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 .

A planet has a period of revolution about the sun equal to T and a mean distance from the sun equal to R. T2 varies directly as
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

T² ∝ R³

Explanation:

Given data,

The period of revolution of the planet around the sun, T

The mean distance of the planet from the sun, R

According to the III law of Kepler, " Law of Periods' states that the square of the orbital period to go around the sun once is directly proportional to the cube of the mean distance between the sun and the planet.

                              T² ∝ R³

                               \frac{T^{2}}{R^{3}} = Constant

From the above equation it is clear that T² varies directly as the R³.

How much energy is needed to melt 150 g of ice at 0°C to water? (1)(Lf =3.34˟ 10⁵ J/Kg)
NARA [144]

Answer:

5.01×10⁴ J.

Explanation:

Applying,

q = Cm....................... Equation 1

Where q = amount of heat needed to melt the ice, m = mass of the ice, C = specific latent heat of ice.

From the question,

Given: m = 150 g = (150/1000) kg = 0.15 kg, C = 3.34×10⁵ J/kg

Substitute these values into equation 1

q = (0.15×3.34×10⁵)

q = 0.501×10⁵ J

q = 5.01×10⁴ J.

Through what potential difference should electrons be accelerated so that their speed is 1.0 % of the speed of light when they h
omeli [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Considering non - relativistic approach : ----

Speed of electron = 1 % of speed of light

= .01 x 3 x 10⁸ m /s

= 3 x 10⁶ m /s

Kinetic energy of electron = 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ x ( 3 x 10⁶ )²

= 40.95 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Kinetic energy in electron comes from lose of electrical energy equal to

Ve where V is potential difference under which electron is accelerated and e is electronic charge .

V x e = kinetic energy of electron

V x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 40.95 x 10⁻¹⁹

V = 25.6 Volt .
