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.

Proposed Kinematic Exercise I
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

(a) 20 m

(b) 6 m/s²

(c) Between t=0 and t=2, the body moves to the left.

Between t=2 and t=4, the body moves to the right.

Explanation:

v = 3t² − 6t

x(0) = 4

(a) Position is the integral of velocity.

x = ∫ v dt

x = ∫ (3t² − 6t) dt

x = t³ − 3t² + C

Use initial condition to find value of C.

4 = 0³ − 3(0)² + C

4 = C

x = t³ − 3t² + 4

Find position at t = 4.

x = 4³ − 3(4)² + 4

x = 20

(b) Acceleration is the derivative of velocity.

a = dv/dt

a = 6t − 6

Find acceleration at t = 2.

a = 6(2) − 6

a = 6

(c) v = 3t² − 6t

v = 3t (t − 2)

The velocity is 0 at t = 0 and t = 2.  Evaluate the intervals.

When 0 < t < 2, v < 0.

When t > 2, v > 0.

You push a hockey puck that is initially at rest on slick ice by applying a constant force until the puck reaches a final veloci
stellarik [79]

Answer:

1. A

2. B or C

Explanation:

1.

F=ma, meaning that if you use two times more force on a constant mass, the acceleration must double. Acceleration is change in velocity, which means that if you are aiming for the same final velocity the change must happen in half of the time. Therefore, the correct answer is choice A.

2.

By Newton's first law, an object in motion will stay in motion unless an external force acts on it. Since there is nothing pushing the puck in the other direction, the puck will either keep on going for at a constant velocity or will reduce its speed gradually, depending on whether or not this ice is considered to be frictionless. Hope this helps!
