Just as the last passenger steps out of the elevator at the thirteenth floor, a malfunction occurs and it begins dropping toward

the ground floor in free fall, Ignoring friction (and the fact that elevators are designed to avoid this type of accident), what is its downward acceleration? How fast is it moving after 2.5 s?

+10m/s²--25m/s

Explanation:

it's downward acceleration is +10ms-²

since it is falling freely under the influence of gravity

Since the elevator drops downward, that is initially from rest , u=0

so for this equation S=u + ½at²

but since u is 0 the new equation becomes S=½at²

thus from the new equation we determine the height attained after 2.5s during the fall

substituting 2.5s in the equation...

we get s to be 31.25m

then we substitute s in this equation when u=0 to get the velocity of the body

v²=u²+2as

v²=2as

v²=2(+10•31.25)

v²=625

v=25m/s

i suppose this will help

What is the difference between liquid and fluid friction
frez [133]
Friction is used to refer to forces that resist relative motion, in general,whereas viscosity refers specifically to resistive forces that occur between layers of a fluid when fluids attempt to flow. Fluid friction is the force that resists the movement of a solid object through a fluid(liquid or gas). Sky divers falling down through the sky experience a type of fluid frictioncalled air resistance.

If vector y = 21cm and vector Z=75 cm, what is vector x ?
pychu [463]
That depends on how 'x' is related to 'y' and 'z' ... like the angles between all of them, and whether they're all on the same planet. A drawing would sure help.

V125BC [204]
Don’t quite know what answer you’re looking for since I can think off couple straight off the bat. But the best answer I can think of is maybe Kinetic energy? If that sounds wrong then sorry, I don’t quite know what it is you’re learning about

When ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 400.0 nm falls on a certain metal surface, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted
Andru [333]

Answer:

Explanation:

energy of photon having wavelength of 400 nm = 1237.5/400 eV

= 3.1 eV.

Maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons = 1.1 eV .

Threshold energy Ф = 3.1 - 1.1 = 2 eV .

energy of photons having wavelength of 310 nm = 1237.5 / 310 eV = 4 eV .

Maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons = energy of photons - Threshold energy

= 4 - 2 = 2 eV .

Required kinetic energy K₀= 2 eV.

Inessa05 [86]

Initial velocity=u=15m/s

Final velocity=v=10m/s

Time=0.08s

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{10-15}{0.08}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{-5}{0.08}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=-62.5m/s^2
