Answer:

a) t = 0.782

b) v_b/el = -7.67 m/s

c) v_b/e = - 5.17 m/s

d) y_b/e = 1.04 m down-wads

Explanation:

Given:

- initial position of bolt y_b,i = 3.0 m

- initial velocity of bolt v_b,i = 2.50 m/s

- constant velocity of elevator v_e = 2.50 m/s

- acceleration of free fall for bolt a = 9.81 m/s^2

Find

- (a) How long does it take for the bolt to fall to the elevator floor? What is the speed of the bolt just as it hits the elevator floor

- (b) according to an observer in the elevator?

- (c) According to an observer standing on one of the floor landings of the building?

- (d) According to the observer in part (c), what distance did the bolt travel between the ceiling and the floor of the elevator?

Solution:

- The position of bolt y_b is given by kinematic equation of motion:

                         y_b = 3.0 + 2.5*t +0.5*9.81*t^2

- position of floor with constant upward speed is:

                         y_f = 2.50*t

- When bolt hits the floor they have same position:

                         3.0 + 2.5*t +0.5*9.81*t^2 = 2.50*t

                         4.905*t^2 = 3.0

                         t = sqrt(3/4.905) = 0.782 s

- velocity of the bolt relative to earth is:

                         v_b/e = 2.50 - 9.81*0.782

                         v_b/e = -5.17 m/s

- Hence, relative to observer in elevator:

                         v_b/el = -5.17 - 2.5

                         v_b/el = -7.67 m/s

- Relative to earth the distance traveled by bolt is:

                         y_b/e = 2.5 - 0.5*9.81*(0.782)^2

                        y_b/e = -1.04 m (downwards)

Maggie walks to a friends house which is exactly 1500 meters due South. It takes Maggie 45 minutes for the walk and Maggie has t
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

<em>Explanation below</em>

Explanation:

<u>Speed vs Velocity </u>

These are two similar physical concepts. They only differ in the fact that the velocity is vectorial, i.e. having magnitude and direction, and the speed is scalar, just the magnitude regardless of the direction. They are strongly related to the concepts of displacement and distance, which are the vectorial and scalar versions of the space traveled by a moving object. The velocity can be computed as

\displaystyle \vec v=\frac{\vec r}{t}

Where \vec r is the position vector and t is the time. The speed is

\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}

To compute \vec r, we only need to know the initial and final positions and subtract them. To compute d, we need to add all the distances traveled by the object, regardless of their directions.

Maggie walks to a friend's house, located 1500 meters from her place. The initial position is 0 and the final position is 1500 m. The displacement is

\vec r=1500\ m \text{ to the south}

and the velocity is

\displaystyle \vec v=\frac{1500}{45}=33.33\ m/s\text{ to the south}

Now, we know Maggie had to make three different turns of direction to finally get there. This means her distance is more than 1500 m. Let's say she walked 500 m in all the turns, then the distance is

d=1500+500=2000\ m

If she took the same time to reach her destiny, she would have to run faster, because her average speed is

\displaystyle v=\frac{2000}{45}=44.44\ m/s

What happens to the work done when a force is doubled and the distance moved remain the same?​
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Work done gets doubled.

Explanation:

The work done by a force is given by :

W = Fd

Where

F is force and d is distance move

If the force is doubled and the distance moved remain the same, it would mean that the work done becomes double of the initial work done.
