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.

Answer:

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Explanation:

Let's say I threw a ball on the wall. The image shows the instance the ball comes into contact with the wall.

If you would look at the image above,

- F1 and F2 are acting in opposite directions.

- They both have the same magnitude too.

F1 is the force of the ball on the wall (action force) and F2 is the force of the wall on the ball (reaction force). This is called an action-reaction pair.

You are traveling on a plane trip from Washington, D.C. to Cleveland, Ohio and the plane uses 1,260 MJ/passenger trip. If you ma
forsale [732]

Answer:

8.87 gallons of kerosene

Explanation:

Step 1: Given and required data

  • Energy to travel by plane per passenger trip: 1,260 MJ/passenger trip
  • Energy per gallon of kerosene: 142 MJ/gal

Step 2: Calculate how many gallons of kerosene it takes to make the trip by plane

We can calculate the amount of kerosene required by combining the factor provided in Step 1.

1 gal/142 MJ × 1,260 MJ/passenger trip = 8.87 gal/passenger trip

8.87 gallons of kerosene are required to make the trip by plane.

A cart has a velocity of 10.0 meter per second as it moves southward. What is its final velocity after moving 200 meters if it i
amm1812

Answer:

the final velocity of the cart is 30 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the cart, u = 10 m/s

distance moved by the cart, d = 200 m

acceleration of the cart, a = 2.0 m/s²

The final velocity of the cart is calculated as;

v² = u² + 2ad

where;

v is the final velocity

v²  = 10² + 2(2)(200)

v² = 900

v = √900

v = 30 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the cart is 30 m/s

Crossed electric and magnetic fields are established over a certain region. The magnetic field is 0.669 T vertically downward. T
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The speed  is v = 3.946 *10^6 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The magnetic  field is  B =  0.669\ T

      The electric field is  E = 2.64 *10^{6} \ V/m

     

Generally the speed of the electron is mathematically represented as

               v = \frac{E}{B}

    Substituting values

                v = \frac{2.64 *10^6}{0.669}

                v = 3.946 *10^6 \ m/s
