A 66-kg fellow stands on a digital scale in an elevator that accelerates upwards from rest to 4.5 m/s in 2.00 s. show answer Inc

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of the fellow ( m ) = 66kg

acceleration of fellow a

v = u + at

4.5 = 0 + a x 2

a = 4.5 /2

= 2.25 m / s²

Net force acting on fellow in upward direction by the surface of elevator

R - mg where R is reaction force of the surface of the elevator

Applying Newton's law of motion

R - mg = ma

R = m (g +a )

= 66 x ( 9.8 + 2 )

= 778.8 N

This will be the scale reading .

A 26.0 kg beam is attached to a wall with a hinge while its far end is supported by a cable such that the beam is horizontal. If

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Force exerted by the hinge on the beam = 109.24N

Explanation:

Weight = mg = 26 x 9.81 = 255.06 N

Vertical component = T sin θ

Horizontal component = Tcos θ

Now, there are 3 vertical forces acting on the beam. These are;

- The downward force which is the weight of the beam.

- The vertical components of the tension in the cable.

-The force that hinge exerts on the beam are the upward forces.

Hence, for the beam to remain horizontal, the sum of the upward forces must be equal to the weight of the beam.

For us to determine the vertical component of the tension in the cable, we will do a torque problem. Let the pivot point be at the hinge. Let’s assume that the length of the beam is L. The vertical component of the tension in the cable will produce clockwise torque while the weight of the beam will produce counter clockwise torque.

Tbus;

Clockwise torque = TL sin 61

Since the center of mass of beam is at the middle of the beam, the distance from the hinge to the weight of the beam is L/2.

Counter clockwise torque = WL/2

Thus;

TL sin 61 = WL/2

L will cancel out.

T sin 61 = 255.06/2

T x 0.8746 = 127.53

T = 127.53/0.8746 = 145.82 N

Now, the equation to determine the vertical component of the force that the hinge exerts on the beam is given as;

T + F = W

Thus;

145.82 + F = 255.06

F = 255.06 - 145.82 = 109.24 N

An experimental apparatus has two parallel horizontal metal rails separated by 1.0 m. A 3.0 Ω resistor is connected from the lef

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The induced current and the power dissipated through the resistor are 0.5 mA and $7.5\times10^{-7}\ Watt$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 1.0 m

Resistance = 3.0 Ω

Speed = 35 m/s

Angle = 53°

Magnetic field $B=5.0\times10^{-5}\ T$

(a). We need to calculate the induced emf

Using formula of emf

$E = Blv\sin\theta$

Where, B = magnetic field

l = length

v = velocity

Put the value into the formula

$E=5.0\times10^{-5}\times1.0\times35\sin53^{\circ}$

$E=1.398\times10^{-3}\ V$

We need to calculate the induced current

$E =IR$

$I=\dfrac{E}{R}$

Put the value into the formula

$I=\dfrac{1.398\times10^{-3}}{3.0}$

$I=0.5\ mA$

(b). We need to calculate the power dissipated through the resistor

Using formula of power

$P=I^2 R$

Put the value into the formula

$P=(0.5\times10^{-3})^2\times3.0$

$P=7.5\times10^{-7}\ Watt$

Hence, The induced current and the power dissipated through the resistor are 0.5 mA and $7.5\times10^{-7}\ Watt$ .

Answer:

0.07°C

Explanation:

<u>solution:</u>

the speed of a sound in water is<u>:</u>

v(T)=1480+4(T-4°C)

<u>at 4°C the travel time is:</u>

t(4◦C) = ( 7600 × 103 m ) / (1480 m/s) = 5202.7 s

<u>5°C, the travel time is:</u>

t(5◦C) = ( 7600 × 103 m ) / (1484 m/s) = 5188.7 s

<u>one degree C corresponds to a ∆t of 14 s so temperature difference is:</u>

ΔT=1 s/14 s=0.07◦C
