A woman stands on a bathroom scale in a motionless elevator. When the elevator begins to move, the scale briefly reads only 0.64

of her regular weight. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the elevator.

Answer:

The downwards acceleration is 3.53 m/s2.

Explanation:

Let the true weight is m g.

The reading of the balance, R = 0.64 mg

Let the acceleration is a.

As the apparent weight is less than the true weight so the elevator goes down wards with some acceleration.

Use Newton's second law

m g - R = m a

m g - 0.64 m g = m a

0.36 g = a

a = 3.53 m/s2

An electron passes location < 0.02, 0.04, -0.06 > m and 5 us later is detected at location < 0.02, 1.62,-0.79 > m (1
hram777 [196]

Answer:

(a)

Average velocity = < 0, 316000, 146000> m/s

(b) < 0, 2.844, 1.314 > m

Explanation:

r1 = < 0.02, 0.04, - 0.06 > m

r2 = < 0.02, 1.62, - 0.79 > m

time, t = 5 micro second = 5 x 10^-6 s

(a) Average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement to the total time taken.

Displacement = r = r2 - r1

r = < 0.02 - 0.02, 1.62 - 0.04, - 0.79 + 0.06 > m

r = < 0, 1.58, - 0.73 > m

So. Average velocity =  \frac{< 0, 1.58, - 0.73 >}{5 \times 10^{-6}}

Average velocity = < 0, 316000, 146000> m/s

Average velocity = < 0, 316000, 146000> m/s

(b)

Distance = velocity x time

Here time, t = 9 micro second

d =  < 0, 316000, 146000>  x 9 x 10^-6 m

d = < 0, 2.844, 1.314 > m

A 4.1 object is lifted to a height of 4.5m above the surface of Earth.What is the potential energy of the object due to gravity?
liberstina [14]

Answer:

P = 180.81 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a object, m = 4.1 kg

It is lifted to a height of 4.5 m

We need to find the potential energy of the object due to gravity. It is given by the formula as follows :

P = mgh Where g is acceleration due to gravity

P = 4.1 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 4.5 m

P = 180.81 J

Hence, the potential energy is 180.81 J.
