Answer:
The magnitude of the force is 0.7255kN
Explanation:
The elevator floor acts on the person with a force that is due to the gravitational acceleration less the downward acceleration of the elevator:
(force of floor F) = (mass of person m) x [ (grav. acceleration g) - (elevator acceleration a) ]
in other words, considering the elevator floor as a reference frame in the Earth's gravitational field, the person's weight decreases due to the downward acceleration, as follows:
We are given the person's weight at rest, 0.9kN, from which the mass can be determined as:
So
Answer:
41°
Explanation:
Kinetic energy at bottom = potential energy at top
½ mv² = mgh
½ v² = gh
h = v²/(2g)
h = (2.4 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s²)
h = 0.294 m
The pendulum rises to a height of above the bottom. To determine the angle, we need to use trigonometry (see attached diagram).
L − h = L cos θ
cos θ = (L − h) / L
cos θ = (1.2 − 0.294) / 1.2
θ = 41.0°
Rounded to two significant figures, the pendulum makes a maximum angle of 41° with the vertical.
