You walk into an elevator, step onto a scale, and push the "down" button to go directly from the tenth floor to the first floor.

You also recall that your normal weight is w= 635 N. If the elevator has an initial acceleration of magnitude 2.45 m/s2, what does the scale read? Express your answer in newtons.

Answer: 479. 425 N

Explanation: the calculation of a body in an elevator obeys Newton law. When it is accelerating upward, the scale reading is greater than the true weight of the person.

It is given by N= m(g+a)

When it is accelerating downward, the scale reading is less than the true weight.

It so given by N = m(g-a)

Answer:

<em>the scale will read 476.414 N</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Weight = 635 N

mass = (weight) ÷ (acceleration due to gravity 9.81 m/^2)

mass m = 635 ÷ 9.81 = 64.729 kg

initial acceleration of the elevator a = 2.45 m/s^2

<em>the force produced by the acceleration of the elevator downwards = ma</em>

<em>your body inertia force try to counteract this force, by a force equal and opposite to the direction of this force, leading to an apparent weight loss</em>

apparent weight = weight - ma

apparent weight = 635 - (64.729 x 2.45)

apparent weight =  635 - 158.586  = <em>476.414 N</em>

17. A volleyball weighs about 300 grams.
atroni [7]

Answer:

PE = 44.1 J

Explanation:

Ok, to have the specific data, the first thing we must do is convert from grams to kilograms. Since mass must always be in kilograms (kg)

We have:

  • 1 kilograms = 1000 grams.

We convert it using a rule of 3, replacing, simplifying units and solving:

  • \boxed{\bold{x=\frac{gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ kg}{1000}=\boxed{\bold{0.3\ kg}}}}

==================================================================

Earth's gravity is known to be 9.8 m/s², so we have:

Data:

  • m = 0.3 kg
  • g = 9.8 m/s²
  • h = 15 m
  • PE = ?

Use formula of potencial energy:

  • \boxed{\bold{PE=m*g*h}}

Replace and solve:

  • \boxed{\bold{PE=0.3\ kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*15\ m}}
  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{PE=44.1\ J}}}

Since the decimal number, that is, the number after the comma is less than 5, it cannot be rounded, then we have this result.

The potential energy of the volleyball is <u>44.1 Joules.</u>

Greetings.

Answer:

Friction

Explanation:

As the toy cars rolls away, more friction is created. The more friction there is, the more friction on surface rubs against another which creates friction which in-term slows it down. Hope this helps.

How old are the hydrogen atoms in water?
topjm [15]

Answer: 4.5 billion years

Explanation:

Some of the water molecules in your drinking glass were created more than 4.5 billion years ago, according to new research.

That makes them older than the Earth, older than the solar system — even older than the sun itself.

A 95.0kg weightlifter pushes on a 800,000 kg wall for 400s but it does not move. How much work does he do on the wall?
Soloha48 [4]
<span>The weightlifter does no work. Although he has exerted force, work is the product of force over distance. Since he has not moved the wall he has done no work.</span>
