The scale reads the Normal (reaction) force.

a) Upward acceleration

Balance of forces on the scale: Normal - Weight = ma

Normal = 56kg*g
Weight =50*g
ma = 50*a

56*g - 50*g =50*a => a =[ 56*g* - 50*g ] / 50 = 0.12*g =0.12*9.8m/s^2 =

a = 1.176 m/s^2


b) Downward acceleration

Weight - Normal = ma

=> Normal = Weight - m.a

Normal = 50*9.8m/s^2 -  50*1.176m/s^2 = 431.2 N

Scale reading: 431.2 N/ 9.8 N/m = 44 kg.

-5^2 + (-15) ÷ (-3) + 20 Solve using PEMDAS showing work
oee [108]
In PEMDAS, there is no parentheses in this equation, so we move on to exponents.

-5^2 is 25
Now, we divide -15/-3 then we get 5
Next, we do -3+20=17
25+5+17 would be 47

Your answer should be 47!
Hope this helps (:

Abigail tosses a coin off a bridge into the stream below. The distance, in feet, the coin above the water is modeled by the equa
melomori [17]

Answer:

7 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of the coin above the water is modeled by the equation

y=-16x^2+96x+112

where x is time taken to cover the distance

Now equating with zero.

0=-16x^2+96x+112\\\Rightarrow 16x^2-96x-112=0\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{-\left(-96\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-96\right)^2-4\times \:16\left(-112\right)}}{2\times \:16}\\\Rightarrow x=7, -1

So, time taken by the coin to hit the water is 7 seconds.
