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,

The spool has a mass of 50 kg and a radius of gyration of ko = 0.280 m. if the 20-kg block a is released from rest, determine th
Rzqust [24]
V₁ = (1/g)₁ = Way₁ = 20(9.81)(0) = 0
V₂ (Vg)₂ = -WAy₂ = -20(9.81)(0.5) = -98.1J
The kinetic energy because the pool rotates about a fixed axis 
W = VA/rA = VA/0.2 5VA
Mass momen of inertila about fixed axis which passes through point 0
I₀ = mko² = 50(0.280)² = 3.92 kg. m²
∴ The kinetic energy of the system is 
T = 1/2 I₀w² + 1/2mAVA²

= 1/2(3.92)(5VA)² + 1/2 (20) VA² = 59VA²
Now that the system is at rest then T₁ = 0
Energy conservation  is
T₁ +V₁ = T₂ + V₂
0+ 0 = 59VA² + (-98.1)
VA = 1.289 m/s
= 1.29 m/s

two teams are playing tug of war. team a pulls to the right with a force of 450n .team b pulls to the left with a force of 415 n
Alex_Xolod [135]

Explanation:

It is given that, two teams are playing tug of war.

Force applied by Team A, F_A=450\ N

Force applied by Team B, F_B=415\ N

We need to find the net force acting on the rope. It is equal to :

F_{net}=F_A-F_B

F_{net}=450-415

F_{net}=35\ N

So, the net force acting on the rope is 35 N and it is acting toward right. Hence, this is the required solution.

Technician A says that the cooling system should be tested for leaks using a pressure-operated pressure pump. Technician B says
mart [117]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Technician A only

Explanation:

Leaks in the cooling system parts such as the radiator cap can be tested with a pressure operated hand pump by attaching the pump cap to the pump with an adaptor and apply pressure enough for there to be a release of pressure at the cap.

The pressure added to the system should be maintained for up to two minutes. If the pressure drops quicker, then there is likely to be leaks in the system

The freezing and boiling point of the coolant is measured with an antifreeze tester which carries the appropriate apparatus to measure the coolants freezing and boiling points.
