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.

If a mass of .343 kg moves down a 5m ramp in 5.8 seconds, what is the velocity and KE developed by the moving mass
Soloha48 [4]

Velocity 0.86m/s

0.13J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass = 0.343kg

distance = 5m

time taken = 5.8s

Unknown:

Velocity of mass = ?

Kinetic energy = ?

Solution:

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time. It is a vector quantity that shows magnitude and direction.

 Mathematically;

   Velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}

  Velocity  = \frac{5}{5.8 } = 0.86m/s

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. It is expressed mathematically as:

  Kinetic energy  = \frac{1}{2}  m v^{2}

m is the mass

v is the velocity

  Kinetic energy  = \frac{1}{2 }   x    0.343  x    0.86^{2} = 0.13J

A 120 kg box is on the verge of slipping down an inclined plane with an angle of inclination of 47º. What is the coefficient of
Alex_Xolod [135]

Given :

A 120 kg box is on the verge of slipping down an inclined plane with an angle of inclination of 47º.

To Find :

The coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane.

Solution :

Vertical component of force :

mg\ sin\ \theta =  120\times 10 \times sin\ 47^\circ{}=877.62 \ N

Horizontal component of force(Normal reaction) :

mg\ cos\ \theta =  120\times 10 \times cos\ 47^\circ{}=818.40 \ N

Since, box is on the verge of slipping :

mg\ sin\ \theta= \mu(mg \ cos\ \theta)\\\\\mu = tan \ \theta\\\\\mu = tan\ 47^o\\\\\mu = 1.07

Therefore, the coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane is 1.07.

Hence, this is the required solution.

2. Below are four velocity vs. time graphs. Which graph represents the motion of an object that
Airida [17]

Answer:

Answer (b)

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity in time, therefore constant acceleration will be changing velocity in direct proportion to time and will have a linear plot on a velocity/time chart. This eliminates answer (d) which has an increasing acceleration in time

answer (a) has a negative slope so the acceleration would be considered negative

answer (c) has zero slope so acceleration is zero and velocity is constant.

answer (b) has the required positive slope and acceleration
