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 .

insens350 [35]

Let the distance between the towns be d and the speed of the air be s.

distance = speed * time

convert the minutes time into hours.

When flying into the wind, ground speed will be air speed MINUS wind speed, hence the against the wind trip is described by:

d

s−15

=

7

3

return trip is then :

d

s+15

=

7

5

Cross-multiplying both we get the two-variable system:

3d=7∗(s−15)5d=7∗(s+15)

3d=7s−1055d=7s+105

subtract first equation from second equation we get

2d=210d=105km

Substitute the value of d in the above equations for s.

5∗105=7s+1057s=420s=60km/hr

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The first graph is showing the constant acceleration (1 m/s)

Explanation:

The second graph showing the flexible velocity therefore a in the graph is different at t1, t2, t3, t4

The last graph is showing constant velocity therefore there is no acceleration (a = 0)

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calories to be burnt = 3500 - 2500 = 1000 Cals .

Efficiency of conversion to mechanical work  is 25 % .

Work needed to burn this much of Cals = 1000 x 100 / 25 = 4000 Cals.

4000 Cals = 4.2 x 4000 = 16800 J  .

Work done in one jump = kinetic energy while jumping

= 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 70 x 3.3²

= 381.15 J .

Number of jumps required = 16800 / 381.15

= 44 .
