A car is to be hoisted by elevator to the fourth floor of a parking garage, which is 48 ft above the ground. If the elevator can

accelerate at 2 0.6 / ft s ,decelerate at 2 0.3 / ft s , and reach a maximum speed of 8 / ft s, determine the shortest time to make the lift, starting from rest and ending at rest. t s  21.9

Answer: 21.91 s

Explanation:

Given that,

Maximum height of the car, h = 48 ft

Acceleration of the elevator, a = 0.6 ft/s²

Deceleration of the elevator, -a = 0.3 ft/s²

Maximum speed of the elevator, v = 8 ft/s

Initial speed of the elevator, u = 0

If when the elevator accelerate from 0 to maximum velocity, v.

Let s be the vertical distance traveled during acceleration.

v² = u² - 2as

s = (v² - u²) / 2a

s = (8² - 0) / 2*0.6

s = 64 / 1.2

s = 53.33 ft

If when the elevator decelerates from maximum velocity, v to zero.

Let S be the vertical distance traveled during deceleration

u² = v² + 2aS

S = (u² - v²) / 2a

S = (0 - 8²) / 2 * 0.3

S = -64 / 0.6

S = 106.67 ft

Since he sum of s and S (i.e s + S) is greater than 48 ft, then the elevator will switch from acceleration to deceleration

without reaching the maximum velocity. Below, the switching point is labeled y.

v² = u² + 2ay

y = v²/2a

Inserting this into the earlier deceleration equation, we have

-v²/2 = d * [48 - (v²/2a)], where

d = deceleration

a = acceleration

Therefore, v = [4.√6. a √-(a.b/a)] / b

Where b = acceleration - deceleration

v = 4.382 ft/s

Using this newly found v, we proceed to find our s

s = (u² + v²)/2a

s = 19.2 / 1.2

s = 16 ft

The transport times for each segment are found from

v = u + a*t, thus upward t1

4.382 = 0 + 0.6 * t

t = 4.382/0.6

t = 7.303 s

Also,

4.382 = 0 + 0.3 * T

T = 4.382/0.3

T = 14.607 s

The total travel time is then t + T =

7.303 + 14.607

Total time of travel is 21.91 s

In an extrasolar planetary system containing a single planet, the parent star is measured to move about its center of mass every

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Orbital Time Period is 24 years

Explanation:

This can be explained by the definition of time period.

Time period can be defined as the time taken by an object to complete one cycle, here, time taken to complete one revolution.

Also, we know that an extra solar planet which is also called as an exo planet is that planet which is outside our solar system and orbits any star other than our sun. The system in consideration is extra solar system with a single planet.

Therefore, the time taken by the parent star to move about its mass center is the orbital time period that is 24 years.

A 100 Kg man is diving off a 50 meter cliff. What is his kinetic energy when he is 20 meters from the water?

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

$K.E=29.403125J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass $M=100$

Height $50-20=30m$

Generally the equation for velocity before impact is is is mathematically given by

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2*9.8*30}$

$v=24.25$

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is is mathematically given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}*100*(24.25)^2\\$

$K.E=29403.125J$

$K.E=29.403125J$

A particle starts from rest and has an acceleration function 5 − 10t m/s2 . (a) What is the velocity function? (b) What is the p

frez [133]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A particle starts from rest and has an acceleration function as :

$a(t)=(5-10t)\ m/s^2$

(a) Since, $a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

v = velocity

$dv=a.dt$

$v=\int(a.dt)$

$v=\int(5-10t)(dt)$

$v=5t-\dfrac{10t^2}{2}=5t-5t^2$

(b) $v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

x = position

$x=\int v.dt$

$x=\int (5t-5t^2)dt$

$x=\dfrac{5}{2}t^2-\dfrac{5}{3}t^3$

(c) Velocity function is given by :

$v=5t-5t^2$

$5t-5t^2=0$

t = 1 seconds

So, at t = 1 second the velocity of the particle is zero.

A baseball player throws a ball horizontally at the same moment another baseball player jobs a second ball straight down from th

attashe74 [19]

I don't know what you mean when you say he "jobs" the other ball, and the answer to this question really depends on that word.

I'm going to say that the second player is holding the second ball, and he just opens his fingers and lets the ball <u><em>drop</em></u>, at the same time and from the same height as the first ball.

Now I'll go ahead and answer the question that I've just invented:

Strange as it may seem, <em>both</em> balls hit the ground at the <em>same time</em> ... the one that's thrown AND the one that's dropped. The horizontal speed of the thrown ball has no effect on its vertical acceleration, so both balls experience the same vertical behavior.

And here's another example of the exact same thing:

Say you shoot a bullet straight out of a horizontal rifle barrel, AND somebody else <em>drops</em> another bullet at exactly the same time, from a point right next to the end of the rifle barrel. I know this is hard to believe, but both of those bullets hit the ground at the same time too, just like the baseballs ... the bullet that's shot out of the rifle and the one that's dropped from the end of the barrel.
