Given :-

An elevator is moving vertically up with an acceleration a.

To Find :-

The force exerted on the floor by a passenger of mass m .

Solution :-

As the man is in a accelerated frame that is non inertial frame , we would have to think of a pseudo force .

The direction of this force is opposite to the direction of acceleration the frame and its magnitude is equal to the product of mass of the concerned body with the acceleration of the frame .

For the FBD refer to the attachment . From that ,

$\implies Weight_{apparent}= mg + ma$

Hence option d is correct choice .

I hope this helps .

The height of a projectile t seconds after it is launched straight up in the air is given by f (t )equals negative 16 t squared

velikii [3]

Answer:

$\displaystyle a(5)=-32$

Explanation:

Instant Acceleration

The kinetic magnitudes are usually related as scalar or vector equations. By doing so, we are assuming the acceleration is constant over time. But when the acceleration is variable, the relations are in the form of calculus equations, specifically using derivatives and/or integrals.

Let f(t) be the distance traveled by an object as a function of the time t. The instant speed v(t) is defined as:

$\displaystyle v(t)=\frac{df}{dt}$

And the acceleration is

$\displaystyle a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}$

Or equivalently

$\displaystyle a(t)=\frac{d^2f}{d^2t}$

The given height of a projectile is

$f(t)=-16t^2 +238t+3$

Let's compute the speed

$\displaystyle v(t)=-32t+238$

And the acceleration

$\displaystyle a(t)=-32$

It's a constant value regardless of the time t, thus

$\boxed{\displaystyle a(5)=-32}$

You need to design a 60.0-Hz ac generator that has a maximum emf of 5200 V. The generator is to contain a 130-turn coil that has

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

B = 0.129 T

Explanation:

Given,

frequency, f = 60 Hz

maximum emf = 5200 V

Number of turns, N = 130

Area per turn = 0.82 m²

We know,

ω = 2 π f

ω = 2 π x 60 = 376.99 rad/s

now, Magnetic field calculation

$B =\dfrac{\epsilon_{max}}{NA\omega}$

$B =\dfrac{5200}{130\times 0.82\times 376.99}$

B = 0.129 T

Hence, the magnetic field is equal to B = 0.129 T

How is artificial gravity created in spaceships and sattelites ?????? U need some IQ for this

goldfiish [28.3K]

Explanation:

Artificial gravity can be created using a centripetal force. A centripetal force directed towards the center of the turn is required for any object to move in a circular path. In the context of a rotating space station it is the normal force provided by the spacecraft's hull that acts as centripetal force.

Hope it helps.
