An elevator has mass 600 kg, not including passengers. The elevator is designed to ascend, at constant speed, a vertical distanc

e of 20.0 m (five floors) in 16.0 s, and it is driven by a motor that can provide up to 40 hp to the elevator. What is the maximum number of passengers that can ride in the elevator? Assume that an average passenger has mass 65.0.

Answer:

The maximum number of passengers that can ride in the elevator are n°= 28 passengers.

Explanation:

P= 40 HP = 29840 W

d= 20m

t= 16s

me= 600kg

mp= 65 kg

g= 9.8 m/s²

v= d/t

v= 1.25 m/s

P=F*v

P/v= F

F= 23872 N

m= F/g

m= 2435.91 kg

m= me + n° * mp

(m - me) / mp = n°

n°≅ 28 passengers

An underground tunnel has two openings, with one opening a few meters higher than the other. If air moves past the higher openin
klasskru [66]

Answer:

There would be a pressure drop in the direction of the higher opening. This will force air to move in from the lower opening and force it to leave through the higher opening. This will create a convectional movement of air, cooling and ventilating the tunnel.

Explanation:

This is in accordance with bernoulli's law of fluid flow which states that the pressure exerted by a moving fluid is lesser than it would exert if it were at rest.

Assuming both graduated cylinders are holding water at room temperature, which cylinder has more thermal energy?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The graduate cylinder with more water has more thermal energy because it is holding more water molecules

Explanation:

Given that the thermal energy of the system is the energy possessed by the system by virtue of the increased motion of the particles by virtue of a transfer  of heat, when the content of the system is heated

The thermal energy, Q is given by the following equation;

Q = Mass, m × The specific heat capacity, C × The change in temperature, ΔT

Given that the graduated cylinder with more water has more mass and therefore, more water molecules, than the cylinder with less water, the cylinder with more water has more thermal energy.

The NASA spacecraft Deep Space I was shut down on December 18, 2001, following a three-year journey to the asteroid Braille and
Basile [38]

Answer:

The mass will be "8.86 lb".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Force

= 70,000 mi/h

Speed

= 7900 mi/h

On applying the Law of momentum, we get

⇒  V_{1}m_{1}=V_{2}m_{2}

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒  70000 = 7900\times mass \ of \ deepspace \ 1

⇒  mass \ of \ deepspace \ 1 = \frac{70000}{7900}

⇒                                    =8.86 \ lb

Now consider θc, the angle at which the blue refracted ray hits the bottom surface of the diamond. If θc is larger than the crit
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Complete Question:

A beam of white light is incident on the surface of a diamond at an angle \theta_{a},  since the index of refraction depends on the light's wavelength, the different colors that comprise white light will spread out as they pass through the diamond. For example, the indices of refraction in diamond are n_{red} = 2.410 for red light and n_{blue} = 2.450 for blue light. Thus, blue light and red light are refracted at different angles inside the diamond. The surrounding air has n_{air} = 1.000.

Now consider θc, the angle at which the blue refracted ray hits the bottom surface of the diamond. If θc is larger than the critical angle θcrit, the light will not be refracted out into the air, but instead it will be totally internally reflected back into the diamond. Find θcrit. Express your answer in degrees to four significant figures.

Answer:

\theta_{crit} = 24.09^{0}

Explanation:

Only the blue refracted ray is related to the critical angle in this question

n_{air} = 1.000

n_{blue} = 2.450

The relationship between the critical angle(\theta_{crit}), n_{air} and n_{blue} can be given as sin \theta_{crit} = \frac{n_{air} }{n_{blue} }

sin \theta_{crit} = \frac{1 }{2.450 }\\\theta_{crit} = sin^{-1} \frac{1 }{2.450 }\\\theta_{crit} = sin^{-1} 0.4082^{0}\\  \theta_{crit} = 24.09^{0}

A heavy frog and a light frog jump straight up into the air. They push off in such away that they both have the same kinetic ene
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The lighter frog goes higher than the heavier frog.

The lighter frog is moving faster than the heavier frog

Explanation:

If both frogs have the same kinetic energy when they leave the ground, the following equality applies:

K(light) = K(heavy) = \frac{1}{2} *ml*vol^{2} = \frac{1}{2}*mh*voh^{2}

Now, if the only force acting on the frogs is gravity, when they reach to the maximum height, we can apply the following kinematic equation:

vf^{2} -vo^{2} = 2*a*hmax = vf^{2} -vo^{2} = 2*(-g)*hmax

When h= hmax, the object comes momentarily to an stop, so vf =0

Solving for hmax:

hmax =\frac{vo^{2} }{2*g}

As the lighter frog, in order to have the same kinetic energy than the heavier one, has a greater initial velocity, it will go higher than the other.

As a consequence of both having the same kinetic energy, the lighter frog will be moving faster than the heavier frog.
