An escalator is 18.3 m long. If a person stands on the escalator, it takes 47.8 s to ride from the bottom to the top. If a perso

n walks up the moving escalator with a speed of 0.521 m/s relative to the escalator, how long does it take the person to get to the top?

Answer:

20.243 s

Explanation:

Because the escalator and person moving in the same direction, relative velocity can be calculated by summing the velocity of the escalator and velocity of the person.  

The speed of escalator can be calculated as,

v_{escalator}=\frac{x}{t}=\frac{18.3}{47.8}=0.383\ m/s

Relative velocity

v_{relative}=v_{escalator}+v_{person}\\\\v_{relative}=0.383+0.521=0.904\ m/s\\

Therefore total time required to take the person to get to the top

t=\frac{x}{v_{relative}}= \frac{18.3}{0.904}=20.243\ s

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity v and an initial kinetic energy Ek. When half way to the top of its flight,
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Option A

\frac{V}{\sqrt{2} } ,\frac{E}{2}

Explanation:

When the ball its thrown up, at half way of its flight it means half of its vertical height which is \frac{h}{2}.  

potential energy = mgh

since it moved half way of height

P.E = \frac{mgh}{2}

This means for the body to have gained half of its P.E, it will loose half of its kinetic energy.

Final kinetic energy(E_{1}) = E/2

kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

let the final velocity at halfway flight be v1

E_{1} = E/2

\frac{1}{2}mv_{1}^{2} =\frac{\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}}{2}

cross multiply we have

mv_{1}^{2} =\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

cancel m from both sides

v_{1}^{2} = \frac{1}{2}v^{2}

take the square root of both sides,

v_{1} =\sqrt{\frac{v^{2} }{2} }

v_{1} =\frac{v}{\sqrt{2} }

Thus our final velocities will be E/2 and \frac{v}{\sqrt{2} }

What happens when the elevator is in free-fall, that is, what is the value for FN and what is the sensation experienced by the p
Komok [63]

Answer:

Weightlessness

Explanation:

When the elevator is in free fall, this can only occur when the cord of the elevator breaks.

The acceleration of the elevator will be equal to the acceleration due to gravity. That is:

a = g

Then, the body will experience what we called WEIGHTLESSNESS

Where the normal reaction N of the person will tend to zero. That is

N = 0

The value of FN < 0 because the person inside the lift will experience weightlessness.
