An elevator carrying a person of mass m is moving upward and slowing down. How does the magnitude f of the force exerted on the

person by the elevator floor compare with the magnitude mg of the gravitational force?.

The force f of the elevator on the man keeps reducing as the elevator keeps going up while the gravitational force mg keeps increasing moving upwards.

<h3>What is an elevator?</h3>

An elevator is an electrical device that lifts people up and down a tall building or structure.

for the elevator to go up, f > mg.

for the elevator to come down mg > f.

Analysis

since the force on the man is f = ma

where a is the acceleration of the elevator, then it means when a increases,  f will increase and when it decreases, f would decrease. slowing down means a, is decreasing going up and this reduces the force as the elevator keeps going up.

on the other hand, gravity acts faster on bodies that are slower in motion so since g, increases going up, mg would also increase.

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

#_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's calculate the energy of a single quantum of energy, use Planck's law

         E = h f

         c= λ f

         E = h c / λ

          λ= 1000 nm (1 m / 109 nm) = 1000 10⁻⁹ m

Let's calculate

          E₀ = 6.6310⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/1000 10⁻⁹

          E₀ = 19.89 10⁻²⁰ J

This is the energy emitted by a photon let's use a proportions rule to find the number emitted in P = 100 w

                #_photon = P / E₀

               #_photon = 100 / 19.89 10⁻²⁰

              #_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s

Scilla [17]

Answer:

C. Just measure the volume of the container it is in
