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 .

Rearrange the equation current = voltage/resistance to express resistance in terms of current and voltage. Then solve the follow

MissTica

Answer:

Resistance, R = 13 ohms

Explanation:

The Ohm's law gives the direct relationship between the voltage, current and the resistance of the device. The relation is as follows :

$V=IR$

Where

I is the current

r is the resistance

The value of resistance is given by :

$R=\dfrac{V}{I}$

According to given data,

Voltage of the circuit, V = 130 V

Current rating of the circuit, I = 10 A

Resistance of the device,

$R=\dfrac{130\ V}{10\ A}$

R = 13 ohms

So, the resistance of the device is 13 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.

A small rock is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 27.0 m/s from the edge of the roof of a 21.0-m-tall building. The rock

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

A. 33.77 m/s

B. 6.20 s

Explanation:

Frame of reference:

Gravity g=-9.8 m/s^2; Initial position (roof) y=0; Final Position street y= -21 m

Initial velocity upwards v= 27 m/s

Part A. Using kinematics expression for velocities and distance:

$V_{final}^{2}=V_{initial}^{2}+2g(y_{final}-y_{initial})\\V_{f}^{2}=27^{2}-2*9.8(-21-0)=33.77 m/s$

Part B. Using Kinematics expression for distance, time and initial velocity

$y_{final}=y_{initial}+V_{initial}t+\frac{1}{2} g*t^{2}\\==> -0.5*9.8t^{2}+27t+21=0\\==> t_1 =-0.69 s\\t_2=6.20 s$

Since it is a second order equation for time, we solved it with a calculator. We pick the positive solution.

A uniform horizontal strut weighs 400.0 N. One end of the strut is attached to a hinged support at the wall, and the other end o

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Weight of strut $W_1=400 N$

Weight of sign Board $W_2=200 N$

In this question angle which cable makes with horizontal is not given so

assuming $\theta =30^{\circ}$

From Diagram

Moment about hinge point

$T\sin 30\times L=W_1\times \frac{L}{2}+W_2\times L$

$T\sin 30=\frac{W_1}{2}+W_2$

$T\sin 30=\frac{400}{2}+200$

$T=800 N$

$\sum F$ in x direction is zero

$F_x=T\cos 30$

$F_x=800\cos 30=346.41 N$

$\sum F$ in Y direction is zero therefore

$F_y+T\sin 30=W_1+W_2$

$F_y=400+200-800\cdot \sin 30$

$F_y=200 N$

$F_{net}\ at\ hinge=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}$

$F_{net}=399.99\approx 400 N$
