Answer:
The magnitude of the acceleration of the elevator is 0.422 m/s²
Explanation:
Lets explain how to solve the problem
Due to Newton's Law ∑ Forces in direction of motion is equal to mass
multiplied by the acceleration
We have here two forces 460 N in direction of motion and the weight
of the person in opposite direction of motion
The weight of the person is his mass multiplied by the acceleration of
gravity
→ W = mg , where m is the mass and g is the acceleration of gravity
→ m = 45 kg and g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these values in the rule above
→ W = 45 × 9.8 = 441 N
The scale reads 460 N
→ F = 460 N , W = 441 N , m = 45 kg
→ F - W = ma
→ 460 - 441 = 45 a
→ 19 = 45 a
Divide both sides by 45
→ a = 0.422 m/s²
<em>The magnitude of the acceleration of the elevator is 0.422 m/s²</em>
Answer:
29.2 ft/s
Explanation:
The distance of the light's projection on the wall
y = 13 tan θ
where θ is the light's angle from perpendicular to the wall.
The light completes one rotation every 3 seconds, that is, 2π in 3 seconds,
Angular speed = w = (2π/3)
w = (θ/t)
θ = wt = (2πt/3)
(dθ/dt) = (2π/3)
y = 13 tan θ
(dy/dt) = 13 sec² θ (dθ/dt)
(dy/dt) = 13 sec² θ (2π/3)
(dy/dt) = (26π/3) sec² θ
when θ = 15°
(dy/dt) = (26π/3) sec² (15°)
(dy/dt) = 29.2 ft/s
Explanation:
Given that,
A student covered a distance of 210 meters in 35 seconds.
We need to find the student's speed in meters/second and also in meters/minute.
Speed, v = distance (d)/time (t)
So,
We know that, 1 minute = 60 seconds
Hence, the student's speed is 6 m/s or 360 meters/minute.
