a man stands in a lift going downward with uniform velocity. he experiences a loss of weight at the start but not when lift is i

n uniform motion ..explain why​

AnnyKZ [126]3 years ago

Answer:

It is explained in the explanation section

Explanation:

When the lift starts going downwards, it will start accelerating downwards. After a while, it will start moving with a constant velocity.

Constant velocity means that acceleration is zero and so the man will not feel any weight loss.

Now, Once the lift achieves constant velocity the acceleration is zero hence he will not experience any weight loss.

However, when the lift is in uniform motion, the lift and the man will fall down with an acceleration(a) that is less than that due to gravity(g) . Thus, the man will feel an apparent weight F which is not equal to zero.

Calculate the momentum of a 1800 kg elephant charging a hunter at a speed of 7.50 m/s.
liq [111]

The amount of movement, linear momentum, momentum or momentum is a physical quantity derived from a vector type that describes the movement of a body in any mechanical theory. In classical mechanics, the amount of movement is defined as the product of body mass and its velocity at a given time.

p= mv

Where,

m = mass

v = Velocity

Our values are given as,

m = 1800kg

v = 7.5m/s

Replacing we have that,

p = (1800)(7.5)

p = 13500kg\cdot m/s

Therefore the momentum is 13500kg\cdot m/s

As a 2.0-kg object moves from (4.4 i + 5j) m to ( 11.6 i - 2j) m, the constant resultant force
fgiga [73]

Answer: 107.8\ J

Explanation:

Given

Initial position of object is (4.4 i+5 j)

Final position of object is (11.6 i -2 j)

Force acting (4i-9j)

Work done is given by

\Rightarrow W=F\cdot dx\\\Rightarrow W=(4i-9j)\cdot (11.6i-4.4i-2j-5j)\\\Rightarrow W=(4i-9j)\cdot (7.2i-7j)\\\Rightarrow W=28.8+63\\\Rightarrow W=91.8\ J

Initial kinetic energy

K_i=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4^2\\\\K_i=16\ J

Change in kinetic energy is equal to work done by object

\Rightarrow K_f=K_i+W\\\Rightarrow K_f=16+91.8\\\Rightarrow K_f=107.8\ J

The direction of the magnetic field produced by an electric current will change when the direction of the _ changes.
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: Electric current

Explanation :

The direction of the magnetic field produced by an electric current will change when the direction of the electric current changes.

For example :

If a current is flowing in a straight length of wire, the magnetic field is described by a concentric circle (using right-hand rule).

Let the field lines are in the clockwise direction and when the direction of current is reversed then the direction of the magnetic field is in anticlockwise direction.
