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.
Answer:
2.93 m (which agrees with answer "C" on the list)
Explanation:
Recall that the speed of the wave equals the product of the wave's length times its frequency. Therefore, the wavelength is going to be the quotient of the speed of the signal divided its frequency:
Wavelength = 2.997 10^8 / 1.023 10^8 = 2.93 m
