A person with a mass of 60 kg stands on a scale in an elevator. What will the scale read (apparent weight or normal force) when the elevator is accelerating downward at 1 m/s2?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

660 N

Explanation:

From the question,

When an Elevator moves downward,

R = m(g+a).................. Equation 1

Where R = apparent weight of the person, m = mass of the person, g = accleration due to gravity, a = acceleration of the elevator

Given: m = 60 kg, g = 10 m/s², a = 1 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

R = 60(10+1)

R = 60(11)

R = 660 N.

Hence the apparent weight of the person is 660 N

Explanation:

The Great Sandini is a 60 kg circus performer who is shot from a cannon (actually a spring gun). You don't find many men of his caliber, so you help him design a new gun. This new gun has a very large spring with a very small mass and a force constant of 1300 N/m that he will compress with a force of 6500 N. The inside of the gun barrel is coated with Teflon, so the average friction force will be only 50 N during the 5.0 mm he moves in the barrel.

Required:
At what speed will he emerge from the end of the barrel, 2.5 mabove his initial rest position?

Answers

Answer:

How far (in km) did the wind blow him while he was sleeping?

Answers

Answer:

    d₃ = 37,729 km,     θ=  5.1º North of West

Explanation:

This is a velocity addition problem, the easiest way to solve it is to decompose the velocities in a Cartesian system, the x-axis coincides with the West-East direction and the y-axis with the South-North direction

* first displacement is

           d₁ₓ = 11 km

* second offset is

          cos 6 = d₂ₓ / d₂

          sin 6 = d_{2y} / d₂

          d₂ₓ = d₂ cos 6

          d_{2y} = d₂ sin 6

          d₂ₓ = 6 cos 6 = 5.967 km

          d_{2y} = 6 sin 6 = 0.6272 km

* third displacement is unknown

* fourth and last displacement

          cos (-11) = d₄ₓ / d₄

          sin (-11) = d_{4y} / d₄

          d₄ₓ = d₄ cos (-11)

          d_{4y} = d₄ sin (-11)

          d₄ₓ = 21 cos (-11) = 20.61 km

          d_{4y} = 21 sin (-11) = -4.007 km

They tell us that at the end of the tour you are back on the island, so the displacement must be zero

X axis

           x = d₁ₓ + d₂ₓ + d₃ₓ + d₄ₓ

           0 = 11 +5.967 + d₃ₓ + 20.61

           d₃ₓ = -11 - 5.967 - 20.61

           d₃ₓ = -37.577 km

Y axis  

          y = d_{1y} + d_{2y} + d_{3y} + d_{4y}

          0 = 0 + 0.6272 + d_{3y} -4.007

          d_{3y} = 4.007 - 0.6272

          d_{3y} = 3.3798 km

This distance can be given in the form of module and angle

Let's use the Pythagorean theorem for the module

           d₃ = [tex]\sqrt{d_{3x}^2 + d_{3y}^2}[/tex]

           d₃ = [tex]\sqrt{37.577^2 + 3.3798^2}[/tex]

           d₃ = 37,729 km

Let's use trigonometry for the angle

            tan θ = d_{3y} / d₃ₓ

            θ = tan⁻¹ [tex]\frac{d_{3y}}{d_{3x}}[/tex]

            θ = tan-1 (-3.3798 / 37.577)

            θ = 5.1º

Since the y coordinate is positive and the x coordinate is negative, this angle is in the second quadrant, so the direction given in the form of cardinal coordinates is

            θ=  5.1º North of West

b) Is the resistive force a conservative force? explain.

The resistive force is not a conservative force since the work done during the round trip is not zero

Explanation:

The worf done on object y a constant force F is given by:

W= (F  cos ∅)S

Where S is the displacement and ∅ is the angle between the force and the displacement.

The displacement of the bicycle during each part of the trip is s=5000m and teh magnitude of teh resistance force is F=3.0N

W1=-15.O kJ

W=W1+W2

W=-30kJ

The resistive force is not a conservative force since the work done during the round trip is not zero

(a) The work done by the resistive force is 15,000 J

(b) The work done the resistive force is non-conservative since the resultant resistive force in not zero.

Work done

Work is said to be when an applied force displaces an object from its initial position.

Work done by resistive force

The work done by the resistive force is calculated as follows;

W = FΔr

Which of the following would MOST likely slow Earth's tectonic activity?
O A. Earth's crust becomes cooler.
O B. Earth's mantle becomes warmer.
O C. Earth's mantle becomes cooler.
O D. Earth's outer core becomes warmer.

Answers

The Answer to your question is:

A.

The Earth's tectonic activity occurs by the movement of the fourteen main tectonic plates of the planet, which move over the mantle continuously, and result in the formation of mountains, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic activities, etc.

The decrease in the Earth's tectonic activity would therefore occur if the Earth's mantle became cooler, as the tectonic plates move over the magma, which is a paste formed by silicate of iron and magnesium and whose temperature reaches 600° and 1,200° Celsius , driven by forces from inside the planet.

Therefore the letter C is correct, as with the Earth's mantle cooler, the magma would become more solid which would decrease the Earth's tectonic activity.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity=frequency × wavelength

frequency=speed/wavelength

frequency=3.5÷4

=0.875~0.88

The frequency of the waves is (d) 0.88 Hz. So, correct answer is option (d).

What is frequency of wave?

The frequency of a sinusoidal wave is the number of full oscillations performed by any wave constituent in a unit of time. According to the definition of frequency, if a body is moving periodically, it has completed one cycle after going through a number of situations or postures and then returning to its initial position. Therefore, frequency is a quantity that describes the rate of oscillation and vibration.

Given parameter,

Velocity of the waves = 3.5 m/s.

distance between the crests of each wave, that is, wavelength of the waves = 4 m.

We know that, for a wave transmission,

velocity of wave =frequency of wave  × wavelength of wave

frequency of wave=speed of wave/wavelength of wave

frequency of wave =3.5 m/s ÷4m

=0.875 Hz

≈ 0.88 Hz

Hence, the frequency of the waves is 0.88 Hz.

Answers

This question is incomplete, the missing diagram is uploaded along this Answer below.

Answer:

a) the work done on the cart by the spring is 4.875 lb-ft

b) the work done on the cart by its weight is - 3.935 lb-ft

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

(a) determine the work done on the cart by the spring

we calculate the work done on the cart by the spring as follows;

[tex]W_{spring}[/tex] = 1/2×k( [tex]x^{2} _{1}[/tex] - [tex]x^{2} _{2}[/tex] )

where k is spring constant ( 3 lb/in )

we substitute  

[tex]W_{spring}[/tex] = 1/2 × 3( (-8)² - (5)² )      

[tex]W_{spring}[/tex] = 1/2 × 3( 64 - 25 )

[tex]W_{spring}[/tex] = 1/2 × 3( 39 )

[tex]W_{spring}[/tex] = 58.5 lb-in

we convert to pound force-foot

[tex]W_{spring}[/tex] = 58.5 × 0.0833333 lb-ft

[tex]W_{spring}[/tex] = 4.875 lb-ft

Therefore, the work done on the cart by the spring is 4.875 lb-ft

b) the work done on the cart by its weight

work done by its weight;

[tex]W_{gravity}[/tex] = -mgsin∅( x₂ - x₁ )        

we substitute in of values from the image below;

[tex]W_{gravity}[/tex] = -14 × sin(15°)( 5 - (-8) )  

[tex]W_{gravity}[/tex] = -14 × 0.2588 × 13

[tex]W_{gravity}[/tex] = -47.1  lb-in

we convert to pound force-foot

[tex]W_{gravity}[/tex] = -47.1 × 0.0833333 lb-ft

[tex]W_{gravity}[/tex] = - 3.935 lb-ft

Therefore, the work done on the cart by its weight is - 3.935 lb-ft

a) the work done on the cart by the spring is 4.875 lb-ft.

b) the work done on the cart by its weight is - 3.935 lb-ft.

Calculation of the work done:

a. The work done on the cart by the spring is

= 1/2 × 3( (-8)² - (5)² )      

= 1/2 × 3( 64 - 25 )

= 1/2 × 3( 39 )

= 58.5 lb-in

Now we have to convert to pound force-foot

So,

= 58.5 × 0.0833333 lb-ft

= 4.875 lb-ft

b) Now

work done by its weight;

= -mgsin∅( x₂ - x₁ )        

So,

= -14 × sin(15°)( 5 - (-8) )  

= -14 × 0.2588 × 13

= -47.1  lb-in

Now we convert to pound force-foot

= -47.1 × 0.0833333 lb-ft

= - 3.935 lb-ft

The work is calculated by replacing pressure with nRT/V then pulling nRT outside the integral. We are only allowed to pull T outside the integral in that example because:

a. we are always allowed to pull T outside a volume integral
b. T is constant for an isothermal process
c. it's an expansion not a compression
d. T has a positive value in that problem

Answers

Answer: b. T is constant for an isothermal process

Explanation:

In a general case for an ideal gas, we have the relation:

dW = -pdV.

If we integrate in both sides, we get:

W = ∫-pdV

Now, as the problem says, we can replace p by n*R*T/V

This is because of the equation for ideal gases.

p = n*R*T/V

replacing that in the equation we get

W = -∫pdV = -∫(n*R*T/V)dV

Now we want to take the n*R*T part outside of the integral.

But we only could do this if T does not depend on V.

If T is cosntant, then T does not depend on V, and we know that T is constant when we are in an isothermal process.

Where an isothermal process is a process where the temperature does not change, then T = constant.

Then n*R*T = constant = k

Because this is a constant, we could take it out of the integral so we get:

W = -∫(n*R*T/V)dV ) = -(n*R*T)∫(1/V)*dV

Then the correct option is option b.

b. T is constant for an isothermal process

[tex]R=(\dfrac{1.32}{1-h}-0.79)\dfrac{l}{\pi r^2}\\\Rightarrow h=1-\dfrac{1.32}{\dfrac{R\pi r^2}{l}+0.79}\\\Rightarrow h=1-\dfrac{1.32}{\dfrac{198\times \pi\times (0.45\times 10^{-2})^2}{0.01}+0.79}\\\Rightarrow h=0.35598[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation:

Standing at a crosswalk, you hear a frequency of 530 Hz from the siren of an approaching ambulance. After the ambulance passes, the observed frequency of the siren is 424 Hz. Determine the ambulance's speed from these observations.

Answers

Answer:

_s = 37.77 m / s

Explanation:

This is an exercise of the Doppler effect that the change in the frequency of the sound due to the relative speed of the source and the observer, in this case the observer is still and the source is the one that moves closer to the observer, for which relation that describes the process is

                    f ’= f₀  [tex]\frac{v}{v - v_s}[/tex]

where d ’= 530 Make

when the ambulance passes away from the observer the relationship is

                    f ’’ = f₀ [tex]\frac{v}{v + v_s}[/tex]

where d ’’ = 424 beam

let's write the two expressions

               f ’ (v-v_s) = fo v

               f ’’  (v + v_s) = fo v

let's solve the system, subtract the two equations

                v (f ’- f’ ’) - v_s (f’ + f ’’) = 0

                v_s = v [tex]\frac{ f' - f''}{ f' + f''}[/tex]

the speed of sound is v = 340 m / s

let's calculate

                 v_s = 340 [tex](\frac{ 530 -424}{530+424} )[/tex]

                 v_s = 340 [tex](\frac{106}{954}[/tex])

                  v_s = 37.77 m / s
