The Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the world's tallest building. The structure is 828 m 828 m (2716.5 ft) and has more than 160 storie

s. A tourist is obviously using the elevator to reach their hotel room and after a long ride finally arrives at the correct floor, where the tourist has − 2.01 × 10 5 J −2.01×105 J of potential energy. If the 86.4 kg 86.4 kg tourist has zero potential energy at the top of the building, how high ( h ) (h) is the hotel room from the ground? The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m / s 2 .

Answer:

h = height of the hotel room from the ground floor = 237.4m

Explanation:

Change in Potential Energy of tourist = ΔPE = PE2 – PE1 = mgh

PE1 is the potential energy of tourist at the ground floor

PE1 is the potential energy of tourist at the top (hotel room)

Given

PE1 = − 2.01 × 10⁵ J

PE2 = 0J

PE2 – PE1 = mgh

0 – (− 2.01 × 10⁵ J) = mgh

2.01 × 10⁵ J = 86.4×9.8×h

h = 2.01 × 10⁵/(86.4×9.8) = 237.4m

A wire along the z axis carries a current of 6.8 A in the z direction Find the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on a
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Force is 14.93N along positive y axis.

Explanation:

We know that force 'F' on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field of intensity B is given by

\overrightarrow{F}=\overrightarrow{Il}\times \overrightarrow{B}

where L is the length of the conductor

Applying values in the equation we have force F =

\overrightarrow{F}=6.8\times 6.1\widehat{k}\times 0.36\widehat{i}\\\\\overrightarrow{F}=41.48\widehat{k}\times 0.36\widehat{i}\\\\\therefore \overrightarrow{F}=14.93N\widehat{j}

Thus force is 14.93N along positive y axis.

If we put negative charge between two similar positive charges then what is it's equilibrium? And how?​
Gnesinka [82]

Your question has been heard loud and clear.

Well it depends on the magnitude of charges. Generally , when both positive charges have the same magnitude , their equilibrium point is towards the centre joining the two charges. But if magnitude of one positive charge is higher than the other , then the equilibrium point will be towards the charge having lesser magnitude.

Now , a negative charge is placed in between the two positive charges. So , if both positive charges have same magnitude , they both pull the negative charge towards each other with an equal force. Thus the equilibrium point will be where the negative charge is placed because , both forces are equal , and opposite , so they cancel out each other at the point where the negative charge is placed. However if they are of different magnitudes , then the equilibrium point will be shifted towards the positive charge having less magnitude.

Thank you

A person of mass 70 kg stands at the center of a rotating merry-go-round platform of radius 2.9 m and moment of inertia 900 kg⋅m
Cloud [144]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of person, m = 70 kg

Radius of merry go round, r = 2.9 m

The moment of inertia, I_1=900\ kg.m^2

Initial angular velocity of the platform, \omega=0.95\ rad/s

Part A,

Let \omega_2 is the angular velocity when the person reaches the edge. We need to find it. It can be calculated using the conservation of angular momentum as :

I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2

Here, I_2=I_1+mr^2

I_1\omega_1=(I_1+mr^2)\omega_2

900\times 0.95=(900+70\times (2.9)^2)\omega_2

Solving the above equation, we get the value as :

\omega_2=0.574\ rad/s

Part B,

The initial rotational kinetic energy is given by :

k_i=\dfrac{1}{2}I_1\omega_1^2

k_i=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 900\times (0.95)^2

k_i=406.12\ rad/s

The final rotational kinetic energy is given by :

k_f=\dfrac{1}{2}(I_1+mr^2)\omega_1^2

k_f=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (900+70\times (2.9)^2)(0.574)^2

k_f=245.24\ rad/s

Hence, this is the required solution.
