.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 sling is used to give a stone an initial velocity of 20 at an angle of 30 above the horizontal. The stone travels through the
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Option E is correct.

There must be a horizontal wind opposite the direction of the stone's motion, because ignoring air resistance when calculating the horizontal range would yield a value greater than 32 m.

Explanation:

Normally, ignoring air resistance, for projectile motion, the range (horizontal distance teavelled) of the motion is given as

R = (u² sin 2θ)/g

where

u = initial velocity of the projectile = 20 m/s

θ = angle above the horizontal at which the projectile was launched = 30°

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

R = (30² sin 60°) ÷ 9.8

R = 78.53 m

So, Normally, the stone should travel a horizontal distance of 78.53 m. So, travelling a horizontal distance of 32 m (less than half of what the range should be without air resistance) means that, the motion of the stone was impeded, hence, option E is correct.

There must be a horizontal wind opposite the direction of the stone's motion, because ignoring air resistance when calculating the horizontal range would yield a value greater than 32 m.

Hope this Helps!!!

A small convex mirror is placed 60 cm from the pole and on the axis of a large concave mirror of radius of curvature 200 cm. The
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Calculate 'R' of convex mirror and height of the real image

the radius of the convex mirror is 48cm

Explanation:

Distance between convex and concave mirror is =60cm

Radius of the concave mirror (R) = 200cm

For the concave mirror, u = ∞

V = {R}/{2}=100cm

The object for the convex mirror and the final image is on the pole of the concave mirror, and distance between convex and concave mirror is 60cm

u_1=60-100 =-40cm

Object will be behind the convex mirror

1/f=1/40+1/60  

f=24cms

the radius of the convex mirror is 48cm

550 J of work must be done to compress a gas to half its initial volume at constant temperature. How much work must be done to c
Over [174]

Answer:

The amount of work that must be done to compress the gas 11 times less than its initial pressure is 909.091 J

Explanation:

The given variables are

Work done = 550 J

Volume change = V₂ - V₁ = -0.5V₁

Thus the product of pressure and volume change = work done by gas, thus

P × -0.5V₁ = 500 J

Hence -PV₁ = 1000 J

also P₁/V₁ = P₂/V₂ but V₂ = 0.5V₁ Therefore  P₁/V₁ = P₂/0.5V₁ or P₁ = 2P₂

Also to compress the gas by a factor of 11 we have

P (V₂ - V₁) = P×(V₁/11 -V₁) = P(11V₁ - V₁)/11 = P×-10V₁/11 = -PV₁×10/11 = 1000 J ×10/11  = 909.091 J of work

Define power and describe how to determine power. (4 points)
Allushta [10]

Answer: The power is a measure of the rate at which work is done (or similarly, at which energy is transferred). The standard unit of power is Watt (1W). The power is determined by the change in energy, delta E (number of joules) and delta t, which is the time taken in seconds then: P= delta E/ delta t.
