Answer:

a. Acceleration = 1.75 m/s²

b. Force = 105 Newton.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Mass = 60kg

Final velocity = 7m/s

Time = 4 seconds

Required to find the acceleration and force of the body;

a. To find the acceleration;

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity  -  initial \; velocity}{time}

Where;

  • a is acceleration measured in ms^{-2}
  • v and u is final and initial velocity respectively, measured in ms^{-1}
  • t is time measured in seconds.

Since the elevator is starting from rest, its initial velocity is equal to 0m/s.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Acceleration = \frac{7 - 0}{4}

Acceleration = \frac{7}{4}

<em>Acceleration = 1.75 m/s²</em>

b. To find the force;

Force = mass * acceleration

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Force = 60 * 1.75

<em>Force = 105 Newton. </em>

Answer:at 21.6 min they were separated by 12 km

Explanation:

We can consider the next diagram

B2------15km/h------->Dock

|

|

B1 at 20km/h

|

|

V

So by the time B1 leaves, being B2 traveling at constant 15km/h and getting to the dock one hour later means it was at 15km from the dock, the other boat, B1 is at a distance at a given time, considering constant speed of 20km/h*t going south, where t is in hours, meanwhile from the dock the B2 is at a distance of (15km-15km/h*t), t=0, when it is 8pm.

Then we have a right triangle and the distance from boat B1 to boat B2, can be measured as the square root of (15-15*t)^2 +(20*t)^2. We are looking for a minimum, then we have to find the derivative with respect to t. This is 5*(25*t-9)/(sqrt(25*t^2-18*t+9)), this derivative is zero at t=9/25=0,36 h = 21.6 min, now to be sure it is a minimum we apply the second derivative criteria that states that if the second derivative at the given critical point is positive it means here we have a minimum, and by calculating the second derivative we find it is 720/(25 t^2 - 18 t + 9)^(3/2) that is positive at t=9/25, then we have our answer. And besides replacing the value of t we get the distance is 12 km.

If you are in an elevator that speed up then the apparent weight is
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Fnet - Fg

Explanation:

When an object is in an elevator, its weight varies with respect to the direction of movement of the elevator and the elevators acceleration.

The weight, W, of an object can be expressed as;

W = mg

where m is the object's mass, and g is the acceleration due gravity.

If the object is in an elevator that speed up, an apparent weight would be felt since both mass and elevator are moving against gravitational pull of the earth.

So that,

W_{net} = mg + ma

where: mg is the weight of the object, and ma is the apparent weight.

Apparent weight (ma) = W_{net} - mg
