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.

Find the momentum of a 15 kg object traveling at 7 m/s
S_A_V [24]

<em>Find the momentum of a 15 kg object traveling at 7 m/s.</em>

The momentum of an object is found by using the following formula:

\displaystyle p=mv

  • P is the momentum and is measured in kg · m/s
  • m is the mass and is measured in kg
  • v is the velocity and is measured in m/s

In this question, the object is 15 kg and is travelling at 7 m/s. That means the mass is 15 kg and the velocity is 7 m/s.

Since all the needed variables are found, substitute it into the equation:

\displaystyle p=mv \rightarrow p=15 \times 7

Multiply:

\displaystyle p=105\ kg \times m/s

__________________________________________________________

What is the momentum? 105 kg · m/s

What is the velocity? 7 m/s

What is the mass? 15 kg

What equation did you use to solve? p = mv
