Explanation:
According to Newton's second law of motion, the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied unbalanced force. The mathematical expression is given by:
Where
F is the applied force
m is the mass of the object
v is the velocity with which it is moving
Momentum of a particle is given by the product of mass and velocity as :
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
We show added energy to a system as +Q or -W
Explanation:
The first law of thermodynamics states that, in an isolated system, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed;
Energy is added to the internal energy of a system as either work energy or heat energy as follows;
ΔU = Q - W
Therefore, when energy is added as heat energy to a system, we show the energy as positive Q (+Q), when energy is added to the system in the form of work, we show the energy as minus W (-W).
Answer:
magnitude of the velocity
Explanation:
Answer:
5.51 m/s^2
Explanation:
Initial scale reading = 50 kg
assume the greatest scale reading = 78.09 kg
<u>Determine the maximum acceleration for these elevators</u>
At rest the weight is = 50 kg
Weight ( F ) = mg = 50 * 9.81 = 490.5 N<u>
</u>
<u>
</u>At the 10th floor weight = 78.09 kg
Weight at 10th floor ( F ) = 78.09 * 9.81 = 766.11 N
F = change in weight
Change in weight( F ) = ma = 766.11 - 490.5 (we will take the mass as the starting mass as that mass is calculated when the body is at rest)
50 * a = 275.61
Hence the maximum acceleration ( a ) = 275.61 / 50 = 5.51 m/s^2
