.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

Which of the following choices concerning the net magnetic flux through any enclosed surface is true according to Gauss' law for
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

e. The net magnetic flux in this case would be equal to zero.

Explanation:

As per Gauss law of magnetism we need to find the net magnetic flux through a closed loop

here we know that net magnetic flux is the scalar product of magnetic field vector and area vector

so here we have

\int B. dA = net magnetic flux

since we know that magnetic field always forms closed loop so if we find the integral over a closed loop

then in that case the value of the close integral must be zero

so correct answer would be

e. The net magnetic flux in this case would be equal to zero.

A ball is thrown w a speed of 30m/s at an angle of 10. When is the vertical component of the velocity equal to zero
irga5000 [103]

Now the vertical velocity of the ball thrown at an angle 10° is given as

Voy(initial vertical velocity)= 30m/s x sin 10

Voy(initial vertical velocity)= 5.2m/s

Now the ball is decelerating with an acceleration due to gravity equivalent to 9.8m/s^2.

Let Vy be the final velocity and that is equal to zero in this case.

Now

Vy= Voy- tx9.8

Where t is the time at which the vertical velocity becomes 0.

Substituting the values we get

0= 5.2-tx9.8

9.8t=5.2

t=0.53 secs

8. A 3.0 x 10' g nerf projectile is fired from a 1.5 kg nerf gun. If the velocity of the projectile is
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

v_g=0.2\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of nerf projectile, m_p=30\ g=0.03\ kg
  • velocity of nerf projectile, v_p=10\ m.s^{-1}
  • mass of the gun, m_g=1.5\ kg

Now in this case the collision can be assumed to be perfectly elastic.

<u>For an elastic collision:</u>

m_p.v_p=m_g.v_g

where:

v_g= recoil velocity of the gun

0.03\times 10=1.5\times v_g

v_g=0.2\ m.s^{-1}
