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}

If the half-life of tritium (hydrogen-3) is 12.3 years, how much of
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

0.0000076 grams

Explanation:

We're given the half life of Tritium to be 12.3 years. In order to find out the amount of substabce remaining:

Let's first find how many 'half lives' are in 250 years.

n =  \frac{250}{12.3}  = 20.325

Now what is half life? It means the time taken for a given quantity of an element to lose half it's mass.

So in 12.3 years we can find that The amount of 250 g of Tritium will be 250/2 = 125 g. In 24.6 years we'll have 125/2 = 62.5 g

So now we can devise a formula:

m =  \frac{original \: amount}{ {2}^{n} }

Where m is the remaining amount and n is th number of half lives in the time given.

Using this formula we can calculate:

m =  \frac{10}{ {2}^{20.325} }

Doing this calculation we get:

m = 0.0000076 \: g

As we can see a very small value remains.

The emission of x rays can be described as an inverse photoelectric effect.
timama [110]

Answer:

The potential difference through which an electron accelerates to produce x rays is 1.24\times 10^4\ volts.                                                  

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of the x -rays, \lambda=0.1\ nm=0.1\times 10^{-9}\ m

The energy of the x- rays is given by :

E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

The energy of an electron in terms of potential difference is given by :

E=eV

So,

\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}=eV

V is the potential difference

e is the charge on electron

V=\dfrac{hc}{e\lambda}

V=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.1\times 10^{-9}}

V = 12431.25 volts

or

V=1.24\times 10^4\ volts

So, the potential difference through which an electron accelerates to produce x rays is 1.24\times 10^4\ volts. hence, this is the required solution.

How much heat in kilojoules is required to melt an ice cube with a mass of 18.6 g at 0 °C? The Lf for water is 333 J/g.
blagie [28]
Q = m.Lf.
Here, m = 18.6 g
Lf = 333 J/g 

Substitute their values, 
Q = 18.6 × 333 = 6193.8 J

We know, 1 KJ = 1000 J
So, 6193.8 J = 6.193 KJ

In short, Your Answer would be Option D

Hope this helps!
