A 57 kg woman is on an elevator accelerating upward at "1.25" meters per second squared. what is the normal force acting on her?

Physics

Answer:

Normal force acting on the woman is 629.85 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the woman is, m=57\textrm{ kg}

Net upward acceleration is, a=1.25\textrm{ }m/s^{2}

Acceleration due to gravity, g=9.8\textrm{ }m/s^{2}

Let the normal force acting upward be R newtons.

Therefore, net force in the upward direction is given as:

Net force = Upward force - Downward force.

Downward force acting on the woman is her weight which is equal to mg.

Therefore, Net force = R-mg

Now, as per Newton's second law of motion,

Net force, F_{net}=ma

So,

R-mg=ma\\R=mg+ma\\R=m(g+a)

Plug in 57 kg for m, 9.8 m/s² for g, and 1.25 m/s² for a. Solve for R. This gives,

R=57(9.8+1.25)\\R=57(11.05)=629.85\textrm{ N}

Therefore, the normal force acting on her is 629.85 N.

A 50 kg astronaut floating in space throws her 2 kg wrench to the left at 10
Hoochie [10]

The astronaut will move at 0.4 m/s in the opposite direction to the wrench

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum of the astronaut-wrench system must be conserved before and after the launch.

Before the launch, the total momentum is zero, since the astronaut is at rest:

p = 0 (1)

After the launch, the total momentum is:

p=mv+MV (2)

where :

m = 2 kg is the mass of the wrench

v = 10 m/s is the velocity of the wrench

M = 50 kg is the mass of the astronaut

V is the recoil velocity of the astronaut

Since momentum is conserved, we can write (1) = (2), and so we can solve for V:

0=mv+MV\\V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(2)(10)}{50}=-0.4 m/s

And the negative sign means that the astronaut will move in the opposite direction to the wrench.
