You are an engineer in charge of designing a new generation of elevators for a prospective upgrade to the Empire State Building.

Before the state legislature votes on funding for the project, they would like you to prepare a report on the benefits of upgrading the elevators. One of the numbers that they have requested is the time it will take the elevator to go from the ground floor to the 102nd floor observatory. They are unlikely to approve the project unless the new elevators make the trip much faster than the old elevators. If state law mandates that elevators cannot accelerate more than 2.40 m/s2 or travel faster than 18.8 m/s , what is the minimum time in which an elevator can travel the 373 m from the ground floor to the observatory floor

Answer:

   t_total = 23.757 s

Explanation:

This is a kinematics exercise.

Let's start by calculating the distance and has to reach the limit speed of

v = 18.8 m / s

         v = v₀ + a t₁

the elevator starts with zero speed

         v = a t₁

         t₁ = v / a

         t₁ = 18.8 / 2.40

         t₁ = 7.833 s

in this time he runs

         y₁ = v₀ t₁ + ½ a t₁²

         y₁ = ½ a t₁²

         y₁ = ½ 2.40 7.833²

         y₁ = 73.627 m

This is the time and distance traveled until reaching the maximum speed, which will be constant throughout the rest of the trip.

           x_total = x₁ + x₂

           x₂ = x_total - x₁

           x₂ = 373 - 73,627

           x₂ = 299.373 m

this distance travels at constant speed,

           v = x₂ / t₂

           t₂ = x₂ / v

           t₂ = 299.373 / 18.8

           t₂ = 15.92 s

therefore the total travel time is

           t_total = t₁ + t₂

           t_total = 7.833 + 15.92

           t_total = 23.757 s

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: Remain unchanged

Explanation:

The boat with water barrel overboard floats in swimming pool when weight of the water displaced by the boat is equal to the buoyant force acting on the boat.

When the water in the barrel is poured overboard, the level of the swimming pool level would remain unchanged as the weight of the boat  with the water and barrel would remain unchanged ( as the density and volume of the whole system remains same) and hence, the weight of the water (of the swimming pool) displaced by the boat would remain same.

A boat loaded with a barrel of water floats in a swimming pool. When the water in the barrel is poured overboard, the swimming pool level will <u>remain unchanged. </u>

Calculate the magnitude of the electric field at the location of given that the square is 6.05 cm on a side.
Serggg [28]

The term “electric field” refers to the physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and acts to either attract or repel all other charged particles in the field (also known as an E-field).

It can also refer to the physical field surrounding a system of charged particles. Electric fields are composed of electric charges and time-varying electric currents.

Both electric and magnetic fields are manifestations of the electromagnetic field, one of the four fundamental interactions (sometimes known as forces) of nature.

Electrical technology makes use of electric fields, which are significant in many branches of physics.

For instance, in atomic physics and chemistry, the electric field acts as an attractive force to hold atoms’ atomic nuclei and electrons together. It is also the force that causes atoms to chemically link together to form molecules.

A coil has 400 turns and self-inductance 7.50 mH. The current in the coil varies with time according to i = 1680 mA2 cos [πt/(0.
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

(a) 1.58 V

(b) 0.0126 Wb

(c) 0.0493 V

Solution:

As per the question:

No. of turns in the coil, N = 400 turns

Self Inductance of the coil, L = 7.50 mH = 7.50\times 10^{- 3}\ H

Current in the coil, i = 1680cos[\frac{\pi t}{0.0250}] A

where

i_{max} = 1680\ mA = 1.680\ A

Now,

(a)  To calculate the maximum emf:

We know that maximum emf induced in the coil is given by:

e = \frac{Ldi}{dt}

e = L\frac{d}{dt}(1680)cos[\frac{\pi t}{0.0250}]

e = - 7.50\times 10^{- 3}\times \frac{\pi}{0.0250}\times \frac{d}{dt}(1680)sin[\frac{\pi t}{0.0250}]

For maximum emf, sin\theta should be maximum, i.e., 1

Now, the magnitude of the maximum emf is given by:

|e| = 7.50\times 10^{- 3}\times 1680\times 10^{- 3}\times \frac{\pi}{0.0250} = 1.58\ V

(b) To calculate the maximum average flux,we know that:

\phi_{m, avg} = L\times i_{max} = 7.50\times 10^{- 3}\times 1.680 = 0.0126\ Wb

(c) To calculate the magnitude of the induced emf at t = 0.0180 s:

e = e_{o}sin{\pi t}{0.0250}

e = 7.50\times 10^{- 3}\times sin{\pi \times 0.0180}{0.0250} = 2.96\times 10^{- 4} =0.0493\ V

anygoal [31]

Answer:

Cerebral palsy

Explanation:

Cerebral palsy - it is referred to that disorder which is related to damages that caused permanent disorder in the functioning of body parts.  it affects the proper functioning of muscles thus cause the coordination problem.

it is caused due to abnormalities in the brain that result in the coordination of the body. As it is related to abnormalities in the brain thus it also causes a problem in vision, speaking, hearing, etc
