Zach, whose mass is 85 kg, is in an elevator descending at 8 m/s. The elevator takes 3.2 s to brake to a stop at the first floor

.What is Zach's weight while the elevator is braking?

Explanation:

acceleration = 8/3.2 = 2.5m/s² ( acceleration due to gravity = g ).

mass = 85 kg.

weight = mg = 85×2.5 = 212.5N .

hope this helps you.

We are asked to know the reason why magnetic dipole can be written as U = -m *B. The reason for this was that the negative sign is just showing or indicating the direction of the force. If it if negative, it means that the work done is opposite to the force field.

Can some answer 7 a and b please

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

a.After $15$ second Mr Comer's speed $=$ $1.7 m/s$

b.Distance travelled by Mr.Comer in $15$ seconds $=$ $18.75\ m$

Explanation:

a. Lets recall our first equation of motion $V_{f} =V_{i} + at$

Now we know that $V_{i} = 0.8m/s$ , $a = 0.06\ m/s^2$ and

$t = 15 \ sec$

Plugging the values we have.

$V_{f} =V_{i} + at$

$V_{f} =0.8 + 0.06 \times 15$

$V_{f} =0.8+ 0.9$

$V_{f} =1.7 m/s$

Then Mr.Comer's speed after $15$ sec $=$ $1.7ms^-1$

b.

Lets find the distance and recall our third equation of motion.

$V_{f} ^2-V{i}^2 = 2as$

So $s =$ distance covered.

Dividing both sides with 2a we have.

$\frac{V_{f} ^2-V{i}^2}{2a} = 2as$

Plugging the values.

$\frac{(1.7)^2-(0.8)^2}{2\times0.06} = 2as$

$s= 18.75\ m$

So Mr.Comer will travel a distance of $s= 18.75\ m$ .

Changing the speed of a synchronous generator changes A) the frequency and amplitude of the output voltage. B) only the frequenc

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

A) the frequency and amplitude of the output voltag

Explanation:

Changing the speed of a synchronous generator changes both the output voltage (amplitude of the wave) and frequency as they tend to increase.

Changing the speed regulator will change the engine throttle setting to maintain the speed.

While the power, torque, current, fuel flow rate and torque angle will have decreased.
