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

At a waterpark, sleds with riders are sent along a slippery, horizontal surface by the release of a large, compressed spring. Th
steposvetlana [31]

The sleds speed when the spring returns toits uncompressed length is v = 0.03 m/s.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given,

force constant = 42 N/cm = 0.42 N/m,   mass m = 68 kg, spring x = 0.39 m

The potential energy, U, stored in the spring is

                     U = 1/2 kx^2  

                       = 1 / 2 \times 0.42 \times (0.39)^2

                       = 0.032 J

All its potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy since it has a uncompressed length.

                    K = 1/2 mv^2

                     v = sqrt (2K / m)

                       = √(( 2 \times 0.032) / 68)

                    v = 0.03 m/s .

Most weather occurs in which atmospheric layers?
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Troposphere

Explanation:

The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. The earth's atmosphere has the following layers:

- Troposphere - Stratosphere - Mesosphere -Thermosphere - Exosphere

The troposphere lies 10 km above the land surface and most weather phenomena and conditions (e. g. clouds, turbulence) occur there.

Most of the water vapor in the atmosphere is in the troposphere (about 99%) and most of the atmosphere's mass is contained in the troposphere (75%)
