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.

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using conservation of momentum

m_1=59+220=279kg

m_2=2.1kg

U_1=12m/s

U_2=-44m/s

m_1U_1+m_2U_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\\frac{278\times 12-2.1\times 44}{279+2.1}=V\\\\V=11.58m/s

leva [86]

Answer:

t = 2.52 billion \:years

Explanation:

As we know by radioactivity law

N = N_o e^{-\lambda t}

so here we will have

N = 3 mg

N_o = 12 mg

now we will have

3 = 12 e^{-\lambda t}

\lambda t = ln 4

now we also know that

\lambda = \frac{ln2}{1.26 \times 10^6 yrs}

t = 1.26\times 10^6\times \frac{ln4}{ln2}

t = 2.52 billion \:years

Anybody know these ?
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

1. a) 72 N.

2. a) 2 m/s².

Explanation:

Given the following data;

1. Mass = 90kg

Acceleration = 0.8 m/s²

To find the force;

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 90 * 0.8

Force = 72 Newton.

2. Mass = 50kg

Force = 100N

To find the magnitude of acceleration;

Acceleration = force/mass

Acceleration = 100/50

Acceleration = 2 m/s²
