A 72-kg man stands on a spring scale in an elevator. Starting from rest, the elevator ascends, attaining its maximum speed of 1.

2 m/s in 0.80 s. The elevator travels with this constant speed for 5.0 s, undergoes a uniform negative acceleration for 1.5 s, and then comes to rest. What does the spring scale register During the first 0.80s of the elevator’s ascent?

Answer:

Explanation:

During the first .8 s , the elevator is under acceleration . It starts from initial velocity u = 0 , final velocity v = 1.2 m /s , time = .8 s

v = u + at

1.2 = 0 +  .8 a

a = 1.2 / .8

= 1.5 m /s²

During the acceleration in upward direction , let reaction force of ground on man be R .

Net force on man = R - mg

Applying Newton's 2 nd law

R - mg = ma

R = m ( g + a )

= 72 ( 9.8 + 1.5 )

= 813.6 N .

This reaction force will be measured by spring scale , so reading of spring scale will be 813.6 N .

Answer:

9) a = 25 [m/s^2], t = 4 [s]

10) a = 0.0875 [m/s^2], t = 34.3 [s]

11) t = 32 [s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use kinematics equations. In this way we have:

9)

a)

v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2}-(2*a*x)\\

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vi = initial velocity = 100 [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

x = distance = 200 [m]

Note: the final speed is zero, as the car stops completely when it stops. The negative sign of the equation means that the car loses speed or slows down as it stops.

0 = (100)^2 - (2*a*200)

a = 25 [m/s^2]

b)

Now using the following equation:

v_{f} =v_{i} - (a*t)

0 = 100 - (25*t)

t = 4 [s]

10)

a)

To solve this problem we must use kinematics equations. In this way we have:

v_{f} ^{2} =  v_{i} ^{2} + 2*a*(x-x_{o})

Note:  The positive sign of the equation means that the car increases his speed.

5^2 = 2^2 + 2*a*(125 - 5)

25 - 4 = 2*a* (120)

a = 0.0875 [m/s^2]

b)

Now using the following equation:

v_{f}= v_{i}+a*t\\

5 = 2 + 0.0875*t

3 = 0.0875*t

t = 34.3 [s]

11)

To solve this problem we must use kinematics equations. In this way we have:

v_{f} ^{2} =  v_{i} ^{2} + 2*a*(x-x_{o})

10^2 = 2^2 + 2*a*(200 - 10)

100 - 4 = 2*a* (190)

a = 0.25 [m/s^2]

Now using the following equation:

v_{f}= v_{i}+a*t\\

10 = 2 + 0.25*t

8 = 0.25*t

t = 32 [s]

Oil having a density of 922kg/m^3 floats on water. A rectangular block of wood 3.97 cm high and with a density of 963 kg/m^3 flo
Blizzard [7]

Explanation:

For the equilibrium:

\rho_{wood}gh-\rho_{oil}g(h-x)-\rho_{water}gx=0ρ

wood

gh−ρ

oil

g(h−x)−ρ

water

gx=0

\rho_{wood}h-\rho_{oil}(h-x)-\rho_{water}x=0ρ

wood

h−ρ

oil

(h−x)−ρ

water

x=0

(974)(3.97)-928(3.97-x)-1000x=0(974)(3.97)−928(3.97−x)−1000x=0

x=2.54\ cmx=2.54 cm

Charles' law explains which of these phenomena?
Luden [163]
I think the correct answer would be that Charles' law explains why <span>a balloon deflates when the air around it cools. Charles' law is a simplification of the ideal gas law. At constant pressure,  volume and temperature have a direct relationship. Hope this helps.</span>

Find the energy in Joules required to lift a 55.0 Megagram object a distance of 500 cm.
fredd [130]

Energy to lift something =

               (mass of the object) x (gravity) x (height of the lift).

BUT ...

This simple formula only works if you use the right units.

Mass . . . kilograms
Gravity . . . meters/second²
Height . . . meters

For this question . . .

Mass = 55 megagram = 5.5 x 10⁷ grams = 5.5 x 10⁴ kilograms

Gravity (on Earth) = 9.8 m/second²

Height = 500 cm  =  5.0 meters

So we have ...

Energy = (5.5 x 10⁴ kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m)

            =  2,696,925 joules .

That's quite a large amount of energy ... equivalent to
straining at the rate of 1 horsepower for almost exactly an
hour, or burning a 100 watt light bulb for about 7-1/2 hours.

The reason is the large mass that's being lifted.
On Earth, that much mass weighs about 61 tons.
