study a 75kg person stands on a scale in an elevator what does read in n and in kg when the elevator is at rest?
Verdich [7]

To solve this problem we will use Newton's second law in order to obtain the weight of a person. The second law tells us that

F = ma

Where,

m = mass

a = Acceleration

In this particular case, the acceleration is equal to that exerted by the earth through gravitational acceleration, so if the person's weight is 75Kg and the gravity is 9.8m / s^2 , the weight of the body will be,

F_W =mg

F_W = (75kg)(9.8m/s^2 )

F_W = 735.75N

When the elevator is at rest this reads 735.75N and 75Kg (The same mass of the person)

. Orbit of a satellite It is advantageous to place communications satellites in a circular orbit so that their position is fixed
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

a) r = 4.22 10⁷ m, b)  v = 3.07 10³ m / s  and c)  a = 0.224 m / s²

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we will use Newton's second law where acceleration is centripetal and force is gravitational force

     F = m a

     a = v² / r

     F = G m M / r²

    G m M / r² = m v² / r

    G M / r = v²

The squared velocity is a scalar and this value is constant, so let's use the uniform motion relationships

     v = d / t

As the orbit is circular the distance is the length of the circle in 24 h time

     d = 2π r

     t = 24 h (3600 s / 1 h) = 86400 s

Let's replace

     G M / r = (2π r / t)²

     G M = 4 π² r³ / t²

     r = ∛(G M t² / (4π²)

     r = ∛( 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ 86400² / (4π²)) = ∛( 75.4 10²¹)

     r = 4.22 10⁷ m

b) the speed module is

    v = √G M / r

    v = √(6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴/ 4.22 10⁷

    v = 3.07 10³ m / s

c) the acceleration is

    a = G M / r²

    a = 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ / (4.22 10⁷)²

    a = 0.224 m / s²

A stone dropped from the top of a building reaches the ground with a velocity of 49ms¹. If the acceleration due to gravity is 9.
bezimeni [28]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 49 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

v = at + v₀

49 m/s = (9.8 m/s²) t + 0 m/s

t = 5 s
