Answer:

1 m/s² down

Explanation:

"Calculate the acceleration of the elevator, and find the direction of acceleration."

Sum of forces in the +y direction:

∑F = ma

N − mg = ma

0.9 mg − mg = ma

-0.1 mg = ma

a = -0.1 g

a = -1 m/s²

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The new length is 50.00885m

Explanation:

linear thermal expansion coefficient Fe 11.8e-6 /K

The new length can be determined using the following equation:

∆L/L = α∆T, where α is linear thermal expansion coefficient

∆L = Lα∆T = 50(11.8e-6)(35-20) = 0.00885 m

New length = ( 50.000 + 0.00885)m =

New length = 50.00885 m

A small propeller airplane can comfortably achieve a high enough speed to take off on a runway that is 1/4 mile long. A large, f
QveST [7]

Answer:

1 mile

Explanation:

We can use the following equation of motion to solve for this problem:

v^2 - v_0^2 = 2a\Delta s

where v m/s is the final take-off velocity of the airplane, v_0 = 0 initial velocity of the can when it starts from rest, a is the acceleration of the airplanes, which are the same, and \Delta s is the distance traveled before takeoff, which is minimum runway length:

v^2 - 0^2 = 2a\Delta s

\Delta s = \frac{v^2}{2a}

From here we can calculate the distance ratio

\frac{\Delta s_1}{\Delta s_2} = \frac{v_1^2/2a_1}{v_2^2/2a_2}

\frac{\Delta s_1}{\Delta s_2} = \left(\frac{v_1}{v_2}\right)^2\frac{a_2}{a_1}

Since the 2nd airplane has the same acceleration but twice the velocity

\frac{\Delta s_1}{\Delta s_2} = 0.5^2* 1

\Delta s_2 = 4 \Delta s_1 = 4*(1/4) = 1 mile

So the minimum runway length is 1 mile
