Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the elevator is 0.422 m/s²

Explanation:

Lets explain how to solve the problem

Due to Newton's Law ∑ Forces in direction of motion is equal to mass

multiplied by the acceleration

We have here two forces 460 N in direction of motion and the weight

of the person in opposite direction of motion

The weight of the person is his mass multiplied by the acceleration of

gravity

→ W = mg , where m is the mass and g is the acceleration of gravity

→ m = 45 kg and g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values in the rule above

→ W = 45 × 9.8 = 441 N

The scale reads 460 N

→ F = 460 N , W = 441 N , m = 45 kg

→ F - W = ma

→ 460 - 441 = 45 a

→ 19 = 45 a

Divide both sides by 45

→ a = 0.422 m/s²

<em>The magnitude of the acceleration of the elevator is 0.422 m/s²</em>

A small ball is attached to the lower end of a 0.800-m-long string, and the other end of the string is tied to a horizontal rod.
mestny [16]

Answer:

a = 17.68 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

length of the string, L = 0.8 m

angle made with vertical, θ = 61°

time to complete 1 rev, t = 1.25 s

radial acceleration = ?

first we have to calculate the radius of the circle

 R = L sin θ

 R = 0.8 x sin 61°

 R = 0.7 m

now, calculating at the angular velocity

\omega =\dfrac{2\pi}{T}

\omega =\dfrac{2\pi}{1.25}

  ω = 5.026 rad/s

now, radial acceleration

 a = r ω²

 a = 0.7 x 5.026²

a = 17.68 m/s²

hence, the radial acceleration of the ball is equal to 17.68 rad/s²

A tennis ball is thrown into
liraira [26]

Answer:

Velocity (v) is a vector quantity that measures displacement (or change in position, Δs) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation v = Δs/Δt. Speed (or rate, r) is a scalar quantity that measures the distance traveled (d) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation r = d/Δt.

Two bodies of masses 1000kg and 2000kg are separated 1km which is the gravitational force between them
denpristay [2]

Answer:

1.33×10⁻¹⁰ N

Explanation:

F = GMm / r²

where G is the gravitational constant,

M and m are the masses of the objects,

and r is the distance between them.

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ N/m²/kg²) (1000 kg) (2000 kg) / (1000 m)²

F = 1.33×10⁻¹⁰ N
