A 75.0-kg man standing on a bathroom scale in an elevator. Calculate the scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a c
1 answer:
The scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s^2 is 862.5 N.
weight of man = 75kg
speed of elevator, a = 1.5
So, the scale reading in the elevator is greater than his 862.5 N weight. This indicates that the person is being propelled upward by the scale, which it must do in order to do so, with a force larger than his weight. According to what you experience in quickly accelerating or slowly moving elevators, it is obvious that the faster the elevator acceleration, the greater the scale reading.
Speed can be defines as the pace at which the position of an object changes in any direction. Since speed simply has a direction and no magnitude, it is a scalar quantity.

Answer: has wavelengths that are longer than visible light
Explanation: Electromagnetic spectra comprises of different electromagnetic waves which are arranged in order of increasing wavelengths or decreasing energies.
In order from highest to lowest energy, the waves are arranged as: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, and radio waves.
E= energy
h= planck's constant
c= velocity of light
= wavelength
As wavelength and energy are inversely related, the wave having higher wavelengths will be lowest in energy. Thus as infrared radiation have lower energy as compared to visible radiation. Thus infrared radiation have higher wavelength as compared to visible radiation.
