Speed equals distance divided by time (Speed=Distance/Time).

For example if it takes someone three minutes to go three miles their speed is one mile a minute.

24. An elevator is moving vertically up with an acceleration a. The force exerted on the floor by a passenger of mass m is

Wewaii [24]

Given :-

An elevator is moving vertically up with an acceleration a.

To Find :-

The force exerted on the floor by a passenger of mass m .

Solution :-

As the man is in a accelerated frame that is non inertial frame , we would have to think of a pseudo force .

The direction of this force is opposite to the direction of acceleration the frame and its magnitude is equal to the product of mass of the concerned body with the acceleration of the frame .

For the FBD refer to the attachment . From that ,

$\implies Weight_{apparent}= mg + ma$

Hence option d is correct choice .

I hope this helps .

Amy crashed her bike into the fence. She was thrown over it onto the lawn. Which Newton law applies

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Newton's First Law of Motion applies here.

Explanation:

Before crashing into the fence, Amy was moving at a certain speed on her bike. As, she crashed her bike into the fence, the collision stopped the bike suddenly. But, Amy had the same speed due to inertia of her body. Due tot his speed Amy did not stop and she was thrown over the fence onto the lawn. So, the force of inertia of Amy's body caused her to be overthrown in this case. We study about inertia in Newton's First Law of Motion, which is also known as Law of Inertia.

Newton's First Law of Motion applies here.
