A person is standing on a scale in an unmoving elevator. The elevator starts to move upwards at 1 m/s squared. Is the scale read

Answer: GREATER

Explanation:when elevator does not move it reads weight of the person . when elevator moves up let apparent weight be F . W acts downwards so net force is F-W

HENCE

F-W =ma

F= ma+W

AS a= 1 m/s^2

F = m (1)+W

HENCE GREATER

A model rocket is launched directly upward at a speed of 16 meters per second from a height of 2 meters. The function f(t)=−4.9t
Crank

Answer:

Hmax=15.06 meters

Explanation:The question ask for the maximum value of the function f(t) which can be find by find the maxima of the function

The maxima of the function occurs when the slope is zero. i.e.

\frac{df}{dt} =0\\\frac{df}{dt} =\frac{d}{dt} (-4.9t^2+16t+2)\\\frac{df}{dt} =-4.9*2t+16\\-9.8t+16=0\\t=16/9.8\\t=1.63 secs

Hence the maxima occurs at t=1.63 seconds

The maximum value of f is

f(1.63)=-4.9(1.63^2)+16(1.63)+2\\f(1.63)=15.06\\

hence maximum height is found to be

Hmax=15.06 meters

A helium atom (mass 4.0 u) moving at 598 m/s to the right collides with an oxygen molecule (mass 32 u) moving in the same direct
labwork [276]

Answer:

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of helium ,m₁ = 4 u

u₁=598 m/s

Mass of oxygen ,m₂ = 32 u

u₂  = 401 m/s

v₂ =445 m/s

Given that initially both are moving in the same direction and lets take they are moving in the right direction.

Speed of the helium after collision = v₁

There is no any external force on the masses that is why the linear momentum will be conserve.

Initial linear momentum = Final linear momentum

P = m v

m₁u₁+m₂u₂ = m₁v₁+m₂v₂

598 x 4 + 32 x 401 = 4 x v₁+ 32 x 445

v₁ = 246 m/s

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s
