.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

A 20-kg barrel is rolled up a 20-m ramp to the back of a truck whose floor is 5.0 m above the ground. What work is done in loadi
oee [108]

The angle of inclination is calculated using sin function,

sin θ = 5 m / 20 m = 0.25

θ = 14.4775° 

 

<span>The net force exerted is then calculated:
F net = m g sin θ = 20 * 9.8 * 0.25 </span>

F net = 49N 

<span>Work is product of net force and distance:
W = F net * d = 49 * 20 </span>

<span>Work = 980 J </span>

Explain what causes acid rain to form and its negative effects on living and nonliving things.
OLga [1]
What causes it to form: <span>Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain. Human activities, power plants, and exhaust from vehicles all are causes.</span>
Affects on living things-
Acid rain can kill trees
It can affect plant growth patterns
Toxins can kill animals
Nonliving things- 
It can decay building materials and paints
it breaks down rocks
