Acave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. the lift is performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 10.0 m. (1) first, the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 4.40 m/s. (2) then he is then lifted at the constant speed of 4.40 m/s. (3) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. how much work is done on the 78.0 kg rescuee by the force lifting him during each stage? work done on rescuee during stage (1) kj work done on rescuee during stage (2) kj work done on rescuee during stage (3) kj

(1) 8408 J = 8.4 kJ

We need to find the acceleration of the spelunker first, through the equation:

v^2-u^2=2ad

where

v = 4.40 m/s is the final speed

u = 0 is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

d = 10.0 m is the distance

Solving the equation for a, we find

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{(4.40 m/s)^2-0}{2(10.0 m)}=0.97 m/s^2$

In order to find the magnitude of force F used to lift the spelunker, we have to apply Newton's second law:

$\sum F = ma\\F - mg = ma$

where (mg) is the weight of the spelunker, and a = 0.97 m/s^2. Solving for F, we find

F=m(g+a)=(78.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2+0.97 m/s^2)=840.8 N

And so, the work done by the force during this stage is

W=Fd=(840.8 N)(10.0 m)=8408 J

(2) 7644 J = 7.6 kJ

The work done on the spelunker in this stage is

W=Fd

where F is the force applied on the spelunker to lift him, and d = 10.0 m is the vertical distance through which the spelunker is lifted.

In order to find the magnitude of F, we have to apply Newton's second law:

$\sum F = ma\\F - mg = ma$

where (mg) is the weight of the spelunker, and the acceleration is zero because he is moving at constant speed: so, a=0, and the equation becomes

$F-mg=0\\F=mg=(78.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=764.4 N$

So, the work done is

W=(764.4 N)(10.0 m)=7644 J

3) 6895 J = 6.9 kJ

This stage is similar to stage (1); we find the deceleration using:

v^2-u^2=2ad

where

v = 0 m/s is the final speed

u = 4.40 is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

d = 10.0 m is the distance

Solving the equation for a, we find

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0-(4.40 m/s)^2}{2(10.0 m)}=-0.97 m/s^2$

In order to find the magnitude of force F used to lift the spelunker, we have to apply Newton's second law:

$\sum F = ma\\F - mg = ma$

where (mg) is the weight of the spelunker, and a = -0.97 m/s^2. Solving for F, we find

F=m(g+a)=(78.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2-0.97 m/s^2)=689.5 N

And so, the work done by the force during this stage is

W=Fd=(689.5 N)(10.0 m)=6895 J

in simple terms, the principle states that the buoyancy force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume times the gravitational acceleration, g. this is also known as upthrust.

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 152 ft, then climbs 137 ft at an angle of 34.0° above the horizontal. it then moves 137 ft at an angle of 48.0° below the horizontal. if we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)
