Answer:
The found acceleration in terms of h and t is:
Explanation:
(The complete question is given in the attached picture. We need to find the acceleration in terms of h and t in this question)
We are given 3 stages of movement of elevator. We'll first model them each of the stage one by one to find the height covered in each stage. After that we'll find the total height covered by adding heights covered in each stage, and equate it to Total height h. From that we can find the formula for acceleration.
<h3>
</h3><h3>
Stage 1</h3>
Constant acceleration, starts from rest.
Distance = 
Velocity = 
<h3>Stage 2</h3>
Constant velocity where
Velocity = 
Distance =
<h3>
</h3><h3 /><h3>Stage 3</h3>
Constant deceleration where
Velocity = 
Distance =
<h3>Total Height</h3>
Total height = y₁ + y₂ + y₃
Total height = 
<h3 /><h3>Acceleration</h3>
Find acceleration by rearranging the found equation of total height.
Total Height = h
h = 5a(t₁)²
Answer:
b. varies inversely with the square of the distance from the center of Earth.
Explanation:
Comparing the Newton's law of universal gravitation and second law of motion;
from Newton's second law of motion,
F = ma ............. 1
from New ton's law of universal gravitation,
F = 
........... 2
Equating 1 and 2, we have;
mg =
g = 
Therefore, the acceleration due to gravity near Earth, g, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of Earth.
Answer:
81.6 m
Explanation:
Answer: 81.6 m.
The time it takes gravity to slow 40 m/s to zero when it teaches maximum height is
-v(initial) / -g = t
-40 m/s / -9.8 m/s^2 = 4.08 s
The height reached is the average velocity times this time 4.08 s, with v(avg) = [v(initial) + v(final)] / 2 with v(final) = 0. v(avg) = v(initial) / 2 = 40 m/s / 2 = 20 m/s.
So the distance d of maximum height is
d = v(avg)•t
d = 20 m/s • 4.08 s = 81.6 m.
C. A mechanical wave generally travels faster in gases than liquids.
