You are moving into an apartment and take the elevator to the 6th floor. Suppose your weight is 660 N and that of your belonging

s is 1100 N. (a) Determine the work done by the elevator in lifting you and your belongings up to the 6th floor (15.2 m) at a constant velocity. (b) How much work does the elevator do on you alone (without belongings) on the downward trip, which is also made at a constant velocity

Answer:

Explanation:

Total weight

My weight+weight of belongings

660+1100=1760N.

a. Work done by the elevator to travel a total height of 15.2m

Using newton law of motion

ΣF = ma

There are only two forces acting upward, the weight and the reaction by the elevator

Also note it is moving at constant velocity then, a=0

N - W=0

Then, N=W

N=1760N

So, workdone is given as

Wordone, =force × distance

Work done=1760×15.2

W=26,752J

W=26.752KJ

b. Work done on me alone is still need to go through the same process but will remove the weight of the belonging

Therefore,

Weight now = 660N

And using the same equation of motion

ΣF = ma

Comstant velocity, a=0

N - W=0

N=W

N=660N

Then, workdone

W=F×d

W=660×15.2

W=10,032J

W=10.032KJ

Answer:

A, 26752J

B, -10032J

Explanation:

See attachment below

Since the elevator is moving at a constant speed, we can then say

F(elev)=W(total)

While going up, the displacement is pointing upwards

W(up) = F*S = F*S cos0° = F*S

Since forces F and S point in the same direction, the angle in between them, thus is zero. We also know, F(elev) is the upward weight. Thus

W(up) = F*S = W(total)*S =

= (660N+1100N)*15.2m

= 1760N * 15.2m

= 26752J

While going downwards, the displacement S is pointing down and the weight going down is just the person, so we have

W(down) = F*S = F*S cos180° = -F*S

W(down) = -F*S = -W(total)*S

= -660 * 15.2

= - 10032J

Thus,

Help with this question plz and show how you got it :) tysm!

The hardest part of the job is to find the right formula to use, and write it down. You've already done that ! The rest is just turning the crank until an answer falls out.

You wrote. E = m g h.
Beautiful.
Now divide each side by (g h), and you'll have the formula for mass:

m = E / (g h).

You know all the numbers on the right side. Just pluggum in, do the arithmetic, and you'll have the mass.

Describe the friction of smooth surfaces
cluponka [151]

When two surfaces slide against each other, a force called friction makes them stick very slightly together. Smooth surfaces, like ice and glass, are easy to slide over. They create very little friction. Rough surfaces like rock and sand create much more friction, and are easy to grip on to.

hope it helps...!!!
