A woman stands on a scale in a moving elevator. Her mass is 61.0 kg, and the combined mass of the elevator and scale is an addit

ional 815 kg. Starting from rest, the elevator accelerates upward. During the acceleration, the hoisting cable applies a force of 9850 N. What does the scale read during the acceleration?

First, we need to find the acceleration
F = ma
9850 N = (815 kg + 61 kg)a
a = 11.24

the read of the scale during the acceleration is :


mg + ma

= (61 kg x 9.8) +  (61 kg x 11.24)
= 1283.4 N

hope this helps

A stone is thrown vertically upwards with a speed of 30.0 m/s.
matrenka [14]

a)

Y₀ = initial position of the stone at the time of launch = 0 m

Y = final position of stone = 20.0 meters

a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

v₀ = initial speed of stone at the time of launch = 30.0 m/s

v = final speed = ?

Using the equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a (Y - Y₀)

inserting the values

v² = 30² + 2 (- 9.8) (20 - 0)

v = 22.5 m/s


b)

Y₀ = initial position of the stone at the time of launch = 0 m

Y = maximum height gained

a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

v₀ = initial speed of stone at the time of launch = 30.0 m/s

v = final speed = 0 m/s

Using the equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a (Y - Y₀)

inserting the values

0² = 30² + 2 (- 9.8) (Y - 0)

Y = 46 m

In a Young's double-slit experiment the separation distance y between the second-order bright fringe and the central bright frin
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

y = 0.0233 m

Explanation:

In a Young's Double Slit Experiment the distance between two consecutive bright fringes is given by the formula:

Δx = λL/d

where,

Δx = distance between fringes

λ = wavelength of light

L = Distance between screen and slits

d = Slit Separation

Now, for initial case:

λ = 425 nm = 4.25  x 10⁻⁷ m

y = 2Δx = 0.0177 m => Δx = 8.85 x 10⁻³ m

Therefore,

8.85 x 10⁻³ m = (4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m)L/d

L/d = (8.85 x 10⁻³ m)/(4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m)

L/d = 2.08 x 10⁴

using this for λ = 560 nm = 5.6 x 10⁻⁷ m:

Δx = (5.6 x 10⁻⁷ m)(2.08 x 10⁴)

Δx = 0.0116 m

and,

y = 2Δx

y = (2)(0.0116 m)

<u>y = 0.0233 m</u>

No, because the distance-time would show a constant velocity but the velocity-time graph shows an increasing velocity.

An important dimensionless parameter in certain types of fluid flow problems is the Froude number defined as V/√g.l where V is a
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1.24611

Explanation:

V = Velocity = 10 ft/s

L = Length = 2 ft

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s²

Froude number is given by

Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{32.2\times 2}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611

Converting to SI units

10\ ft/s=10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}

32.2\ ft/s^2=32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}

2\ ft=2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}

Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}{\sqrt{32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}\times 2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611

The Froude number is 1.24611

The Froude number is equal. The Froude number is dimensionless as the units cancel each other. In order for this to happen the units used need to be consitent either imperial or SI.
