Answer:

The elevator is accelerating downwards.

Explanation:

When an elevator accelerating downward it moves together with the person inside and the weight of the person does not change, but if the person is standing on a scale the contact force between the person and the scale is reduced.  The scale therefore has to push upward with less force on the person to support the person's weight. Therefore the Normal Force is smaller, so the reading on the scale becomes less than the true weight.

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

a) \Delta{t} = 5.39s

b) the motorcycle travels 155 m

Explanation:

Let t_2-t_1 = \Delta{t}, then consider the equation of motion for the motorcycle (accelerated) and for the car (non accelerated):

v_{m2}=v_0+a\Delta{t}\\x+d=(\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2} )\Delta{t}\\v_c = v_0 = \frac{x}{\Delta{t}}

where:

v_{m2} is the speed of the motorcycle at time 2

v_{c} is the velocity of the car (constant)

v_{0} is the velocity of the car and the motorcycle at time 1

d is the distance between the car and the motorcycle at time 1

x is the distance traveled by the car between time 1 and time 2

Solving the system of equations:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}car&motorcycle\\x=v_0\Delta{t}&x+d=(\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}}) \Delta{t}\end{array}\right]

v_0\Delta{t}=\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}\Delta{t}-d \\\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}\Delta{t}-v_0\Delta{t}=d\\(v_0+v_{m2})\Delta{t}-2v_0\Delta{t}=2d\\(v_0+v_0+a\Delta{t})\Delta{t}-2v_0\Delta{t}=2d\\(2v_0+a\Delta{t})\Delta{t}-2v_0\Delta{t}=2d\\a\Delta{t}^2=2d\\\Delta{t}=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2*58}{4}}=\sqrt{29}=5.385s

For the second part, we need to calculate x+d, so you can use the equation of the car to calculate x:

x = v_0\Delta{t}= 18\sqrt{29}=96.933m\\then:\\x+d = 154.933

A train, traveling at a constant speed of 25.8 m/s, comes to an incline with a constant slope. While going up the incline, the t
zhannawk [14.2K]

The final velocity of the train after 8.3 s on the incline will be 12.022 m/s.

Answer:

Explanation:

So in this problem, the initial speed of the train is at 25.8 m/s before it comes to incline with constant slope. So the acceleration or the rate of change in velocity while moving on the incline is given as 1.66 m/s². So the final velocity need to be found after a time period of 8.3 s. According to the first equation of motion, v = u +at.

So we know the values for parameters u,a and t. Since, the train slows down on the slope, so the acceleration value will have negative sign with the magnitude of acceleration. Then

v = 25.8 + (-1.66×8.3)

v =12.022 m/s.

So the final velocity of the train after 8.3 s on the incline will be 12.022 m/s.

Recall specific heat of water is 4186 j/kg/C. Find the specific heat of sample.
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Shown by explanation;

Explanation:

The heat of the sample = mass ×specific heat capacity of the sample × temperature change(∆T)

Assumption;I assume the mass of the samples are : 109g and 192g

∆T= 30.1-21=8.9°c.

The heat of the samples are for 109g are:

0.109 × 4186 × 8.9 =4060.84J

For 0.192g are;

∆T= 67-30.1-=36.9°c

0.192 × 4186×36.9=29656.97J

What is the value of the equivalent resistance for the three resistors connected in series?
Harman [31]

The value of the equivalent resistance for the three resistors connected in series will be the sum of the three values.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the equivalent resistance.

<h3>What is meant by equivalent resistance?</h3>
  • equivalent resistance is the total value of the resistance connected in a circuit.
  • If n resistors are connected in series, then the equivalent resistance will be,

                R_E=R_1+R_2+..........+R_n

  • In our question we have three resistors. Thus, the equivalent resistance will be,

               R_E=R_1+R_2+R_3

Thus, we can conclude that, the value of the equivalent resistance for the three resistors connected in series will be the sum of the three values.
