An escalator is 17.4 m long. If a person stands on the escalator, it takes 47.6 s to ride from the bottom to the top. If a perso

n walks up the moving escalator with a speed of 0.541 m/s relative to the escalator, how long does it take the person to get to the top?

Answer:

19.1 secs

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the velocity

= 17.4/47.6

= 0.37 m/s

Therefore the time taken for the person to reach the top can be calculated as follows

= 17.4/(0.37+0.541)

= 17.4 / 0.911

= 19.1 secs

Hence the time taken is 19.1 secs

What is the pressure on a horizontal surface with an area of 8 msquared that is 4 m​ underwater? Use 1000 kg divided by m cubed
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

140525 pa

Explanation:

h = depth of water = 4 m

A = Area of surface = 8 m²

\rho = Density of water = 1000 kg m⁻³

tex]g[/tex] = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 ms⁻²

P_{o} = Atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

P = Pressure at the given depth "h"

Pressure at the given depth is given as

P = P_{o} + \rho g h\\P = 101325 + (1000) (9.8) (4)\\P = 140525 pa

A rock is suspended from a string, and it accelerates downward. Which one of the following statements is correct? Group of answe
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

a. The magnitude of the tension in the string is greater than the magnitude of the weight of the rock.

Explanation:

During the motion of the rock while it is in downward motion we can say

T - mg cos\theta = ma_c

since it is performing circular motion so we will have its acceleration towards its center

T = mgcos\theta + ma_c

a_c = \frac{v^2}{L}

T = mgcos\theta + \frac{mv^2}{L}

So at the lowest point of the path we can say

T = mg + \frac{mv^2}{L}

so correct answer is

a. The magnitude of the tension in the string is greater than the magnitude of the weight of the rock.

If an automobile engine delivers 42.0 hp of power, how much time will it take for the engine to do 6.20 â 105 j of work? (hint:
Elena L [17]
To be able to answer this item, we are to calculate the power that the machine could deliver from hp to kW. 

      (45 hp)(746 W/1 hp) = 33570 W

Power is the amount of energy delivered at a certain period. 

             t = (6.20 x 10^2 J)/ (33570 kJ/s)

             t = 0.01845 s
