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}

M A sinusoidal wave on a string is described by the wave function
IceJOKER [234]

The frequency of the wave is determined as 7.96 Hz.

<h3>Frequency of the wave</h3>

The frequency of the wave is calculated as follows;

y = A sin(ωt - kx)

where;

  • A is amplitude of the wave
  • ω is angular speed of the wave

ω = 2πf

f = ω/2π

f = (50)/(2π)

f = 7.96 Hz

Thus, the frequency of the wave is determined as 7.96 Hz.

the horizontal velocity would be equal to
Vh = sin (40) /60
= 0.74 * 60
= 44

A bungee jumper has a mass of 60kg and uses a 25m long bungee cord (unstretched length) with an elastic coefficient of 800N/m. a
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

a ) 2.68 m / s

b )  1.47 m

Explanation:

The jumper will go down with acceleration as long as net force on it becomes zero . Net force of (mg - kx ) will act on it  where kx is the restoring force acting in upward direction.

At the time of equilibrium

mg - kx = 0

x = mg / k

= (60 x 9.8 ) / 800

= 0.735 m

At this moment , let its velocity be equal to V

Applying conservation of energy

kinetic energy of jumper + elastic energy of cord = loss of potential energy of the jumper

1/2 m V² + 1/2 k x² = mg x

.5 x 60 x V² + .5 x 800 x .735 x .735 = 60 x 9.8 x .735

30 V² + 216.09 = 432.18

V = 2.68 m / s

b ) At lowest point , kinetic energy is zero and loss of potential energy will be equal to stored elastic energy.

1/2 k x² = mgx

x = 2 m g / k

= (2 x 60 x 9.8) / 800

= 1.47 m
