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,

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

1

The arrow with greater impart is Arrow B

2

The both arrows will feel the same impulse

Explanation:

1. Arrow B since $KE= W = F * d$ it used more force to stop itself in a shorter distance.

2. They should feel the same impulse since the both had the same momentum $m * v= F * t$

In what ways would organisms living in very deep water need to be specialized?

Nady [450]

Organisms living in great depths of water bodies like oceans and lakes need to be adapted for two (2) things especially; high water pressure and vision in darkness

The water column above from deep in the water can cause lots of hydrostatic pressure on the organisms’ cells. Also the fact that light cannot penetrate to great depth of water due to diffusion means the organisms must live in darkness.

Explanation:

It has been shown that cells from Piezophile bacteria have a high percentage of fatty acids in their membranes to prevent the cells from compacting solid from the high pressure.

Most of the organisms are also detritivores and use chemosynthesis for the autotrophs because light cannot reach these depths and hence photosynthesis is not possible. Organisms with eye vision are adapted to high wavelength light that can at least reach greater depths before diffusing. Nonetheless natural selection would favour use of sight for most organisms in this benthic region.

What does it mean to say the mass is conserved during a physical change ?

Olin [163]

Mater doesn't just appear or disappeared. Chemical elements are still there just the connections and how it combines changes.

So what goes into your chemical eqation must still exist after the change.

A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 9.2 m/s hits a 5.0 m wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continue

enot [183]

Answer:

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Explanation:

The distance travelled on the rough ice is equal to the width of the rough ice.

distance d = 5.0 m

Initial speed u = 9.2 m/s

Final speed v = 5.8 m/s

The time taken to move through the rough ice can be calculated using the equation of motion;

d = 0.5(u+v)t

time t = 2d/(u+v)

Substituting the given values;

t = 2(5)/(9.2+5.8)

t = 2/3 = 0.66667 second

The acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time;

acceleration a = ∆v/t

a = (v-u)/t

Substituting the values;

a = (5.8-9.2)/0.66667

a = -5.099974500127

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Steam at 100°C is condensed into a 38.0 g aluminum calorimeter cup containing 280 g of water at 25.0°C. Determine the amount of

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

7.2g

Explanation:

From the expression of latent heat of steam, we have

Heat supplied by steam = Heat gain water + Heat gain by calorimeter

mathematically,

$m_{s}c_{w} \alpha _{w}$ + $m_{s}l$ = $m_{w}c_{w} \alpha _{w}$ + $m_{c}c_{c} \alpha c_{c}$

L=specific latent heat of water(steam)=2268J/g

$c_{w}$ =specific heat capacity=4.2J/gK

$c_{c}$ =specific heat capacity of calorimeter =0.9J/gk

$m_{w}$ =280g

$m_{c}$ =38g

α=change in temperature

$\alpha _{c}$ =(40-25)=15

$\alpha _{w}$ =(40-25)=15

$\alpha _{s}$ =(100-40)=60

Note: the temperature of the calorimeter is the temperature of it content.

From the equation, we can make $m_{s}$ the subject of formula

$m_{s}=\frac{m_{w}c_{w} \alpha +m_{c}c_{c}\alpha}{c_{w}\alpha +l}$

Hence

$m_{s}=\frac{(280*4.2*15) +(38*0.9*15)}{(4.2*60) +2268} \\m_{s}=\frac{18153}{2520}\\ m_{s}=7.2g$

Hence the amount of steam needed is 7.2g
