A person weighing 504 Newtons enters an elevator and stands on a scale which reads his weight in Newtons. The elevator starts to

accelerate upward at a rate of 8.53 m/s^2. What does the scale read while the elevator is accelerating upward? (Use g = 9.80 m/s^2)

Answer:

942.68 N

Explanation:

Weight of man = 504 N = W

a = Acceleration = 8.53 m/s²

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.80 m/s²

Mass of man

m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{504}{9.8}

Weight shown when elevator is being accelerated

W_n=ma+mg\\\Rightarrow W_n=\frac{504}{9.8}\times 8.53+504\\\Rightarrow W_n=942.68\ N

Scale reading while the elevator is accelerating upward is 942.68 N.

A car is traveling at 24.0 m/s when the driver suddenly applies the brakes, causing the car to slow down with constant accelerat
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The answer to your question is : vf = 15.18 m/s

Explanation:

Data

vo = 24 m/s

d = 120 m

vf = ? when d = 60.0 m

Formula

              vf² = vo²  + 2ad

For d =100m

            a = (vf² - vo²) / 2d

            a = (0 -24²) / 2(100)

            a = -576/200

             a = 2.88 m/s²

Now, when d = 60

        vf² = (24)² - 2(2.88)(60)

        vf² = 576 - 345.6

        vf² = 230.4

        vf = 15.18 m/s

A mechanic pushes a 2.30 ✕ 103-kg car from rest to a speed of v, doing 4,800 J of work in the process. During this time, the car
Illusion [34]

The horizontal force applied is  160 N while the velocity is  2.03 m/s.

<h3>What is the speed of the car?</h3>

The work done by the car is obtained as the product of the force and the distance;

W = F x

F = ?

x = 30.0 m

W = 4,800 J

F = 4,800 J/30.0 m

F = 160 N

But F = ma

a = F/m

a = 160 N/2.30 ✕ 10^3-kg

a= 0.069 m/s

Now;

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

u = 0/ms because the car started from rest

v = √2as

v = √2 * 0.069 * 30

v = 2.03 m/s
