The weight of a person increase when the elevator is going up.

<h3>Weight of the person in the elevator</h3>

The weight of the person in the elevator is calculated as follows;

<h3>When the person is going up</h3>

F = ma + mg

F = m(a + g)

where;

  • a is acceleration of the person
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

<h3>When the person is going down</h3>

F = mg - ma

F = m(g - a)

Thus, the weight of a person increase when the elevator is going up.

Air is cooled in a process with constant pressure of 150 kPa. Before the process begins, air has a specific volume of 0.062 m^3/
Mama L [17]

Answer:

The pressure is constant, and it is P = 150kpa.

the specific volumes are:

initial = 0.062 m^3/kg

final = 0.027 m^3/kg.

Then, the specific work can be written as:

W = \int\limits^{vf}_{vi} {Pdv} \, = P(vf - vi) = 150kPa*(0.0027 - 0.062)m^3/kg = -5.25 kPa*m^3/kg.

The fact that the work is negative, means that we need to apply work to the air in order to compress it.

Now, to write it in more common units we have that:

1 kPa*m^3 = 1000J.

-5.25 kPa*m^3/kg = -5250 J/kg.

What body systems help these cells get the energy they need?
MakcuM [25]

The body systems that help cells get the energy they need are the digestive system and circulatory system. The first system is the digestive system because when you eat food, your body breaks it down using the stomach and other different parts of the digestive system.  The next one is the circulatory system because your blood carries the nutrients you acquired from food you digested to the cells throughout your body.

Why is newton's gravitational force called universal gravitational force​
Lelechka [254]
Newton’s law of gravity is considered “universal” because it is believed to be applicable to the entire Universe (to a good approximation). Gravity does not just pull an apple from a tree, but also pulls the Moon to the Earth, the Earth to the Sun, and so on. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature.
