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,

How is temperature related to the physical change of a substance?
WINSTONCH [101]
When you heat something of cool it down you don't change the substance you might change the why is looks, but it is still the same substance. For example you cool water to 0 degrees Celsius it turns into ice but it still is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen H2O. Physical changes will change state and/or form but it will still be what it originally was on the molecular level. Hope that helped.

Group of physics students are asked to demonstrate Ohm’s Law in parallel circuits.  Using their knowledge of Ohm’s Law and the r
astra-53 [7]

The student’s suggestion who provides enough evidence to be able to determine the value of each resistor is student D.

<h3>What is current?</h3>

The current is the stream of charges which flow inside the conductors when connected across the end of voltage.

For the given set of parallel resistors, we need to find the resistance of each resistor.

From the Ohm's law, V =IR

R = V/I

Resistance value depends upon the voltage difference across the resistor and the current flowing through that resistance.

Thus, the student D gives enough evidence to find resistance of the circuit is

A 10 kg brick and a 1 kg book are dropped in a vacuum. The force of gravity on the 10 kg brick is what?
Nadya [2.5K]
<span>10 times as much. Since F=m*a, and a is constant, the only thing that affects force is the mass.

In response to the below answer, the acceleration due to gravity does not change. The force due to gravity definitely DOES change depending on the mass of the object. Since the force is what the problem asks for, the answer is 10</span>
