A 63.0-kg man is riding an escalator in a shopping mall. The escalator moves the man at a constant velocity from ground level to

the floor above, a vertical height of 4.20 m. What is the work done on the man by (a) the gravitational force and (b) the escalator

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of man =Mm=63kg

W=mg

W=63×9.81

W=618.03N

g=9.81m/s²

The escalator moves at a constant velocity, then this shows that it is not accelerating, then, a=0m/s²

Height escalator traveled

H=4.2m.

We assume that the weight of the escalator is negligible.

a. Work done by gravity

Work done by gravity is given as

Work done(gravity)=mgh

Since the work is done against gravity, then, g is negative

Then,

Work done(gravity)=-mgh

Work done(gravity)=-63×9.81×4.2

Work done(gravity)=-2595.726J

b. Work done by escalator

Using equation of motion to know the force pulling the escalator upward

ΣF = ma, but a=0

ΣF = 0

Only two force is acting on the in y axis, the Normal force and the weight

N-W=0

N=W

Since W=618.03N

Then, N=618.03

The normal is the force pulling the escalator upward

Then, the work done by escalator is given as

Work done=Force × distance

Work done=618.03×4.2

Work done= 2595.76J

Work done by escalator is 2595.76J

A mass of 100 g stretches a spring 5 cm. If the mass is set in motion from its equilibrium position with a downward velocity of
Rudiy27

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of spring m=100\ gm

extension in spring x=5\ cm

downward velocity v=70\ cm/s

Position in undamped free vibration is given by

u(t)=A\cos \omega _0t+B\sin \omega _0t

where \omega _0^2=\frac{k}{m}

also \frac{k}{m}=\frac{g}{L}

\omega _0^2=\frac{k}{m}=\frac{9.8}{0.05}

\omega _0=14

u(t)=A\cos(14t)+B\sin(14t)

it is given

u(0)=0

u'(0)=70\ cm/s

substituting values we get

A=0

u(t)=B\sin (14t)

u'(t)=14B\cos (14t)

70=14B

B=\frac{10}{2}

B=5

u(t)=5\sin (14t)
