Answer:

The maximum height reached is 4.63 m.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the man (u) = 31.0 m/s

Speed at the top of trajectory (u_x) = 29.5 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

When the man reaches the top of the trajectory, the vertical component of velocity becomes zero and hence only horizontal component of velocity acts on him.

Also, since there is no net force acting in the horizontal direction, the acceleration is zero in the horizontal direction from Newton's second law. Thus, the horizontal component of velocity always remains the same.

So, speed at the top of trajectory is nothing but the horizontal component of initial velocity.

Now, initial velocity can be rewritten in terms of its components as:

u^2=u_x^2+u_y^2

Where, u_x\ and\ u_y are the initial horizontal and vertical velocities of the man.

Now, plug in the given values and simplify. This gives,

(31.0)^2=(29.5)^2+u_y^2\\\\961=870.25+u_y^2\\\\u_y^2=961-870.25\\\\u_y^2=90.75\ m^2/s^2--------1

Now, we know that, for a projectile motion, the maximum height is given as:

H=\frac{u_y^2}{2g}

Plug in the value from equation (1) and 9.8 for 'g' to solve for 'H'. This gives,

H=\frac{90.75}{2\times 9.8}\\\\H=4.63\ m

Therefore, the maximum height reached is 4.63 m.

If each washer has a mass of 4.9 g, then the mass of two washers in kilograms would be Given that F = ma, and if 4 washers are a
zysi [14]

Given that,

Mass of each washer  = 4.9 g

We need to calculate the mass of two washers in kg

Using conversion of unit

Mass of each washer m= 4.9\times10^{-3}\ Kg

So, Mass of two washers is

M=2\times m

Put the value of m

M=2\times4.9\times10^{-3}\ k

M=0.0098\ Kg

If 4 washer are attached to the spring

We need to calculate the applied force on the car

Using formula of force

F=mg

Put the value into the formula

F=4\times4.9\times10^{-3}\times9.8

F=0.192\ N

Hence, (i), The mass of two washers is 0.0098 kg.

(ii). The applied force on the car is 0.192 N.

You are designing an elevator for a hospital. The force exerted on a passenger by the floor of the elevator is not to exceed 1.5
inn [45]

Answer:

maximum speed of the elevator is 6.54 m/s

Explanation:

given,

force exerted on the elevator is 1.59 times passenger weight.

when the elevator accelerates upward with rate of a.

total force

F    =  m × (a+g)

1.59× mg  = ma + mg        

0.59 mg = ma                    

a = 0.59 g            

we also have that

v^2 = u^2+ 2 a s         

v =\sqrt{2a*s}                    

  =\sqrt(2\times 0.59\times 9.8\times 3.7)

  = 6.54 m/s

maximum speed of the elevator is 6.54 m/s
