A person is standing on an elevator initially at rest at the first floor of a high building. The elevator then begins to ascend

to the sixth floor, which is a known distance h above the starting point. The elevator undergoes an unknown constant acceleration of magnitude a for a given time interval T. Then the elevator moves at a constant velocity for a time interval 4T. Finally the elevator brakes with an acceleration of magnitude a, (the same magnitude as the initial acceleration), for a time interval T until stopping at the sixth floor.

Answer:

The found acceleration in terms of h and t is:

a=\frac{h}{5(t_1)^2}

Explanation:

(The complete question is given in the attached picture. We need to find the acceleration in terms of h and t in this question)

We are given 3 stages of movement of elevator. We'll first model them each of the stage one by one to find the height covered in each stage. After that we'll find the total height covered by adding heights covered in each stage, and equate it to Total height h. From that we can find the formula for acceleration.

<h3></h3><h3>Stage 1</h3>

Constant acceleration, starts from rest.

Distance = y = \frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2

Velocity = v_1=at_1

<h3>Stage 2</h3>

Constant velocity where

Velocity = v_o=v_1=at_1

Distance =

<h3>y_2=v_2(t_2)\\\text{Where~}t_2=4t_1 ~\text{and}~ v_2=v_1=at_1\\y_2=(at_1)(4t_1)\\y_2=4a(t_1)^2\\</h3><h3 /><h3>Stage 3</h3>

Constant deceleration where

Velocity = v_0=v_1=at_1

Distance =

y_3=v_1t_3-\frac{1}{2}a(t_3)^2\\\text{Where}~t_3=t_1\\y_3=v_1t_1-\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2\\\text{Where}~ v_1t_1=a(t_1)^2\\y_3=a(t_1)^2-\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2\\\text{Subtracting both terms:}\\y_3=\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2

<h3>Total Height</h3>

Total height = y₁ + y₂ + y₃

Total height = \frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2+4a(t_1)^2+\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2 = 5a(t_1)^2

<h3 /><h3>Acceleration</h3>

Find acceleration by rearranging the found equation of total height.

Total Height = h

h = 5a(t₁)²

a=\frac{h}{5(t_1)^2}

A 100 kg roller coaster comes over the first hill at 2 m/sec (vo). The height of the first hill (h) is 20 meters. See roller dia
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

For the 100 kg roller coaster that comes over the first hill of height 20 meters at 2 m/s, we have:

1) The total energy for the roller coaster at the <u>initial point</u> is 19820 J

2) The potential energy at <u>point A</u> is 19620 J

3) The kinetic energy at <u>point B</u> is 10010 J

4) The potential energy at <u>point C</u> is zero

5) The kinetic energy at <u>point C</u> is 19820 J

6) The velocity of the roller coaster at <u>point C</u> is 19.91 m/s

1) The total energy for the roller coaster at the <u>initial point</u> can be found as follows:

E_{t} = KE_{i} + PE_{i}

Where:

KE: is the kinetic energy = (1/2)mv₀²

m: is the mass of the roller coaster = 100 kg

v₀: is the initial velocity = 2 m/s

PE: is the potential energy = mgh

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h: is the height = 20 m

The<em> total energy</em> is:

E_{t} = KE_{i} + PE_{i} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{0}^{2} + mgh = \frac{1}{2}*100 kg*(2 m/s)^{2} + 100 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*20 m = 19820 J

Hence, the total energy for the roller coaster at the <u>initial point</u> is 19820 J.

   

2) The <em>potential energy</em> at point A is:

PE_{A} = mgh_{A} = 100 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*20 m = 19620 J

Then, the potential energy at <u>point A</u> is 19620 J.

3) The <em>kinetic energy</em> at point B is the following:

KE_{A} + PE_{A} = KE_{B} + PE_{B}

KE_{B} = KE_{A} + PE_{A} - PE_{B}

Since

KE_{A} + PE_{A} = KE_{i} + PE_{i}

we have:

KE_{B} = KE_{i} + PE_{i} - PE_{B} =  19820 J - mgh_{B} = 19820 J - 100kg*9.81m/s^{2}*10 m = 10010 J

Hence, the kinetic energy at <u>point B</u> is 10010 J.

4) The <em>potential energy</em> at <u>point C</u> is zero because h = 0 meters.

PE_{C} = mgh = 100 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*0 m = 0 J

5) The <em>kinetic energy</em> of the roller coaster at point C is:

KE_{i} + PE_{i} = KE_{C} + PE_{C}            

KE_{C} = KE_{i} + PE_{i} = 19820 J      

Therefore, the kinetic energy at <u>point C</u> is 19820 J.

6) The <em>velocity</em> of the roller coaster at point C is given by:

KE_{C} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{C}^{2}

v_{C} = \sqrt{\frac{2KE_{C}}{m}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*19820 J}{100 kg}} = 19.91 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the roller coaster at <u>point C</u> is 19.91 m/s.

When are magnets attracted and when are they repelled.
vova2212 [387]
Magnets are attracted when each of the different sides, most commonly known as "North" and "South", are facing each other. They repel when North and North, or South and South are facing each other.
