A 38.5 kg man is in an elevator that is moving at a constant speed. How much normal force is being exerted on him?

Physics

Answer:

Force = mass times acceleration

Acceleration is change in velocity over time.

The elevator is moving at constant velocity. That means there is no net force on the elevator. Gravity is still acting on the elevator but the tension of cables, friction and other mechanism are cancelling out the acceleration due to gravity. The same as an elevator being held at a floor.

The normal force is the force exerted by surfaces the to stop you from passing through. It is perpendicular to the surface the object is on, in this case the 38.5kg person. It being an elevator I am assuming the floor is perpendicular to the force of gravity. Normal force is equal to the force being exerted on it, in this scenario the persons mass x acceleration due to gravity.

So your answer is 38.5kg x 9.81m/s^2 = 377.685N

Hello!
34kurt
Iodine-131 has a half life of 8 days, so half of it is gone every 8 days.
10 grams of iodine-131 is left for 24 days.
At 8 days: 10/2=5 grams left
At 16 days: 5/2=2.5 grams left
At 24 days: 2.5/2=1.25 grams left.
**
Your mistake is that you stopped at 16 days.

The force required to stretch a Hooke’s-law
Setler [38]

I think this is correct, but I am not entirely certain.

Find the force constant of the spring:

F = - KX

(0 - 62.4) = -K(0.172m)

-362.791 = -K

362.791 N/m = K


Find the work done in stretching the spring:

W = (1/2)KX

W = (1/2)(362.791)(0.172m)

W = 31.2 J

Clay Matthews, a linebacker for the Green Bay Packers, can reach a speed of 10.0 m/s. At the start of a play, Matthews runs down
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

a)   D_ total = 18.54 m,   b)        v = 6.55 m / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we must find the displacement of the player.

a) Let's start with the initial displacement, d = 8 m at a 45º angle, use trigonometry to find the components

           sin 45 = y₁ / d

           cos 45 = x₁ / d

           y₁ = d sin 45

           x₁ = d sin 45

           y₁ = 8 sin 45 = 5,657 m

           x₁ = 8 cos 45 = 5,657 m

The second offset is d₂ = 12m at 90 of the 50 yard

            y₂ = 12 m

            x₂ = 0

total displacement

          y_total = y₁ + y₂

          y_total = 5,657 + 12

          y_total = 17,657 m

          x_total = x₁ + x₂

          x_total = 5,657 + 0

          x_total = 5,657 m

          D_total =   17.657 i^+ 5.657 j^  m

          D_total = Ra (17.657 2 + 5.657 2)

          D_ total = 18.54 m

b) the average speed is requested, which is the offset carried out in the time used

           v = Δx /Δt

the distance traveled using the pythagorean theorem is

         r = √ (d1² + d2²)

          r = √ (8² + 12²)

          r = 14.42 m

The time used for this shredding is

         t = t1 + t2

         t = 1 + 1.2

         t = 2.2 s

let's calculate the average speed

         v = 14.42 / 2.2

         v = 6.55 m / s
