A person is standing on a scale placed on the floor of an elevator. At time t1, the elevator is at rest and the reading on the s

cale is 500N. At a later time t2, the person is still standing on the scale and the reading on the scale is 400N . Based on the scale readings, which of the following statements about the motion of the elevator could be true at time t2?
a. The elevator is moving upward at constant speed.
b. The elevator is moving upward and slowing down.
c. The elevator is moving downward at constant speed.
d. The elevator is moving downward and slowing down.
e. The elevator is at rest.

the following statements about the motion of the elevator could be true at time t2 is

c. The elevator is moving downward at constant speed.

Explanation:

  • Under given situation, the elevator is at rest and the reading on the scale is 500N.
  • After some time t2, the person is still standing on the scale and the reading on the scale is 400N .
  • It is because if you stand on a scale in an elevator which is accelerating upward, your body will feel heavier because the elevator's floor pressure which presses harder on your feet, and this is why the scale will show a higher reading than the time when the elevator is at rest.
  • Similarly on the other hand, when the elevator accelerates downward, your body will feel lighter. The force which is exerted by the scale is called as the apparent weight; which means it does not change with constant speed.
  • Applying Newton's second law, which concludes about this particular statement about force exerted on a body when at rest and when in motion.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Sarah is right

Explanation:

This is an exercise that differentiates between scalars and vectors.

A scalar is a number, instead a vector is a number that represents the module in addition to direction and sense.

In this case, the distance (scalar) traveled is a number, which is why it is worth 1500m, but the displacement is a vector and since the point where it leaves is the same point where the vector's modulus arrives is zero, so the DISPLACEMENT VECTOR is zero

consequently Sarah is right

A 132 cm wire carries a current of 2.2 A. The wire is formed into a circular coil and placed in a B Field of intensity 1 T. a) F
EastWind [94]

Given Information:

Length of wire = 132 cm = 1.32 m

Magnetic field = B =  1 T

Current = 2.2 A

Required Information:

(a) Torque = τ = ?

(b) Number of turns = N = ?

Answer:

(a) Torque = 0.305 N.m

(b) Number of turns = 1

Explanation:

(a) The current carrying circular loop of wire will experience a torque given by

τ = NIABsin(θ)   eq. 1

Where N is the number of turns, I is the current in circular loop, A is the area of circular loop, B is the magnetic field and θ is angle between B and circular loop.

We know that area of circular loop is given by

A = πr²

where radius can be written as

r = L/2πN

So the area becomes

A = π(L/2πN)²

A = πL²/4π²N²

A = L²/4πN²

Substitute A into eq. 1

τ = NI(L²/4πN²)Bsin(θ)

τ = IL²Bsin(θ)/4πN

The maximum toque occurs when θ is 90°

τ = IL²Bsin(90)/4πN

τ = IL²B/4πN

torque will be maximum for N = 1

τ = (2.2*1.32²*1)/4π*1

τ = 0.305 N.m

(b) The required number of turns for maximum torque is

N = IL²B/4πτ

N = 2.2*1.32²*1)/4π*0.305

N = 1 turn
