A 60.0-kg person is in an elevator with a mass of 2000 kg. The elevator moves vertically up through a distance of 24.0 m with a

constant speed of 4.00 m/s. How much work is done on this elevator system? Use g=10.0m/s^2.

The mass of the (elevator + person) is (2,000 kg + 60 kg) = 2,060 kg .

The weight is (mass x gravity) = (2,060 x 10) = 20,600 newtons

Work = (force x distance) = (20,600 newtons x 24m) = <em>494,400 joules</em>

The speed, acceleration, and how much time it takes don't make any
difference, unless you want the average power during the lift.

         Power = (work)/(time) =
           494,000 J / (24/4 m) =
           494,000 J / 6 sec = <em><u>82,400 watts</u></em>      wow !

A 50 kg pitcher throws a baseball with a mass of 0. 15 kg. If the ball is thrown with a positive velocity of 35 m/s and there is
dsp73

The velocity of the pitcher at the given mass is 0.1 m/s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Mass of the pitcher, m₁ = 50 kg</em>
  • <em>Mass of the baseball, m₂ = 0.15 kg</em>
  • <em>Velocity of the ball, u₂ = 35 m/s</em>

<em />

Let the velocity of the pitcher = u₁

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine the velocity of the pitcher as shown below;

m₁u₁ = m₂u₂

u_1 = \frac{m_2 u_2}{m_1} \\\\u_1 = \frac{0.15 \times 35}{50} \\\\u_1 = 0.105 \ m/s\\\\u_1 \approx 0.1 \ m/s

Thus, the velocity of the pitcher at the given mass is 0.1 m/s.

Visually, how can you distinguish between an ac and dc power supply?
Temka [501]

Answer:

By the use of slow motion camera.

Explanation:

Visually, it is very hard to differentiate between an ac and dc power supply. But Since, we that In Ac supply polarity changes 100 times in a second ( because frequency of ac supply is 50 Hz generally). Whereas, Dc gives a steady power supply. So, in slow motion camera we can easily capture the flickering light tubes which won't happen in case of dc supply.

A zero-order reaction has a constant rate of 2.30×10−4 M/s. If after 80.0 seconds the concentration has dropped to 1.50×10−2 M,
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Initial concentration of the reactant = 3.34 × 10^(-2)M

Explanation:

Rate of reaction = 2.30×10−4 M/s,

Time of reaction = 80s

Final concentration = 1.50×10−2 M

Initial concentration = Rate of reaction × Time of reaction + Final concentration

= 2.30×10−4 M/s × 80s + 1.50×10−2 M = 3.34 × 10^(-2)M

Initial concentration = 3.34 × 10^(-2)M
