Answer : 413.44N

Here it is given that an elevator is moving down with an acceleration of 3.36 m/s² . And we are interested in finding out the apparent weight of a 64.2 kg man . For the diagram refer to the attachment .

  • From the elevator's frame ( non inertial frame of reference) , 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 .
  • When a elevator accelerates down , the weight recorded is less than the actual weight .

From the Free body diagram ,

\sf\longrightarrow Weight = mg - ma \\

\sf\longrightarrow Weight = m ( g - a ) \\

  • Mass of the man = 64.2 kg

\sf\longrightarrow Weight = 64.2( 9.8 - 3.36) N\\

\sf\longrightarrow Weight = 64.2 * 6.44 N\\

\sf\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{\bf Weight_{apparent}= 413.44 N }} \\

Answer:

Velocity and speed both are continuously increasing.

Acceleration is constant.

Explanation:

Speed is defined as length of path covered by a body per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity that consist of magnitude only and not direction.

Velocity is defined as the displacement per unit times. Displacement is the shortest distance between the two points. It is a vector quantity and  hence has a direction in the direction of displacement along with its own magnitude.

  • Both velocity and speed have same unit of measure which is meter per second in S.I. During <em>free fall</em> in the absence of any air resistance the velocity and speed both will be having a vertical downward direction with continuously increasing magnitude. Tough we are not concerned about the direction when discussing about speed but here both are equal since the motion is linear.

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of a body which is a vector quantity. For speed we are concerned about instantaneous acceleration since for a short period of time it may have a specific direction.

  • During free fall the acceleration is of a body is equal to the acceleration due to gravity and constant when the height of fall is much lesser than the radius of the earth.

salantis [7]
I would go with salt in ocean water as when you heat it and the water begins to evaporate it will leave the salt behind


Also water in mud as the water would evaporate and leave the mud residue behind

denpristay [2]
Answer= 8m/s

Because total Momentum before= total momentum after

Momentum before (p=mu)
p=(4)(12)= 48
p=2(0)=0
So total momentum before=48

Momentum after (p=mu)
Masses combined —2+4=6kg
p=6u


Mb=Ma
48=6u
u=8m/s
