Given that,

Weight of man, W= 650 N

Upward force by elevator, F= 620 N

a = ?

Since,

W = mg

m= W/g =650/9.81

m = 66.25 kg

Since,

F = ma

a = F/m

a = 620/66.25

a = 9.35 m/s²

Acceleration will be 9.35 m/s².

Since the force is in upward direction, it will accelerate the body in upward direction.

Answer:Man's acceleration is 0.452 $\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ in downward direction

Explanation:

<em>Weight of man, W= 650 N</em>

<em>Normal force exerted by floor of elevator , N= 620 N</em>

<em>Since weight , W = mg</em>

<em>mass m= $\frac{W}{g}=\frac{650}{9.8}kg$ </em>

<em>Using Newtons 2nd law</em>

<em>W-N= ma where a= acceleration of man in the downward direction</em>

=> 650-620= $\frac{650}{9.8}kg\times a$

=> a= 0.452 $\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ <em>in downward direction </em>

The blades of a fan running at low speed turn at 26.2 rad/s. When the fan is switched to high speed, the rotation rate increases

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: $1.79\ rad/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

Initial angular speed is $\omega_1=26.2\ rad/s$

Final angular speed is $\omega_2=36.5\ rad/s$

Time period $t=5.75\ s$

Magnitude of the fan's acceleration is given by

$\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\omega_2-\omega_1}{t}$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{36.5-26.2}{5.75}\\\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{10.3}{5.75}\\\\\Rightarrow \alpha=1.79\ rad/s^2$

Thus, fan angular acceleration is $1.79\ rad/s^2$

A proton is accelerated from rest through a potential difference V0 and gains a speed v0. If it were accelerated instead through

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The speed is $\sqrt{2}v_{0}$ .

(a) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Potential difference $V= V_{0}$

Speed $v = v_{o}$

If it were accelerated instead

Potential difference $V'=2V_{0}$

We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of initial work done on proton

$W = q V$

We know that,

$\Delta W=\Delta K.E$

$q V=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Put the value into the formula

$q V_{0}=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{0}^2$

$v_{0}^2=\dfrac{2qV_{0}}{m}$ ....(I)

If it were accelerated instead through a potential difference of $2 V_{0}$ , then it would gain a speed will be given as :

Using an above formula,

$v_{0}'^2=\dfrac{2qV_{0}}{m}$

Put the value of $V_{0}$

$v_{0}'^2=\dfrac{2q\times2V_{0}}{m}$

$v_{0}'=\sqrt{\dfrac{4qV_{0}}{m}}$

$v_{0}'=\sqrt{2}v_{0}$

Hence, The speed is $\sqrt{2}v_{0}$ .

The 60-mm-diameter shaft is made of 6061-T6 aluminum having an allowable shear stress of τallow = 80 MPa. Determine the maximum

grin007 [14]

The maximum allowable torque must correspond to the allowable shear stress for maximization. To solve this, we use the torsion formula:

Max. Allowable Shear Stress = Maximum Torque ÷ Cross-Sectional Area
8 x 10^6 Pa = Maximum Torque ÷ pi*(d/2)²
Maximum Torque = 8 x 10^6 Pa * pi*(0.06/2)² m²
Maximum Torque = 22,619.47 J or
Maximum Torque = 22.62 kJ

As for the second question, I have no reference figure so I am unable to answer it. I hope I was still able to help you, though.
