A 76-kg man standing on a scale in an elevator notes that as the elevator rises, the scale reads 840 N. What is the acceleration

of the elevator? 1.25 Correct: Your answer is correct. m/s2 upward

Answer:

1.25 m/s^2

Explanation:

m = 76 kg, R = 840 N

Let a be the acceleration of teh elevator in upward direction.

By use of Newton's second law

R - mg = m a

R = m ( g + a)

840 = 76 ( 9.8 + a)

a = 1.25 m/s^2

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

First: Leave a couple inches of wire loose at one end and wrap most of the rest of the wire around iron  u-shaped bar and make sure not to overlap the wires.

Second:Cut the wire (if needed) so that there is about a couple inches loose at the other end too.

Third: Now remove about an inch of the plastic coating from both ends of the wire and connect the one wire to one end of a battery and the other wire to the other end of the battery.

How does inertia affect the motion of an object?
Furkat [3]

<u>Inertia affects the motion of an object as follows:</u>

When an object is in motion, it will continue to be in the same state unless otherwise some outside force is being applied to it. Thus, inertia affects the motion of an object. It restricts some other force being acted upon the object.

But mass of an object is directly proportional to inertia. So when the inertia is more on an object, it means that the object has more mass. For example, if there are two similar bricks, one that is made up of mortar and the other one is made of Styrofoam.

To identify which brick is made of Styrofoam without lifting the bricks, push both the bricks with equal force, the one that has less resistance tends to move faster. This means that it has less inertia and hence less mass.

5) Sally has a mass of 50 kg. She ran with a velocity of 20 m/s.
Ket [755]

Answer:

<h2>10,000 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula

k =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} \\

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have

k =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 50 \times  {20}^{2}  \\  = 25 \times 400 \\  = 10000

We have the final answer as

<h3>10,000 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

A student on an amusement park ride moves in a circular path with a radius of 3.5 meters once every 8.9 seconds. What is the ave
Ulleksa [173]
Distance traveled by him = circumference of that circular path = 2πr = 2π(3.5)
= 7π = 7×3.14 = 21.98 m
time = 8.9 s  [ Given ]

Now, Average speed = distance / time
s = 21.98 / 8.9
s = 2.46 m/s

Hope this helps!

In which one(s) of the following situations will there be an INCREASE in Kinetic Energy? Group of answer choices A block slides
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The Kinetic Energy INCREASE in the following situations:

a)A block slides down a frictionless incline:

e)A merry go round rotates faster due to the push by a person.

Explanation:

The energy kinetics is proportional to the square of the velocity:

E_k=1/2*mv^2

We study the cases:

a)A block slides down a frictionless incline:

The gravity made a positive work and the box get a extra velocity, then the kinetics energy INCREASE

b)A box is pulled across a rough floor at constant speed:

The magnitude of the velocity does not change, so the kinetics energy does not change as well

c)A stone at the end of a string is whirled in a horizontal circle at constant speed:

The magnitude of the velocity does not change, so the kinetics energy does not change as well

d)A projectile approaches its maximum height:

If the projectile approaches its maximum height, its velocity approaches to zero. Then the kinetics Energy DECREASE

e)A merry go round rotates faster due to the push by a person.

Thanks to the push, the magnitude of the velocity INCREASE, so the kinetics energy INCREASE as well
