The Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the world's tallest building. The structure is 828 m (2,716.5 feet) and has more than 160 stories.

A tourist is obviously using the elevator to reach their hotel room and after a long ride finally arrives at the correct floor where the tourist has − 187000 J of potential energy. If the 184 lb tourist has zero potential energy at the top of the building, what is the height h of the hotel room above the ground? The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2.

Answer:

 h = 599.5 m

Explanation:

Given,

height of structure = 828 m

weight of the tourist = 184 lb

                                 = 184 x 0.45359 = 83.43 Kg

Potential energy = 187000 J

PE = m gd

d = \frac{PE}{mg}

d = \frac{187000}{83.43\times 9.81}

h = 228.5 m

Height of the room above the ground.

 h = 828 - 228.5

 h = 599.5 m

Height of the floor above ground is equal to 599.5 m.

A potential difference of 53 mV is developed across the ends of a 12.0-cm-longwire as it moves through a 0.27 T uniform magnetic
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The angle between the magnetic field and the wire’s velocity is 19.08 degrees.                                            

Explanation:

Given that,

Potential difference, V = 53 mV

Length of the wire, l = 12 cm = 0.12 m

Magnetic field, B = 0.27 T

Speed of the wire, v = 5 m/s

Due to its motion, an emf is induced in the wire. It is given by :

\epsilon=Blv\sin\theta

Here,

\theta is the angle between magnetic field and the wire’s velocity

\sin\theta=\dfrac{\epsilon}{Blv}\\\\\sin\theta=\dfrac{53\times 10^{-3}}{0.27\times 0.12\times 5}\\\\\sin\theta=0.327\\\\\theta=19.08^{\circ}

So, the angle between the magnetic field and the wire’s velocity is 19.08 degrees.

A force vector points due east and has a magnitude of 150 newtons. A second force is added to . The resultant of the two vectors
balandron [24]

Answer:

a. 240 N due east

b. 540 N due west

Explanation:

Let east be the reference direction

(a) if the resultant force has a magnitude of 390 N and points east, and the 1st force is 150N due East, then the additional force would also due east and has a magnitude of

390 - 150 = 240 N

(b) if the resultant force has a magnitude of 390 N and points west, it would be -390N is eastern reference, and the 1st force is 150N due East, then the additional force would also due east and has a magnitude of

-390 - 150 = -540 N

This force would point west

A mover uses a ramp to load a crate of nails onto a truck. The crate, which must be lifted 1.5 m from the street to the bed of t
jonny [76]

Answer:

<h2>3</h2>

Explanation:

Using the efficiency formula. Efficiency = MA/VR * 100%

MA = Mechanical Advantage

VR = velocity ratio = \frac{distance\ moved\ by\ effort}{distance\ moved\ by\ load}

Distance moved by effort = 4.5m

distance moved by load = 1.5m

VR = 4.5/1.5 =3

Assuming efficiency is 100% (since friction can be ignored)

100% = MA/3 * 100%

1 = MA/3

MA = 3*1

MA = 3

Mechanical Advantage of the ramp is 3
