Problem 1: a car is to be hoisted by elevator to the fourth floor of a parking garage, which is 52 ft above the ground. if the e

levator can accelerate at 0.7 ft/s2, decelerate at 0.35 ft/s2, and reach a maximum speed of 8 ft/s, determine the shortest time to make the lift, starting from rest and ending at rest.

The working equation for this problem is written below:
x = v₀t + 0.5at², where x is the distance traveled, v₀ is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time

Let's apply the concept of calculus. The maximum speed is equated to the derivative of x with respect to t.

dx/dt = 8 ft/s = v₀ + at

Since the it starts from rest, v₀ = 0

8 = at
t = 8/a  

The net acceleration is 0.7 - 0.35 = 0.35 ft/s². Thus,

t = 8/0.35 = 22.86 seconds

Which of the following is not true? A) The energy of the sun comes from nuclear fusion. B) The fuel for nuclear fusion comes fr
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Option B) The fuel for nuclear fusion comes from sea water

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion can not be carried out by using any type of water as water is composed of stable water molecules (H_{2}O which is quite difficult to be decayed by any simple method.

Moreover, fusion reactions demands the combination of nuclei of lighter elements for which it makes use of the heavy isotopes of Hydrogen that are Deuterium and Tritium as fuel to carry out the nuclear fusion.

Two boys with masses of 40 kg and 60 kg stand on a horizontal frictionless surface holding the ends of a light 10-m long rod. Th
kari74 [83]

When they meet the 40-kg boy will have moved a distance of 6 m.

Displacement of the 40 kg boy

The displacement of the 40 kg boy is calculated from the principle of center mass.

X(40 kg) = (60 x 10 m    +  40 x 0)/(40 kg + 60 kg)

X(40 kg) = (600)/(100) = 6 m

X(60 kg) = (60 x 0    +  40 x 10 m)/(40 kg + 60 kg)

X(60 kg) = (400)/(100) = 4 m

Thus, when they meet the 40-kg boy will have moved a distance of 6 m.

ella [17]
A variable is any factor, trait, or condition that can exist in differing amounts or types. An experiment usually has three kinds of variables: independent, dependent, and controlled. The independent variable is the one that is changed by the scientist.
