If the same elevator accelerates downwards

Physics

6 0

The upward force exerted by the elevator floor on the passenger is 7.6 times mass of the passenger.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

A force in physics is an effect that has the power to alter an object's motion. An object with mass can change its velocity, or accelerate, as a result of a force. An obvious way to describe force is as a push or a pull. A force is a vector quantity since it has both magnitude and direction.

Given in question elevator accelerates downwards with an acceleration of 1.2 m/s². There is acceleration due to gravity working downward which is 9.8 m/s².

So, net acceleration due to gravity is given as 9.8 - 1.2 = 7.6 m/s²

The upward force exerted by the elevator floor on the passenger is mass times acceleration, 7.6 times mass of passenger.

The gravitational force of attraction between two students sitting at their desks in physics class is 2.59 × 10−8 N. If one stud

<h2>The distance between students is 2.46 m</h2>

Explanation:

The force of attraction due to Newton's gravitation law is

F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Here G is the gravitational constant

m₁ is the mass of one student

m₂ is the mass of second student .

and r is the distance between them

Thus r = \sqrt{\frac{Gm_1m_2}{F} }

If we substitute the values in the above equation

r = \sqrt{\frac{6.673x10^-^1^1x31.9x30.0}{2.59x10^-^8} }

= 2.46 m

A speeding Thunderbird left skid marks on the road that were 76.7 m long when it came to a stop. If the acceleration of the car
FrozenT [24]

Answer: 39.2 m/s

Explanation:

You can use the kinematic equation:

v_f^2=v_i^2+2a*d

We know the final velocity because it says it came to a stop. So now all we gotta do is plug in.

0^2=v_i^2+2(-10)(76.7)\\v_i^2=1,534\\v_i=\sqrt{1534} \\=39.166 m/s

A 6.0 m section of wire carries a current of 5.2 A from east to west in the earth's magnetic field of 1.0 × 105 T at a location
NNADVOKAT [17]
Well, since you only want direction, ignore the numbers. Use the right hand rule.
Current (pointer finger) points west (left). 
Magnetic field (middle finger) points south (towards you). 
Force (thumb) then points up (away from the earth)

calculate the mass of potassium chlorate (kcio3) required to obtain 10g of oxygen in the following reaction:kclO3-kcl+O2​
igor_vitrenko [27]

First, balance the reaction:

_ KClO₃   ==>   _ KCl + _ O₂

As is, there are 3 O's on the left and 2 O's on the right, so there needs to be a 2:3 ratio of KClO₃ to O₂. Then there are 2 K's and 2 Cl's among the reactants, so we have a 1:1 ratio of KClO₃ to KCl :

2 KClO₃   ==>   2 KCl + 3 O₂

Since we start with a known quantity of O₂, let's divide each coefficient by 3.

2/3 KClO₃   ==>   2/3 KCl + O₂

Next, look up the molar masses of each element involved:

• K: 39.0983 g/mol

• Cl: 35.453 g/mol

• O: 15.999 g/mol

Convert 10 g of O₂ to moles:

(10 g) / (31.998 g/mol) ≈ 0.31252 mol

The balanced reaction shows that we need 2/3 mol KClO₃ for every mole of O₂. So to produce 10 g of O₂, we need

(2/3 (mol KClO₃)/(mol O₂)) × (0.31252 mol O₂) ≈ 0.20835 mol KClO₃

KClO₃ has a total molar mass of about 122.549 g/mol. Then the reaction requires a mass of

(0.20835 mol) × (122.549 g/mol) ≈ 25.532 g

of KClO₃.
