 2 v₀ +2 a

multiply by -2

    -7 = -2 v₀ - a

     6.5 = 2 v₀ + 2 a

Let's add

    -0.5 = a

I replace in the first equation

    3.5 = v₀ + ½ (-0.5)

    v₀ = 3.5 + 0.25

    v₀ = 3.75

The equation is

    y = 3.75 t -0.25 t²

For t = 10s

    y = 3.75 10 - 0.25 10²

   y = 350 ft

What does that make?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

lithium

Explanation:

A lithium atom contains 3 protons in its nucleus irrespective of the number of neutrons or electrons. Notice that because the lithium atom always has 3 protons, the atomic number for lithium is always 3. The mass number, however, is 6 in the isotope with 3 neutrons, and 7 in the isotope with 4 neutrons.

Compute the dot product of the vectors u and v​, and find the angle between the vectors. Bold v equals 7 Bold i minus Bold j and
OLga [1]

Answer:

\theta = 106.3 degree

Explanation:

As we know that

\vec w = -\hat i + 7\hat j

\vec v = 7\hat i - \hat j

also we know that

\vec v. \vec w = -14

it is given as

\vec v. \vec w = (-\hat i + 7\hat j).(7\hat i - \hat j)

\vec v. \vec w = - 7 - 7 = -14

also we can find the magnitude of two vectors as

|v| = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (7)^2}

|v| = \sqrt{50}

similarly we have

|w| = \sqrt{(7^2) + (-1)^2}

|w| = \sqrt{50}

now we know the formula of dot product as

\vec v. \vec w = |v||w| cos\theta

-14 = (\sqrt{50})^2cos\theta

\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{-14}{50})

\theta = 106.3 degree

Suppose the sphere is electrically neutral. Is it attracted to
Elden [556K]

Answer:

No, it is not attracted.

Explanation:

If any sphere is electrically neutral it is not attracted. The materials which are attracted by magnet are called magnetic material whereas which are not attracted are called non magnetic material. Sphere made up of non magnetic materials such as glass, wood, paper will not attracted weather is kept near north pole or near south pole.
