Answer: 324.135 kJ

Explanation:

Given

Mass of dropping is m=2250\ kg

The initial height of dropping is h_1=16\ m

The final height of dropping h_2=1.3\ m

Gravitational potential energy is the function of height i.e.

\Rightarrow \text{G.E.}=mgh

Change in Gravitational Energy is

\Rightarrow \Delta \text{G.E.}=mg(h_1-h_2)=2250\times 9.8\times (16-1.3)\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta \text{G.E.}=3,24,135\ J\approx 324.135\ kJ

A man weighs himself twice in an elevator. When the elevator is at rest, he weighs 824 N; when the elevator starts moving upward
kifflom [539]

Answer: c. 1.3 m/s^2

Explanation:

When he is at rest, is weight can be calculated as:

W = g*m

where:

m = mass of the man

g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

We know that at rest his weight is W = 824N, then we have:

824N = m*9.8m/s^2

824N/(9.8m/s^2) = m = 84.1 kg

Now, when the elevators moves up with an acceleration a, the acceleration that the man inside fells down is g + a.

Then the new weight is calculated as:

W = m*(g + a)

and we know that in this case:

W = 932N

g = 9.8m/s^2

m = 84.1 kg

Then we can find the value of a if we solve:

932N = 84.1kg*(9.8m/s^2 + a)

932N/84.1kg = 11.1 m/s^2 = 9.8m/s^2 + a

11.1 m/s^2 - 9.8m/s^2 = a = 1.3 m/s^2

The correct option is C

When the force acting on the body equal to acceleration?
topjm [15]

Answer:

Acceleration and velocity Newton's second law says that when a constant force acts on a massive body, it causes it to accelerate, i.e., to change its velocity, at a constant rate. In the simplest case, a force applied to an object at rest causes it to accelerate in the direction of the force.
