An elevator is initially moving upward at a speed of 12.00 m/s. the elevator experiences a constant downward acceleration of mag

nitude 4.00 m/s2 for 3.00 s. (a) find the magnitude and direction of the elevator’s final velocity. (b) how far did it move during the 3.00 s interval?

The two equations used in this problem is from the derived equations of rectilinear motion at a constant acceleration. 

a = (v - v₀)/t
2ax = v² - v₀²
where
a is the acceleration
x is the distance 
v is the final velocity
v₀ is the initial velocity
t is the time

Part a.) The acceleration is negative because it is moving downward: a = -4 m/s². The initial velocity is v₀ = 12 m/s and t is 3 s.

-4 = (v - 12)/3
v = 0 m/s
Thus, after 3 seconds the elevator comes to a stop.

Part b.) 

2(-4)x = 0² - 12²
x = 18 m
The elevator has traveled a distance of 18 m within 3 seconds.

Answer:

The graph appears to be in error.

The actual figure appears to be a rhombus with sides of 5 and 15 with a height of 5

The work done (F * S) is the area of the rhombus

1/2 * (5 +15) * 5 = 50 J

evaluate the force of a skateboard exerts on you if your mass is 60kg and you push on the skateboard with a force of 60N
Sav [38]
Every action has an equal or opposite reaction.
You weigh 60kg 
<span>So your acceleration is 6N / 60 kg = 0.1m/s^2</span>

You send a beam of light from a material with index of refraction 1.21 into an unknown material. In order to help identify this
White raven [17]

Answer:

refractive index of the unknown material is 1.33.

Explanation:

μ₁ = 1.21

incidence angle (i) = 41.9°

refraction angle (r) = 37.3°

Let us assume μ be the refractive index of the unknown material

according to snell's law of refraction.

μ₁ sin i = μ₂ sin r

1.21 × sin 41.9° =  μ × sin 37.3°

μ = 1.33

hence the refractive index of the unknown material comes out top be 1.33
