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}

How is reflection of light used in research
mel-nik [20]

In order to read the publications of his peers, or read his own notes of the work
that he did on the previous day, or find his coffee mug on his desk in the lab, the
research scientist must arrange to have each of them illuminated with visible
wavelengths of light, and then he must catch the light reflected from each of them
with his eyes.

A shell is fired at an angle of 35° above the horizontal at a velocity of 40 m/s. (a) What is it's speed at the highest point of
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Part a)

v_f = v_x = 32.77 m/s

Part b)

T = 4.68 s

Explanation:

Part a)

Shell is fired at speed of 40 m/s at angle of 35 degree

so here we have

v_x = 40 cos35 = 32.77 m/s

v_y = 40 sin35 = 22.94 m/s

since gravity act opposite to vertical speed of the shell so at the highest point of its trajectory the vertical component of the speed will become zero

so at the highest point the speed is given

v_f = 32.77 m/s

Part b)

After completing the motion we know that the displacement of the object will be zero in Y direction

so we have

\Delta y = 0

0 = v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

T = \frac{2v_y}{g}

T = \frac{2(22.94)}{9.81} = 4.68 s

Given the information below, estimate the total distance travelled during these 6 seconds using a left endpoint approximation. t
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

184 feets

Explanation:

Given the data:

time (sec) __ velocity (ft/sec)

0 __________30

1 __________ 54

2 __________56

3 __________34

4 __________ 8

5 __________ 2

6 __________22

Using left end approximation:

(0,1) ___ f(0) = 30

(1,2) ___ f(1) = 54

(2,3) ___f(2) = 56

(3,4) ___f(3) = 34

(4,5) ___f(4) = 8

(5,6) __ f(5) = 2

Hence, the Total distance traveled during the 6 second interval is:

Change ; dT = 1

1 * (30 + 54 + 56 + 34 + 8 + 2) = 184
