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

beks73 [17]

Option B The thickness of the central portion of a thin conveying lens can be determined very accurately by using a micrometer screw gauge.

<h3>What can be measured using a micrometer screw gauge?</h3>

One micrometer of thickness can be measured with a micron micrometre screw gauge. A Use of Micrometer Screw Gauge as like example Upon turning the screw of the micrometer screw gauge four times, a 2 mm space is covered.

<h3>What purposes does a micrometer serve?</h3>

A tool known as a micrometer is used to measure solid objects’ lengths, thicknesses, and other dimensions precisely and linearly.

<h3>What is the micrometer screw gauge’s SI unit?</h3>

The SI symbol m is also known as a micron, which is an SI-derived unit of length equaling 1106 meters, where 106 is the SI standard prefix for the prefix “micro-.” A micrometer is one-millionth of a meter.

What is equilibrium????
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Explanation:

An equilibrium is a state in which opposing forces or influences are banned.

An example of equilibrium is in economics when supply and demand are equal. An example of equilibrium is when you are calm and steady. An example of equilibrium is when hot air and cold air are entering the room at the same time so that the overall temperature of the room does not change at all.
