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.

Why do things become hot or cold?<br> Relate to Thermal Energy and The Law of Conservation of Energy
Mekhanik [1.2K]

<u>Answer:</u>

Things become hot and cold because of the transfer of energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The energy possessed by an object or system is called thermal energy and heat is the flow of this energy. While the law of conversation of energy states that energy is not destroyed or created, it just transfers from one object to another.  

When a hot object is placed in normal conditions, it transfers heat to the environment until both are at the same temperature and heat transfers from the environment to the cold objects placed in normal conditions.

Which of the rolling statement is not true about proper tire care? A. If you see a weaver bar across the width of the tread. B.
skad [1K]
The correct answer should be <span>A. If you see a wear bar across the width of the tread, it's time to change the tire

This is an incorrect sentence because you should change a tire before you see the wear bar. At the time you see the bar, you should've already changed it. </span>

How is the earth changing??? How would you answer this question at this point???

Scientists have been observing Earth for a long time. They use NASA satellites and other instruments to collect many types of information about Earth's land, atmosphere, ocean and ice. This information tells us that Earth's climate is getting warmer.


Extra:

Extra greenhouse gases in our atmosphere are the main reason that Earth is getting warmer. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane, trap the Sun's heat in Earth's atmosphere.

It's normal for there to be some greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. They help keep Earth warm enough to live on. But too many greenhouse gases can cause too much warming.

The burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil increase the amount of CO2 in our air. This happens because the burning process combines carbon with oxygen in the air to make CO2.

It's important that we monitor CO2 levels, because too much CO2 can cause too much warming on Earth. Several NASA missions have instruments that study CO2 in the atmosphere.
