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,

An ice skater of mass m = 60 kg coasts at a speed of v = 0.8 m/s past a pole. At the distance of closest approach, her center of

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

1.78 rad/s

1.70344 rad/s

Explanation:

v = Velocity = 0.8 m/s

m = Mass of person = 60 kg

$r_1$ = Distance between center of mass of person and pole = 0.45 m

$r_2$ = New distance between center of mass of person and pole = 0.46 m

I = Moment of inertia

Angular speed is given by

$\omega_1=\dfrac{v}{r_1}\\\Rightarrow \omega_1=\dfrac{0.8}{0.45}\\\Rightarrow \omega_1=1.78\ rad/s$

The angular speed is 1.78 rad/s

In this system the angular momentum is conserved

$L_1=L_2\\\Rightarrow I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2\\\Rightarrow mr_1^2\omega_1=mr_2^2\omega_2\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=\dfrac{r_1^2\omega_1}{r_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=\dfrac{0.45^2\times 1.78}{0.46^2}\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=1.70344\ rad/s$

The new angular speed is 1.70344 rad/s

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 15.1 Mechanical Waves. Waves on a string are described by the following general equation y(

NeX [460]

Answer:

The transverse displacement is $y(1.51 , 0.150) = 0.055 m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The generally equation for the mechanical wave is

$y(x,t) = Acos (kx -wt)$

The speed of the transverse wave is $v = 8.25 \ m/s$

The amplitude of the transverse wave is $A = 5.50 *10^{-2} m$

The wavelength of the transverse wave is $\lambda = 0540 m$

At t= 0.150s , x = 1.51 m

The angular frequency of the wave is mathematically represented as

$w = vk$

Substituting values

$w = 8.25 * 11.64$

$w = 96.03 \ rad/s$

The propagation constant k is mathematically represented as

$k = \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}$

Substituting values

$k = \frac{2 * 3.142}{0. 540}$

$k =11.64 m^{-1}$

Substituting values into the equation for mechanical waves

$y(1.51 , 0.150) = (5.50*10^{-2} ) cos ((11.64 * 1.151 ) - (96.03 * 0.150))$

$y(1.51 , 0.150) = 0.055 m$

Calculate the size of the image of a tree that is 8m high and 80 m a pinhole camera that is 20 cm long . what is its magnificati

Vladimir79 [104]

1) Size of the image: 2 cm

In order to calculate the size of the image, we can use the following proportion:

$p:q = h_o : h_i$

where

p = 80 m is the distance of the tree from the pinhole

q = 20 cm = 0.2 m is the distance of the image from the pinhole

$h_o$ = 8 m is the heigth of the object

$h_i$ is the height of the image

By re-arranging the proportion, we find

$h_i = \frac{h_o \cdot q}{p}=\frac{(8 m)(0.2 m)}{80 m}=0.02 m=2 cm$

2) Magnification: 0.0025

The magnification of a camera is given by the ratio between the size of the image and the size of the real object:

$M=\frac{h_i}{h_o}$

so, in this problem we have

$M=\frac{0.02 m}{8 m}=0.0025$

What is the percentage of the incoming solar radiation from the top of the atmosphere the gets reflected right back out into spa

san4es73 [151]

Answer: We can define the solar constant as a measure of the luminous flux density.

Explanation:

The solar constant or solar constant is the amount of energy radiated at the upper limit of the Earth's atmosphere per unit time perpendicular to the unit surface, at the Earth's mean distance from the sun. Amounts to 1367.7 W / m² ± 6 W / m². The sun's constant includes all kinds of electromagnetic radiation, not just visible light. The average value is 1,368 kW / m2 and changes slightly with solar cycles. The amount of these constant changes over one year and has different benefits.
