A 57-kg woman holds a 6-kg package as she stands within an elevator which briefly accelerates upward at a rate of 0.15g. Determi

ne the force R which the elevator floor exerts on her feet and the lifting force L which she exerts on the package during the acceleration interval. If the elevator support cables suddenly and completely fail, what values would R and L acquire

Answer:

R = 710.7N

L = 67.689 N

During gravity fall L = R = 0 N

Explanation:

So the acceleration that the elevator is acting on the woman (and the package) in order to result in a net acceleration of 0.15g is

g + 0.15g = 1.15g

The force R that the elevator exerts on her feet would be product of acceleration and total mass (Newton's 2nd law):

a(m + M) = 1.15g(57 + 6) = 1.15*9.81*63 = 710.7N

The force L that she exerts on the package would be:

am = 1.15g *6 = 1.15*9.81*6 = 67.689N

When the system is falling, all have a net acceleration of g. So the acceleration that the elevator exerts on the woman (and the package) is 0, and so are the forces L and R.

hodyreva [135]

Answer:Due to change in direction

Explanation:

Given

Initially train has traveled a 100 km in North and after exchanging some railroad cars, it traveled 100 in south.

The velocity of the train changes as it direction of motion changes. Velocity is the vector quantity which require direction and magnitude for its reperesentation.
