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

Oliga [24]3 years ago

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

Answer:

left column Right column

Option 1 - Option 4

Option 2 - Option 1

Option 3 - Option 3

Option 4 - Option 2

Explanation:

the circulatory system is things like veins which transport blood cells through the body

the digestive system is things like your stomach and esophagus which digests food and turns it into energy

the respiratory system is things like lungs, which moves air through your body

and the skeletal system is things like bones, which help you move but also protect vital organs

A projectile is fired upward with an initial speed vo on an airless world. A short time later, it comes back down and has a fina
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

W_{grav} < 0

Explanation:

When a projectile is fired upwards with some initial speed then the it reaches the top of the projectile and then falls back to the ground.

According to the question we need to find the work done by the gravity which is acting downwards for the projectile when it is at a position just about to hit the ground in course of falling down.

As we know that work is given as:

W=F.s\cos\theta

here:

F= force of gravity on the object (which is acting downwards)

s= displacement of the object

  • Here the work done by the gravity at an instant just before the projectile hits the earth will be negative as the displacement is in the direction opposite to the force of gravity.

The material through which a mechanical wave travels is a.a medium.b.empty space.c.ether.d.air
Elza [17]
<h2>Answer: Medium </h2>

The medium is the main factor that differentiates a mechanical wave from an electromagnetic wave, since the first can not propagate without its existence, while the second can propagate regardless of whether the medium exists or not.

In addition, it is the medium that will define, the propagation speed of the wave, according to its specific physical characteristics.

Therefore, the <u>correct answer</u> is a.

A 163 ‑turn circular coil of radius 2.65 cm and negligible resistance is immersed in a uniform magnetic field that is perpendicu
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Explanation:

change in flux = no of turns x area of coil x change in magnetic field

= 163 x π 2.65² x 10⁻⁴ x ( .481 - 0 )

= 1728.84 x10⁻⁴  weber

rate of change of flux = change in flux / time

= 1728.84 x10⁻⁴ / .149

= 11603 x10⁻⁴ V .

volt induced = 1.16 V

current in the circuit

= volt induced / resistance

1.16 / 10.7 = .1084 A

energy dissipated = i²Rt where i is current , R is resistance and t is time.

= .1084² x 10.7 x .149

= .018734 J

= 18.73 mJ .
