Answer: A 100-lb child stands on a scale while riding in an elevator. Then, the scale reading approaches to 100lb, while the elevator slows to stop at the lowest floor

Explanation: To find the correct answer, we need to know more about the apparent weight of a body in a lift.

<h3>What is the apparent weight of a body in a lift?</h3>
  • Consider a body of mass m kept on a weighing machine in a lift.
  • The readings on the machine is the force exerted by the body on the machine(action), which is equal to the force exerted by the machine on the body(reaction).
  • The reaction we get as the weight recorded by the machine, and it is called the apparent weight.
<h3>How to solve the question?</h3>
  • Here we have given with the actual weight of the body as 100lbs.
  • This 100lb child is standing on the scale or the weighing machine, when it is riding .
  • During this condition, the acceleration of the lift is towards downward, and thus, a force of ma .
  • There is also<em> mg </em>downwards and a normal reaction in the upward direction.
  • when we equate both the upward force and downward force, we get,

                             ma=mg-N\\N=mg-ma    i.e. during riding the scale reads a weight less than that of actual weight.

  • When the lift goes slow and stops the lowest floor, then the acceleration will be approaches to zero.

Thus, from the above explanation, it is clear that ,when the elevator moves to the lowest floor slowly and stops, then the apparent weight will become the actual weight.

You and a partner sit on the floor and stretch out a coiled spring to a length of 7.2 meters. You shake the coil so you
vekshin1

Answer:

Approximately 5.9\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} (assuming that the partner is holding the other end of the coil stationary.)

Explanation:

In a standing wave, an antinode is a point that moves with maximal amplitude, while a node is a point that does not move at all. There is an antinode between every two adjacent nodes. Likewise, there is a node between every two adjacent antinodes.

The side of the spring that is being shaken moving with maximal amplitude. Hence, that point on this spring would also be an antinode. In contrast, the side of the spring that is held still (does not move at all) would be a node.

There would be a node between:

  • the antinode at the end of the spring that is being shaken, and
  • the antinode between the two ends of this spring.

Overall, the nodes and antinodes on this spring would be:

  • node at the end that is being held still,
  • antinode (as mentioned in the question),
  • node (inferred, not mentioned in the question), and
  • antinode at the end that is being shaken.

The distance between two adjacent nodes is equal to one-half (that is, (1/2)) the wavelength of the wave. The distance between a node and an adjacent antinode is one-quarter (that is, (1/4)) of the wavelength of the wave.

Thus, if the wavelength of the wave in this question is \lambda, the length of this spring would be:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, \lambda + \frac{1}{4}\, \lambda = \frac{3}{4}\, \lambda.

The question states that the length of this coiled spring is 7.2\; {\rm m}. In other words, (3/4) \, \lambda = 7.2\; {\rm m}. The wavelength of this wave would be (7.2\; {\rm m}) / (3/4) = 9.6\; {\rm m}.

The frequency f of this wave is the number of cycles in unit time:

\begin{aligned} f &= \frac{10}{16.3\; {\rm s}} \approx 0.613\; {\rm s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

Hence, the speed v of this wave would be:

\begin{aligned} v &= \lambda\, f \\ &=9.6\; {\rm m} \times 0.613\; {\rm s^{-1}} \\ &\approx 5.9\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

What did the asymptote say to the removable discontinuity worksheet answers?
ra1l [238]

“Don't hand that holier than thou line to me” is what the asymptote said to the removable discontinuity.

 

 

The distance between the curve and the line where it approaches zero as they tend to infinity is the line in the asymptote of a curve. This is unusual for modern authors but in some sources the requirement that the curve may not cross the line infinitely often is included.

 

The point that does not fit the rest of the graph or is undefined is called a removable discontinuity. By filling in a single point, the removable discontinuity can be made connected.
