An elevator has mass 600 kg, not including passengers. The elevator is designed to ascend, at constant speed, a vertical distanc

e of 20.0 m (five floors) in 16.0 s, and it is driven by a motor that can provide up to 40 hp to the elevator. What is the maximum number of passengers that can ride in the elevator? Assume that an average passenger has mass 65.0.

Answer:

The maximum number of passengers that can ride in the elevator are n°= 28 passengers.

Explanation:

P= 40 HP = 29840 W

d= 20m

t= 16s

me= 600kg

mp= 65 kg

g= 9.8 m/s²

v= d/t

v= 1.25 m/s

P=F*v

P/v= F

F= 23872 N

m= F/g

m= 2435.91 kg

m= me + n° * mp

(m - me) / mp = n°

n°≅ 28 passengers

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

a)15077 W

b)20.2185 horse power

Explanation:

P=F*V

F=ma

a=Vf-VS/t

Vf=28m/s

t=5.2

a=28/5.2

a=5.384 m/s²

F=100kg*5.384m/s²

F=538.4 N

P=F*V

P=538.4N*28m/s

P=15077 W=20.2185 horse power

1W=0.00134 Horse power

Which of the following is not a true statement?<br> v=at<br> O art
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

t = Δa / v

Explanation:

To know which option is not true, we shall fine a relationship between acceleration (a), velocity (v), time (t) and radius (r). This is illustrated below:

Acceleration can simply be defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as shown below:

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

a = Δv / t ..... (1)

But

Δv = v₂ – v₁

Substitute the value of Δv into equation (1)

a = Δv / t

a = v₂ – v₁ / t ....... (2)

From equation (1), make Δv the subject of the equation.

a = Δv / t

Cross multiply

Δv = at .... (3)

From equation (1), make t the subject of the equation.

a = Δv / t

Cross multiply

at = Δv

Divide both side by a

t = Δv /a ...... (4)

From circular motion, centripetal's force is given by:

F = mv²/r

F = ma꜀

Therefore,

ma꜀ = mv²/r

Cancel out m

a꜀ = v²/r

SUMMARY:

a = Δv / t

a = v₂ – v₁ / t

Δv = at

t = Δv /a

a꜀ = v²/r

Considering the options given in question above, t = Δa / v is not a true statement.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

v = 36.667 m/s

Explanation:

Knowing the rotational inertia as

Lₙ = 550 kg * m²

r = 1.0 m

m = 30.0 kg

To determine the minimum speed v must have when she grabs the bottom

Lₙ =  I * ω

I = ¹/₂ * m * r²

I = ¹/₂ * 30.0 kg * 1.0² m

I = 15 kg * m²

Lₙ =  I * ω  ⇒ ω =  Lₙ / I

ω = [ 550 kg * m² /s  ] / ( 15 kg * m² )

ω = 36.667 rad /s

v = ω * r

v = 36.667 m/s

What is the magnitude of the electric field at the origin produced by a semi-circular arc of charge = 7.6 μc, twice the charge o
Anna [14]

Orient the semi-circle arc such that it is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. Now, by symmetry, the electric field in the x-direction cancels to zero. So the only thing of interest is the electric field in the y-direction.  


dEy=kp/r^2*sin(a) where k is coulombs constant p is the charge density r is the radius of the arc and a is the angular position of each point on the arc (ranging from 0 to pi. Integrating this renders 2kq/(pi*r^3). Where k is 9*10^9, q is 9.8 uC r is .093 m
