Elivator, cause their is more gravity fighting agenced it, because its being directly lifted

ANSWER: ELEVATOR:
An elevator gets its power from the electric motors that lift it. so you are not physically moving and all you have to do is stand and wait for the elevator to stop at the 10th floor but stairs don't have any power at all. All the energy used to climb them has to come from your muscles.

An Olympic discus thrower (~100 kg) launches the 2.0 kg discus by spinning rapidly (~4 times per second) with arm outstretched (

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

F = 1263.03 N

Explanation:s

given,

mass of the disk thrower = 100 Kg

mass of the disk = 2 Kg

angular speed of the disk = 4 rev/s

arm outstretched = 1 m

centripetal force of the disk in the circular path

F = m ω² r

ω = 4 x 2 x π

ω = 25.13 rad/s

F = m ω² r

F = 2 x 25.13² x 1

F = 1263.03 N

hence, centripetal force equal to the F = 1263.03 N

A burglar attempts to drag a 108 kg metal safe across a polished wood floor Assume that the coefficient of static friction is 0.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

2.00 m/s²

Explanation:

Given

The Mass of the metal safe, M = 108kg

Pushing force applied by the burglar, F = 534 N

Co-efficient of kinetic friction, $\mu_k$ = 0.3

Now,

The force against the kinetic friction is given as:

$f = \mu_k N = u_k Mg$

Where,

N = Normal reaction

g= acceleration due to the gravity

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

$f = 0.3\times108\times9.8$

$f = 317.52N$

Now, the net force on to the metal safe is

$F_{Net}= F-f$

Substituting the values in the equation we get

$F_{Net}= 534N-317.52N$

$F_{Net}= 216.48$

also,

$F_{Net}= M\times$ acceleration of the safe

Therefore, the acceleration of the metal safe will be

acceleration of the safe= $\frac{F_{Net}}{M}$

acceleration of the safe= $\frac{216.48}{108}$

acceleration of the safe= $2.00 m/s^2$

Hence, the acceleration of the metal safe will be 2.00 m/s²

Pitch marks are the invitations left by the ball when they fall on the green

Kipish [7]

You can mark, lift and clean a ball on the green, but it's a violation to do so when another ball is in motion, as your ball might influence the outcome of that stroke. You can also mark and clean your ball in some instances when it's off the green: cleaning it, for example, just to the point where you can identify it.
