A man weighs himself twice in an elevator. When the elevator is at rest, he weighs 824 N; when the elevator starts moving upward, he weighs 932 N. Most nearly how fast is the elevator accelerating, assuming constant acceleration?

a. 0.64 m/s
b. 1.1 m/s^2
c. 1.3 m/s
d. 9.8 m/s^2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: c. 1.3 m/s^2

Explanation:

When he is at rest, is weight can be calculated as:

W = g*m

where:

m = mass of the man

g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

We know that at rest his weight is W = 824N, then we have:

824N = m*9.8m/s^2

824N/(9.8m/s^2) = m = 84.1 kg

Now, when the elevators moves up with an acceleration a, the acceleration that the man inside fells down is g + a.

Then the new weight is calculated as:

W = m*(g + a)

and we know that in this case:

W = 932N

g = 9.8m/s^2

m = 84.1 kg

Then we can find the value of a if we solve:

932N = 84.1kg*(9.8m/s^2 + a)

932N/84.1kg = 11.1 m/s^2 = 9.8m/s^2 + a

11.1 m/s^2 - 9.8m/s^2 = a = 1.3 m/s^2

The correct option is C

Define friction. Prove that tangent of angle of friction is equal to coefficient
of friction.​

Answers

Answer:

Friction is the force that opposes movement between moving objects.

The angle at which one object starts to slip on the other is directly related to the coefficient. When the two objects are horizontal there is no frictional force. So, the coefficient of static friction is equal to the tangent of the angle at which the objects slide. A similar method can be used to measure μk.

a ball of diameter 10 cm and mass 10 grams is dropped in a container of water. the cross sectional area of the container is 100 cm2.. what is the change in the height of the water column

Answers

Answer:

h = 9.83 cm

Explanation:

Let's analyze this interesting exercise a bit, let's start by comparing the density of the ball with that of water

       

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

         r = 10 cm = 0.10 m

         m = 10 g = 0.010 kg

         A = 100 cm² = 0.01 m²

the definition of density is

          ρ = m / V

the volume of a sphere

         V = [tex]\frac{4}{3} \ \pi r^{3}[/tex]

          V = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] π 0.1³

          V = 4.189 10⁻³ m³

let's calculate the density of the ball

           ρ = [tex]\frac{0.010}{4.189 \ 10^{-3} }[/tex]

           ρ = 2.387 kg / m³

the tabulated density of water is

         ρ_water = 997 kg / m³

we can see that the density of the body is less than the density of water. Consequently the body floats in the water, therefore the water level that rises corresponds to the submerged part of the body. Let's write the equilibrium equation

            B - W = 0

            B = W

             

where B is the thrust that is given by Archimedes' principle

           ρ_liquid  g V_submerged = m g

           V_submerged = m / ρ_liquid

we calculate

            V _submerged = 0.10 9.8 / 997

             V_submerged = 9.83 10⁻⁴ m³

The volume increassed of the water container

           V = A h

            h = V / A

let's calculate

            h = 9.83 10⁻⁴ / 0.01

            h = 0.0983  m

this is equal to h = 9.83 cm

An automobile which set the world record for acceleration increase speed from rest to 96 km/h in 3.07 seconds what distance traveled by the time the final speed was achieved

Answers

Answer:

41.02m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Final velocity  = 96km/hr

Time taken  = 3.07s

Unknown:

Distance traveled by the time the final speed was achieved = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we first find the acceleration of the car;

     Acceleration  = [tex]\frac{v - u }{t}[/tex]

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

  Now convert the the final velocity to m/s;

          96km/hr to m/s;

               1 km/hr  = 0.278m/s

               96km/hr  = 96 x 0.278 = 26.7m/s

Now;

 Acceleration  = [tex]\frac{26.7 - 0}{3.07}[/tex]   = 8.69m/s²

So;

   v²  = u²  + 2as

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

             26.7²  = 0²  + 2 x 8.69 x s

             712.89  = 17.38s

                  s  = 41.02m

A(n) 636 kg elevator starts from rest. It moves upward for 4.5 s with a constant acceleration until it reaches its cruising speed of 2.05 m/s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Find the average power delivered by the elevator motor during this period. Answer in units of kW.

Answers

Answer:

The average power delivered by the elevator motor during this period is 6.686 kW.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the elevator, m = 636 kg

initial speed of the elevator, u = 0

time of motion, t = 4.5 s

final speed of the elevator, v = 2.05 m/s

The upward force of the elevator is calculated as;

F = m(a + g)

where;

m is mass of the elevator

a is the constant acceleration of the elevator

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

[tex]a = \frac{v-u}{t} \\\\a = \frac{2.05 -0}{4.5} \\\\a = 0.456 \ m/s^2[/tex]

F = (636)(0.456 + 9.8)

F = (636)(10.256)

F = 6522.816 N

The average power delivered by the elevator is calculated as;

[tex]P_{avg} = \frac{1}{2} (Fv)\\\\P_{avg} = \frac{1}{2} (6522.816 \ \times \ 2.05)\\\\P_{avg} = 6685.89 \ W\\\\P_{avg} = 6.68589 \ kW\\\\P_{avg} = 6.686 \ k W[/tex]

Therefore, the average power delivered by the elevator motor during this period is 6.686 kW.

Q2. You push a crate up a ramp with a force of 10 N. Despite your pushing, the crate slides down the ramp 4 m. How much work did you do

Answers

Answer:

40 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force (F) = 10 N

Distance (s) = 4 m

Workdone (Wd) =?

Work done is simply defined as the product of force and distance moved in the direction of the force. Mathematically, we can express the Workdone as:

Workdone = force × distance

Wd = F × s

With the above formula, we can obtain the workdone as follow:

Force (F) = 10 N

Distance (s) = 4 m

Workdone (Wd) =?

Wd = F × s

Wd = 10 × 4

Wd = 40 J

Thus, 40 J of work was done.

If at some point in time an object has zero velocity and zero acceleration, what does that mean about its motion at the next instant

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Usually, when an object possesses 0 velocity, then the object is expected to be at rest. But like the popular saying, there's always an exception to every rule. There exists cases in which an object isn't at rest, but possesses 0 speed or velocity. Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time, the acceleration becomes negative, instead of positive.

Again, when the acceleration becomes zero, it means that the object isn't moving or it has no speed. And thus, the body is at rest. Every moving body as an acceleration, either positive, or negative. Zero acceleration means the object is at rest, and not moving at all.

Please leave a like if it helped you

At any point in time, when

when the acceleration becomes zero, it means that the object isn't moving or it has no speed. And thus, the body is at rest.

What is acceleration?

Acceleration is defined as the change of the velocity with the time. Acceleration is a vector quantity and is defined by both the magnitude and the direction

when the acceleration becomes zero, it means that the object isn't moving or it has no speed. And thus, the body is at rest. Every moving body as an acceleration, either positive, or negative. Zero acceleration means the object is at rest, and not moving at all.

Now If an object is moving with an acceleration that causes its speed to be reduced, there will be a moment in which it reaches v = 0, but this doesn't necessarily mean that the acceleration isn't acting anymore. If the object continues its movement with the same acceleration, it's velocity will become negative.

If you throw an object in the air with a certain velocity, it will move vertically, reducing its velocity in a 9,8  rate (which is the acceleration caused by gravity). At a certain point, the object will reach its maximum height, and will start to fall. In the exact moment that it reaches the maximum height, before it starts falling, its velocity is zero, but gravity is still acting on the object (this is the reason why it starts falling instead of just being stopped at that point). Therefore, at that point, the object has zero velocity but an acceleration of 9,8 .
