An elevator of massmis initially at rest onthe first floor of a building. It moves upward,and passes the second and third floors

witha constant velocity, and finally stops at thefourth floor.The distance between adjacentfloors is h.What is the net work done on the elevatorduring the entire trip, from the first floor tothe fourth floor?
1. None of these.
2. W=-3m g h
3. W=-4m g h
4. W= 3m g h
5. W= 0correct
6. W= 4m g h

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts of Work. Work is understood as the force applied to travel a determined distance, in this case the height. The force in turn can be expressed by Newton's second law as the ratio between mass and gravity, as well

W = mgh

Where,

m = mass

h = height

g = Gravitational constant

When it ascends to the second floor it has traveled the energy necessary to climb a height, under this logic, until the 4 floor has traveled 3 times the height h of each of the floors therefore

h = 3h

Replacing in our equation we have to

W = mgh\\W = mg(3h)\\W = 3mgh

The correct answer is 4.

Dumbo the elephant weights 13,000 pounds. What force would the Earths surface apply to Dumbo? 2.2 pounds = 1 kg
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

57908 N

Explanation:

Let's first convert Dumbo's mass into kg using the given relationship: 2.2 pounds =1 kg.

Then, 13000 lbs = 13000/2.2 kg = 5909 kg

Now, let's find the force of gravity on Dumbo at the surface of the earth, which would be in magnitude equal to the normal force that the Earth's surface applies on Dumbo.

F = m * a = 5909 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 57908 N

Two scientists interpret the same set of data differently. How would the scientific community deal with this problem?
alexdok [17]
The correct answer would be D. A new experiment would be needed to be done in order to test the conclusions. In science there is no authority, data is the only thing that matters. So if we have two different conclusions from the same date the only solution is to perform more tests and more experiments to see what is correct.

During lightning strikes from a cloud to the ground, currents as high as 2.50×10^4 Amps can occur and last for about 40.0 micros
dangina [55]

Answer:

1 C

Explanation:

The intensity of electric current is defined as

I=\frac{q}{t}

where

I is the current

q is the amount of charge transferred

t is the time interval during which the charge is transferred

For the lightning in this problem, we have

I=2.50\cdot 10^4 A is the current

t=40.0 \mu s = 40.0\cdot 10^{-6} s is the time interval

Solving the formula for q, we find the amount of charge transferred:

q=I t = (2.50\cdot 10^4 A)(40.0\cdot 10^{-6}s)=1 C
