What happens when the elevator is in free-fall, that is, what is the value for FN and what is the sensation experienced by the p

erson in the elevator? Also, discuss the meaning of FN<0.

Answer:

Weightlessness

Explanation:

When the elevator is in free fall, this can only occur when the cord of the elevator breaks.

The acceleration of the elevator will be equal to the acceleration due to gravity. That is:

a = g

Then, the body will experience what we called WEIGHTLESSNESS

Where the normal reaction N of the person will tend to zero. That is

N = 0

The value of FN < 0 because the person inside the lift will experience weightlessness.

A force did 80 j of work on an object in 4 m how big was the force
yanalaym [24]

Work = (force) x (distance)

80 J = (force) x (4 m)

Force = (80 J) / (4 m)  =  20 N

That's IF the force was in the same direction as the 4m of motion.
If the force was kind of slanted, then it had to be stronger, and
it had a component of 20N in the direction of the motion.

A 2.00 kg block on a horizontal floor is attached to a horizontal spring that is initially compressed 0.0300 m . The spring has
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

v = 0.41 m/s

Explanation:

  • In this case, the change in the mechanical energy, is equal to the work done by the fricition force on the block.
  • At any point, the total mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy plus the elastic potential energy.
  • So, we can write the following general equation, taking the initial and final values of the energies:

       \Delta K + \Delta U = W_{ffr}  (1)

  • Since the block and spring start at rest, the change in the kinetic energy is just the final kinetic energy value, Kf.
  • ⇒ Kf = 1/2*m*vf²  (2)
  • The change in the potential energy, can be written as follows:

       \Delta U = U_{f}  - U_{o}  = \frac{1}{2} * k * (x_{f} ^{2} - x_{0} ^{2} ) (3)

       where k = force constant = 815 N/m

       xf = final displacement of the block = 0.01 m (taking as x=0 the position

      for the spring at equilibrium)

      x₀ = initial displacement of  the block = 0.03 m

  • Regarding the work done by the force of friction, it can be written as follows:

       W_{ffr} = - \mu_{k}* F_{n} * \Delta x  (4)

       where μk = coefficient of kinettic friction, Fn = normal force, and Δx =

       horizontal displacement.

  • Since the surface is horizontal, and no acceleration is present in the vertical direction, the normal force must be equal and opposite to the force due to gravity, Fg:
  • Fn = Fg= m*g (5)
  • Replacing (5) in (4), and (3) and (4) in (1), and rearranging, we get:

        \frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2} = W_{ffr} - \Delta U = W_{ffr} - (U_{f} -U_{o})  (6)

        \frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2} = (- \mu_{k}* m*g* \Delta x)  -\frac{1}{2} * k * (x_{f} ^{2} - x_{0} ^{2} ) (7)

  • Replacing by the values of m, k, g, xf and x₀, in (7) and solving for v, we finally get:

    \frac{1}{2} * 2.00 kg* v^{2}  = (-0.4*2.00 kg*9.8m/s2*0.02m) +( (\frac{1}{2} *815 N/m)* (0.03m)^{2} - (0.01m)^{2}) = -0.1568 J + 0.326 J (8)

  • v =\sqrt{(0.326-0.1568}  =  0.41 m/s  (9)
