A 50.0 kg person is walking horizontally with constant acceleration of 0.25 m/s² inside an elevator. The elevator is also accele

rating downward at a rate of 1.0 m/s². Sketch the path of the man as it is observed from someone on the ground. Explain your choice.

Alexxandr [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The acceleration is in 2 D as in between east and south.

Explanation:

mass, m = 50 kg

acceleration, a = 0.25 m/s^2 horizontal

acceleration of elevator, a' = 1 m/s^2 downwards

When a person on the ground the resultant acceleration of the person with respect to the ground is between east and south direction so the path os parabolic in nature. It graph is shown below:

A student made the claim that a 4 gram paintball fired from a paintball gun at 90 m/s could have about the same kinetic energy a
vovikov84 [41]

This question involves the concept of kinetic energy.

The student's claim is "right".

<h3>Kinetic Energy</h3>

The energy possessed by a body, by the virtue of its motion is called kinetic energy. Mathematically it is given by the following formula:

K.E =\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where,

  • K.E = Kinetic energy
  • m = mass
  • v = velocity

Therefore,

For the paintball:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}(4\ g)(90\ m/s)^2

K.E = 16200 J

For the pellet:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}(1\ g)(180\ m/s)^2

K.E = 16200 J

Hence, both paintball and pellet will have same kinetic energy. The student is right.

A bus travel with an average velocity of 60km/h. How long does it take to cover a distance of 500km​
Mnenie [13.5K]

Around 8 hours and 20 minutes

Explanation:

I divided 500 by 60 and got 8.3333333333 and i round it up to 8.20, so it is 8 hours and 20 minutes.

According to Archimedes' Principle, what condition has to be met for an object to float?you will get branliest
MissTica

Explanation:

The buoyant force must be greater to float, otherwise it would sink, its like a barrel in water, the more water weight in it the more it sinks, the more air weight the more it rises.

Consider a space shuttle which has a mass of about 1.0 x 105 kg and circles the Earth at an altitude of about 200.0 km. Calculat
svetlana [45]

Answer:

1.6675×10^-16N

Explanation:

The force of gravity that the space shuttle experiences is expressed as;

g = GM/r²

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass = 1.0 x 10^5 kg

r is the altitude = 200km = 200,000m

Substitute into the formula

g = 6.67×10^-11 × 1.0×10^5/(2×10^5)²

g = 6.67×10^-6/4×10^10

g = 1.6675×10^{-6-10}

g = 1.6675×10^-16N

Hence the force of gravity experienced by the shuttle is 1.6675×10^-16N

Suppose a 48-N sled is resting on packed snow. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.10. If a person weighing 660 N sits on t
Annette [7]

Assume the snow is uniform, and horizontal.

Given:

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.10 = muK

weight of sled = 48 N

weight of rider = 660 N

normal force on of sled with rider = 48+660 N = 708 N = N

Force required to maintain a uniform speed

= coefficient of kinetic friction * normal force

= muK * N

= 0.10 * 708 N

=70.8 N


Note: it takes more than 70.8 N to start the sled in motion, because static friction is in general greater than kinetic friction.
