Answer:

23.0 s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 19.8 m/s

a = 4.80 m/s²

Find: Δx and t

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(19.8 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (4.80 m/s²) Δx

Δx = 40.84 m

v = at + v₀

19.8 m/s = (4.80 m/s²) t + 0 m/s

t = 4.125 s

The elevator takes 40.84 m and 4.125 s to accelerate, and therefore also 40.84 m and 4.125 s to decelerate.

That leaves 291.3 m to travel at top speed.  The time it takes is:

291.3 m / (19.8 m/s) = 14.71 s

The total time is 4.125 s + 14.71 s + 4.125 s = 23.0 s.

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

No..

Explanation:

As the bird releases the drop there is no internal force which will drive it into circular path but it will fall on tangent of the arc at the point of release because it has a tangential velocity same as bird. Path will be parabola in vertical plane.

As the person is on circular arc constantly moving it will never meet that drop.

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

W = 1222.4 J = 1.22 KJ

Explanation:

The work done on an object is the product of the force applied on it and the displacement it covers as a result of this force. It must be noted that the component of displacement in the direction of force should only be used. Hence, the work can be calculated as:

W = F d Cosθ

where,

W = Work Done = ?

F = Force Applied = 64 N

d = Distance Covered by Box = 19.1 m

θ = Angle between force and displacement = 0°

Therefore,

W = (64 N)(19.1 m)Cos 0°

<u>W = 1222.4 J = 1.22 KJ</u>

If izzy mass is 0.3kg he applide 657.9n force what will be the accelration​
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The acceleration of the body, a = 2193 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the body, m = 0.3 kg

The force acting on the body, F = 657.9 N

The force acting on an object is proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the body.

                         F = m x a

Therefore, the acceleration of the body is

                           a = F / m

                              = 657.9 N / 0.3 kg

                              = 2193 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the body, a = 2193 m/s²

If 478 watts of power are used in 14 seconds,how much work was done
zepelin [54]

Answer:

6692J

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate at which work is being done.

So,

    Power  = \frac{workdone}{time }  

  Work done  = Power x time

Given parameters:

Power  = 478watts

Time  = 14s

So;

 Work done  = 478 x 14  = 6692J
