Answer: the speed of the elevator is 4.6 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, The elevator in the Washington Monument takes 75 seconds to travel 506 feet to the top floor.

Since 1 hour = 3600 seconds

⇒ 1 second = \dfrac{1}{3600} hour

⇒ 75 seconds = \dfrac{75}{3600} hour =\dfrac{1}{48} hour

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 feet = \dfrac{1}{5280} mile

506 feet = \dfrac{506}{5280} miles =\dfrac{23}{240} miles

Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}

=\dfrac{\dfrac{23}{240}}{\dfrac{1}{48}}\\\\=\dfrac{23\times48}{240}\\\\=\dfrac{23}{5}\\\\=4.6\text{ miles per hour}

Hence, the speed of the elevator is 4.6 miles per hour.

I really need help with 15 and 16 please
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

  15. 50 kg

  16a. 5 kg

  16b. 3.75 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula relating force, mass, and acceleration can be solved for mass. This formula will apply to both problems. We'll use m for both "mass" and "meters". We presume you can avoid getting mixed up by understanding that meters is used in the context of acceleration: m/s².

  F = ma

  m = F/a . . . . . divide by a

__

15. m = (250 N)/(5 m/s²) = 50 kg

__

16a. m = (15 N)/(3 m/s²) = 5 kg

16b. m = (15 N)/(4 m/s²) = 3.75 kg

_____

<em>Comment on units</em>

Especially for physics problems, I like to keep the units with the numbers. It is helpful to remember that Newtons are equivalent to kg·m/s². So, dividing Newtons by acceleration in m/s² will give mass in kg. Since you're familiar with F=ma, it's not too hard to remember that the units of force (N) are the product of the units of mass (kg) and acceleration (m/s²).
