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>

When you're asked to calculate moments and torque, what's the main difference in calculation? Also what is a couple?
leva [86]

Answer:

a) Explanation below. b) Explanation below

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the product of a force by a radius, while momentum is defined as the product of force by a distance. Mathematically we would have

T = F * r

M = F * d

where:

T = torque = [N*m]

M = moment = [N*m]

F = force =[N]

d = distance [m]

r = radius [m]

Although they have the same units, the difference between them is the application. For the case of torque this is always applied in parts that are in rotation, such as the shafts of cars, the shafts of pumps, torque in gears and etc. While the moment can be applied to a body without the need for it to rotate.

A couple, is as its name suggests a couple of forces of equal magnitude but opposite sense and do not share a line of action. A body under the action of a couple of forces tends to rotate the body without moving it from one point to another.

What is beats means and its equation​
Debora [2.8K]
When a crest-trough meet the interference produced will be destructive in nature hence they both will cancel out and the amplitude produced will be equal to zero hence the loudness will reduce to zero.

What is the average speed of a car that travelled 400 miles in 6 hours?
Reil [10]

Answer:

About 66 miles per hour

Explanation:

Based on the information given we can assume the car traveled the same number of miles every hour meaning all we need to do is divide.

400/6 ≈ 66 miles per hour

How can you increase the potential energy of a bouncing ball
ad-work [718]

Answer:

When you lift the ball, you are doing work to increase its gravitational potential energy. When you then release the ball, gravitational energy is transformed into kinetic energy as the ball falls. When the ball hits the floor, the ball's shape changes as it flattens against the floor.
