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}

Answer:

1.moon

2.Earth is the first planet with a satellite, or moon.

3.Mars, the fourth planet out, has two moons, but they are probably just a couple of big old rocks.

5.The incoming object was destroyed on impact, reduced to vapor, dust, and chunks. Large surviving parts were driven deep into the interior of Earth. A signicant portion of Earth was destroyed as well. The energy that resulted from the crash produced an explosion of unimaginable magnitude.

Two children hang by their hands from the same tree branch. The branch is straight, and grows out from the tree trunk at an angl
vazorg [7]

Answer:879.29 N-m

Explanation:

Given

mass of first child m_1=44 kg

distance of first child from tree is r_1=1 m

tree is inclined at an angle of \theta =27^{\circ}

mass of second child m_1=27 kg

distance of second child from tree is r_2=2.1 m

Weight of first child=m_1g=431.2 kg

Weight of second child=m_2g=264.6 kg

Torque of first child weight=m_1g\cos \theta \cdot r_1

T_1=44\times 9.8\times \cos 27\times 1=384.202 N-m

Torque of second child weight=m_2g\cos \theta \cdot r_2

T_2=27\times 9.8\times \cos 27\times 2.1=495.096 N-m

Net torque T_{net}=T_1+T_2=384.202+495.096=879.29 N-m

Consider an electron confined in a region of nuclear dimensions (about 5 fm). Find its minimumpossible kinetic energy in MeV. Tr
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

39.40 MeV

Explanation:

<u>Determine the minimum possible Kinetic energy </u>

width of region = 5 fm

From Heisenberg's uncertainty relation below

ΔxΔp ≥ h/2 , where : 2Δx = 5fm ,  Δpc = hc/2Δx = 39.4 MeV

when we apply this values using the relativistic energy-momentum relation

E^2 = ( mc^2)^2 + ( pc )^2 = 39.4 MeV ( right answer ) because the energy grows quadratically in nonrelativistic approximation,

Also in a nuclear confinement ( E, P >> mc )

while The large value will portray a Non-relativistic limit  as calculated below

K = h^2 / 2ma^2 = 1.52 GeV
