The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is
D = (1/2) (g) (t²)
Distance = (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)
We want to see how the time will be affected
if ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does.
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.
D = (1/2) (g) (t²)
Multiply each side by 2 : 2 D = g t²
Divide each side by ' g ' : 2 D/g = t²
Square root each side: t = √ (2D/g)
Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens
to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes:
-- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'
and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .
-- They don't change by the same factor, because 1/g is inside
the square root. So 't' changes the same amount as √1/g does.
Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly 1/6 the value
of gravity on the surface of the Earth.
So we expect ' t ' to increase by √6 = 2.45 times.
It would take the same bottle (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds
to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the
surface of the Moon.
Answer:
659.01W
Explanation:
The cab has a mass of 1250 kg, the weight of the cab represented by Wc will be
Wc = mass of the cab × acceleration due to gravity in m/s²
Wc = 1250 × 9.81 = 12262.5 N
but the counter weight of the elevator represented by We = mass × acceleration due to gravity = 995 × 9.81 = 9760.95 N
Net weight = weight of the cab - counter weight of the elevator = Wc - We = 12262.5 - 9760.95 = 2501.55 N
the motor of the elevator will have to provide this in form of work
work done by the elevator to lift the cab to height of 49 m = net weight × distance (height) = 2501.55 × 49m
power provided by the motor of the elevator = workdone by the motor / time in seconds
Power = (2501.55 × 49) ÷ ( 3.1 × 60 seconds) = 659.01 W

Answer:
The shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m
Explanation:
Given;
coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.84
speed of the automobile, u = 29.0 m/s
To determine the the shortest distance in which you can stop an automobile by locking the brakes, we apply the following equation;
v² = u² + 2ax
where;
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
x is the shortest distance
First we determine a;
From Newton's second law of motion
∑F = ma
F is the kinetic friction that opposes the motion of the car
-Fk = ma
but, -Fk = -μN
-μN = ma
-μmg = ma
-μg = a
- 0.8 x 9.8 = a
-7.84 m/s² = a
Now, substitute in the value of a in the equation above
v² = u² + 2ax
when the automobile stops, the final velocity, v = 0
0 = 29² + 2(-7.84)x
0 = 841 - 15.68x
15.68x = 841
x = 841 / 15.68
x = 53.64 m
Thus, the shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m
