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>

Suppose that a spring with a larger spring constant was used in this same apparatus. If a given mass were rotated at the same ra
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The new period of rotation using the new spring would be less than the period of rotation using the original spring

Explanation:

Generally the  period of rotation of the mass is mathematically represented as

       T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{k} }

Here I is the moment of inertia of the mass about the rotation axis and  k is the spring constant

Now looking at the equation we can tell that T is inversely proportional to the square root of the spring constant which means that for a larger spring constant the time period would be lesser

Two forces and are applied to an object whose mass is 13.3 kg. The larger force is . When both forces point due east, the object
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Explanation:

First, It's important to remember F = ma, and in this problem m = 13.3 kg

This can be reduced to a simple system of equations problem.  Now if they are both going the same way then we add them, while if they are going the opposite way we subtract them.  So let's call them F1 and F2, with F1 arger than F2.  Now, When we add them together F1+F2 = (.723 m/s^2)*13.3kg and then when we subtract them, and have the larger one pushing toward the east, let's call F1 the larger one, F1-F2 = (.493 m/s^2)*13.3kg.  

Can you solve this system of equations seeing them like this, or do you need more help?
