Capitolo 6, Problema 18c
It takes the elevator in a skyscraper 4.0 s to reach its cruising speed of 10 m/s. A 60 kg passenger gets aboard on the ground floor. What is the passenger's weight after the elevator reaches its cruising speed?
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Step 1: Understand the problem. The passenger's weight is the force exerted by gravity on the passenger. Once the elevator reaches its cruising speed, it is moving at a constant velocity, meaning there is no acceleration. The passenger's weight will be determined solely by the gravitational force acting on them.
Step 2: Recall the formula for weight. Weight is given by the equation: , where is the mass of the passenger and is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth).
Step 3: Substitute the given values into the formula. The mass of the passenger is 60 kg, and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s². The equation becomes: .
Step 4: Note that the elevator's cruising speed does not affect the passenger's weight. Since the elevator is moving at a constant velocity, there is no additional force acting on the passenger due to acceleration. The weight remains the same as calculated using the gravitational force.
Step 5: Perform the multiplication to find the passenger's weight. The result will be in newtons (N), as weight is a force. This step involves calculating .

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Weight
Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as the product of mass and the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s² on Earth). For a 60 kg passenger, the weight can be calculated using the formula W = m * g, where W is weight, m is mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Torque Due to Weight
Equilibrium in Motion
When an object moves at a constant speed in a straight line, it is said to be in a state of dynamic equilibrium. In the case of the elevator reaching its cruising speed, the forces acting on the passenger (weight and normal force from the elevator floor) are balanced, meaning the passenger does not experience any net force or acceleration.

10:13Torque & Equilibrium
Normal Force
The normal force is the support force exerted by a surface perpendicular to the object resting on it. In the context of the elevator, once it reaches cruising speed, the normal force acting on the passenger equals their weight, ensuring that the passenger feels a sensation of weightlessness, but their actual weight remains unchanged at 588 N (60 kg * 9.81 m/s²).
