You've always wondered about the acceleration of the elevators in the 101 story high Empire State Building. One day, while visiting New York, you take your bathroom scale into the elevator and stand on it. The scale reads 177 lb as the door closes. As the elevator moves upward the scale reading varies between a minimum value of 138 lb and a maximum value of 227 lb as the elevator travels 101 floors.
a. What is the magnitude of the acceleration as the elevator starts upward?
b. What is the magnitude of the acceleration as the elevator brakes to a stop?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 2.8 m/s2

b) 2.2 m/s2

Explanation:

The lecture on the bathroom scale is equal to the normal force that the scale exerts on you, and is directed upward.There is another force acting on you, which is gravity.This force (which we call weight) is the product of the mass times the acceleration due to gravity, g, and is directed downward, opposite to the normal force.When the elevator  is at rest, no acceleration takes place, so according Newton's 2nd Law, no net force must be exerted on you.In this condition, the normal force Fn₀ must be equal to the weight:[tex]F_{no} = m * g = 177 lb (1)[/tex]Since the normal force takes any value needed to satisfy Newton's 2nd law, the two extreme lectures can be expressed as follows, in terms of  the two forces acting on you while the elevator is moving upward:

       [tex]F_{n1} = m * (g +a_{1}) = 227 lb (2)[/tex]

      [tex]F_{n2} = m * (g +a_{2}) = 138 lb (3)[/tex]

Replacing m by 177lb/g (a given), and rearranging, we can solve (1) for a₁, as follows:

       [tex]a_{1} = (\frac{227lb}{177lb} *g) - g = 0.28*g = 0.28*9.8m/s2 = 2.8 m/s2 (4)[/tex]

As it can be seen, the normal force takes a larger value in order to be compliant with the upward acceleration that opposes to gravity.In the same way, we can find the magnitude of the downward acceleration when the elevator brakes to a stop, from (3):

       [tex]a_{2} = (\frac{138lb}{177lb} *g) - g = -0.22*g =- 0.22*9.8m/s2 = -2.2 m/s2 (5)[/tex]

In this case, the normal force takes a lower value than at rest, due to the acceleration has the same direction as gravity.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]18.18\ \text{m/s}[/tex]

[tex]6.82\ \text{m/s}[/tex]

Explanation:

[tex]m_1[/tex] = Mass of large object = 8 kg

[tex]m_2[/tex] = Mass of smaller object = 3 kg

When large mass is moving

[tex]u_1[/tex] = 25 m/s

[tex]u_2[/tex] = 0

For completely inelastic collision we have the relation

[tex]m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{8\times 25+3\times 0}{8+3}\\\Rightarrow v=18.18\ \text{m/s}[/tex]

Speed of the combined mass when the larger object is moving is [tex]18.18\ \text{m/s}[/tex]

When smaller mass is moving

[tex]u_1[/tex] = 0

[tex]u_2[/tex] = 25 m/s

[tex]v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{8\times 0+3\times 25}{8+3}\\\Rightarrow v=6.82\ \text{m/s}[/tex]

Speed of the combined mass when the smaller object is moving is [tex]6.82\ \text{m/s}[/tex]

Suppose that you changed the area of the bottom surface of the friction cart without changing its mass, by replacing the Teflon slab with one that was smaller but thicker. The contact area would shrink, but the normal force would be the same as before. Would this change the friction force on the sliding cart

Answers

Answer:

in this case the weight of the vehicle does not change , consequently the friction force should not change

Explanation:

The friction force is a macroscopic manifestation of the interactions of the molecules between the two surfaces, this force in the case of solid is expressed by the relation

          fr = μ N

          W-N= 0

          N = W

as in this case the weight of the vehicle does not change nor does the Normal one, consequently the friction force should not change

Answers

Answer:

   ΔT = [tex]\frac{\Delta K}{(m_1+m_2) c_e }[/tex]    

Explanation:

This is an interesting problem, no data is given, so the result is a general expression.

Suppose that the disks are initially rotating with angular velocity w₁ and w₂, as well as that they have radii r₁ and r₂ and masses m₁ and m₂

we start the problem finding odl final angular velocity of the discs together, for this we define a system formed by the two discs, in this case the torques during the collision are internal and the angular momentum is conserved

       

initial instant. Just before the crash

           L₀ = L₁ + L₂

with

           L₁ =  I₁ w₁

the moment of inertia of a disc with an axis passing through its center is

           I₁ = ½ m₁ r₁²

we substitute

           I₀ = ½ m₁ r₁² w₁ + ½ m₂ r₂² w₂

final instant. Right after the crash

         L_f = I w

     

in angular momentum it is a scalar quantity, so it is additive

         I = I₁ + I₂

angular momentum is conserved

         L₀ = L_f

         I₁ w₁ + I₂ w₂ = I w

         w =  [tex]\frac{ I_1 w_1 + I_2 w_2 }{I}[/tex]            (1)

We already have the angular velocities of the system, let's find the kinetic energy of it

initial

          K₀ = K₁ + K₂ = ½ I₁ w₁² + ½ I₂ w₂²

final

          K_f = K = ½ I w²

the variation of the kinetic energy is the loss in the increase of the temperature of the system, they indicate us that we neglect the other possible losses

         ΔK = K_f -K₀

         ΔK = ½ I w² - (½ I₁ w₁² + ½ I₂ w₂²)           (2)

In this chaos we know all the values ​​for which the numerical value of ΔK can be calculated, the symbolic substitution gives expressions with complicated

Now if all this variation of energy turns into heat

         Q = ΔK

         m_{total} c_e ΔT = ΔK

where the specific heat of the bear discs must be known, suppose they are of the same material

         ΔT = [tex]\frac{\Delta K}{(m_1+m_2) c_e }[/tex]               (3)

to make a special case, we suppose some data

the discs have the same mass and radius, disc 2 is initially at rest and the discs are made of bronze that has c_e = 380 J / kg ºC

we look for the angular velocity

          I₁ = I₂ = I₀

          I = 2 I₀

         

we substitute in 1

           w = [tex]\frac{I_o w_1 + I_o 0 }{2I_o}[/tex] I₀ w₁ + I₀ 0 / 2Io

           w = w₁ /2

we look for the variation of the kinetic energy with 2

       

             ΔK = ½ (2I₀) (w₁ /2)² - (½ I₀ w₁² + ½ I₀ 0)

             ΔK = ¼ I₀ w₁² -½ I₀ w₁²

             ΔK = - ¼ I₀ w₁²

the negative sign indicates that the kinetic energy decreases

We look for the change in Temperature with the expression 3

              ΔT = [tex]\frac{ \Delta K}{(m_1 +m_2) c_e}[/tex]ΔK / (m1 + m2) ce

              ΔT = [tex]\frac{ \frac{1}{4} I_o w_1^2 }{ 2m c_e}[/tex]

              ΔT =  [tex]\frac{1}{8} \frac{ (\frac{1}{2} m r_1^2 ) w_1^2 }{ m c_e}[/tex]

              ΔT = [tex]\frac{1}{16} r_1^2 w_1^2 / c_e[/tex]

in this expression all the terms are contained

The increase in internal energy of the disks will be [tex]\rm \triangle E= mc\frac{\triangle k }{(m_1+m_2)c_e}[/tex].

What is internal energy?

The energy contained within a thermodynamic system is known as its internal energy. It's the amount of energy required to build or prepare a system in any given internal state.

The given data in the problem is;

[tex]\rm \omega_1[/tex]  is the angular velocity of  disk 1

[tex]\rm \omega_2[/tex] is the  angular velocity of disk 2

r₁ is the radius of  disk 1

r₂ is the radius of  disk 2

m₁ is the mass of disk 1

m₂ is the mass of disk 2

Momentum before the collision;

[tex]\rm L_1 = I_1 \omega_1[/tex]

The moment of inertia of disc 1

[tex]\rm i_1 = \frac{1}{2} m_1r_1^2[/tex]

The momentum gets conserved;

[tex]\rm L_0 = L_f \\\\ I_1 \omega_1 + I_2\omega_2 = I \omega \\\\ \rm \omega= \frac{I_1 \omega_1 + I_2\omega_2}{I}[/tex]

Calculate the amount of torque of an object being pushed by 6 N force along a circular path of a radius of 1x10^-2 mat 30 degree angle.

Answers

Answer:

The amount of torque is 0.03 N.m.

Explanation:

To find the amount of torque we need to use the following equation:

[tex] \tau = \vec {r} \times \vec{F} = rFsin(\theta) [/tex]   (1)

Where:

r: is the radius = 1x10⁻² m

F: is the force = 6 N

θ: is the angle = 30°

By entering the above values into equation (1) we have:

[tex]\tau = 1 \cdot 10^{-2} m*6 N*sin(30) = 0.03 N.m[/tex]  

Therefore, the amount of torque is 0.03 N.m.

Answers

Answer:

A mass of 10 kilograms lifted 10 meters in 5 seconds.

Explanation:

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

[tex] Power = \frac {Energy}{time} [/tex]

But Energy = mgh

Substituting into the equation, we have

[tex] Power = \frac {mgh}{time} [/tex]

Given the following data;

Mass = 10kg

Height = 10m

Time = 5 seconds

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s²

[tex] Power = \frac {10*9.8*10}{5} = 490 Watts [/tex]

Hence, a mass of 10 kilograms lifted 10 meters in 5 seconds would produce the most power.
