.You have always been impressed by the speed of the elevators in your apartment building. You wonder about the maximum accelerat

ion for these elevators during normal operation, so you decide to measure it by using your bathroom scale. While the elevator is at rest on the ground floor,you get in, put down your scale, and stand on it. The scale reads 50 kg. You continue standing on the scale when the elevator goes up, carefully watching the reading. During the trip to the 10th floor, the greatest scale reading was

Answer:

5.51 m/s^2

Explanation:

Initial scale reading = 50 kg  

assume the greatest scale reading = 78.09 kg

<u>Determine the maximum acceleration for these elevators</u>

At rest the weight is = 50 kg

Weight ( F ) = mg = 50 * 9.81 = 490.5 N<u> </u>

<u> </u>At the 10th floor weight = 78.09 kg

Weight at 10th floor ( F ) = 78.09 * 9.81 = 766.11 N

F = change in weight

Change in weight( F ) = ma = 766.11 - 490.5 (we will take the mass as the starting mass as that mass is calculated when the body is at rest)

50 * a = 275.61

Hence the maximum acceleration ( a ) = 275.61 / 50 = 5.51 m/s^2

How to intercept a slope
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The slope intercept form is probably the most frequently used way to express equation of a line. To be able to use slope intercept form, all that you need to be able to do is 1) find the slope of a line and 2) find the y-intercept of a line.

A 45.0-kg sample of ice is at 0.00°C. How much heat is needed to melt it? For water, Lf=334 kJ/kg and Lv=2257 kJ/kg 
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Heat required to change the phase of ice is given by

Q = m* L

here

m = mass of ice

L = latent heat of fusion

now we have

m = 45 kg

L = 334 KJ/kg

now by using above formula

Q = 45 * 334 * 10^3

Q = 1.5 * 10^7 J

In KJ we can convert this as

Q = 1.5 * 10^4 kJ

so the correct answer is D option

Monochromatic light is incident on (and perpendicular to) two slits separated by 0.200 mm, which causes an interference pattern
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

I = 0.636*Imax

Explanation:

(a) To find the fraction of the maximum intensity at a distance y from the central maximum you use the following formula:

I=I_{max}cos^2(\frac{\pi d}{\lambda L}y)   (1)

I: intensity of light

Imax: maximum intensity of light

d: separation between slits = 0.200mm = 0.200 *10^-3 m

L: distance from the screen = 613cm = 0.613 m

y: distance to the central peak of the interference pattern

λ: wavelength of light = 656.3 nm = 656.3 *10^-9 m

You replace the values of all variables in the equation (1):

I=I_{max}cos^2(\frac{\pi (0.200*10^{-3}m)}{(656.3*10^{-9}m)(0.613m)}0.600m)\\\\I=I_{max}cos^2(937.06)=0.636I_{max}

Hence, the fraction of the maximum intensity is I = 0.636*Imax
