Answer:

Distance covered is equal to all the distance traveled.

So for example, if you go from A to B, and then from B to C, the total distance covered is AB + BC.

Displacement is equal to the difference between the final position and the initial position.

So if we go from A to B, the displacement is simply the line AB.

While if we go from A to B, and then from B to C, the displacement will be a segment that directly connects A and C, such that:

displacement = √( (AB)^2 + (BC)^2)

Now, if we want to find the points such that the magnitude of the distance covered is equal to the magnitude of the displacement, we need to look at the pairs that are directly connected by a straight line.

Those are:

A to B ( or B to A)

B to C (or C to B)

C to D (or D to C)

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Part a)

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part b)

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part c)

$Reading = 4.04 kg$

Part d)

from t = 0 to t = 4.9 s

so the reading of the scale will be same as that of weight of the block

Then its speed will reduce to zero in next 3.2 s

from t = 4.9 to t = 8.1 s

The reading of the scale will be less than the actual mass

Explanation:

Part a)

When elevator is ascending with constant speed then we will have

$F_{net} = 0$

$T - mg = 0$

$T = mg$

So it will read same as that of the mass

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part b)

When elevator is decending with constant speed then we will have

$F_{net} = 0$

$T - mg = 0$

$T = mg$

So it will read same as that of the mass

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part c)

When elevator is ascending with constant speed 39 m/s and acceleration 10 m/s/s then we will have

$F_{net} = ma$

$T - mg = ma$

$T = mg + ma$

Reading is given as

$Reading = \frac{mg + ma}{g}$

$Reading = 2.00\frac{9.81 + 10}{9.81}$

$Reading = 4.04 kg$

Part d)

Here the speed of the elevator is constant initially

from t = 0 to t = 4.9 s

so the reading of the scale will be same as that of weight of the block

Then its speed will reduce to zero in next 3.2 s

from t = 4.9 to t = 8.1 s

The reading of the scale will be less than the actual mass

So far in your life, you may have assumed that as you are sitting in your chair right now, you are not accelerating. However, th

Answer:

a) $a=33.73mm/s^{2}$

b) mg>N

c) $\%_{change}=0.343\%$

d) $a=24.07mm/s^{2}$

Explanation:

In order to solve part a) of the problem, we can start by drawing a free body diagram of the presented situation. (see attached picture).

In this case, we know the centripetal acceleration is given by the following formula:

$a_{c}=\omega ^{2}r$

where:

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}$

we know the period of rotation of the earth is about 24 hours, so:

$T=24hr*\frac{3600s}{1hr}=86400s$

so we can now find the angular speed:

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{86400s}$

$\omega=72.72x10^{-6} rad/s^{2}$

So the centripetal acceleration will be:

$a_{c} =(72.72x10^{-6} rad/s^{2})^{2}(6478x10^{3}m)$

which yields:

$a_{c}=33.73mm/s^{2}$

In order to answer part b, we must draw a free body diagram of us sitting on a chair. (See attached picture.)

So we can do a sum of forces in equilibrium:

$\sum F=0$

so we get that:

$N-mg+ma_{c} = 0$

and solve for the normal force:

$N=mg-ma_{c}$

In this case, we can clearly see that:

$mg>mg-ma_{c}$

therefore mg>N

This is because the centripetal acceleration is pulling us upwards, that will make the magnitude of the normal force smaller than the product of the mass times the acceleration of gravity.

So let's calculate our weight and normal force:

Let's say we weight a total of 60kg, so:

$mg=(60kg)(9.81m/s^{2})=588.6N$
