If the same elevator accelerates downwards

Physics
1 answer:
PilotLPTM [1.2K]10 months ago

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.

Compare the relative strengths of the nuclear force and the electric force
Serggg [28]

Answer:

To establish this relationship we must examine the potentials that these forces create. The electrical potential is described by

        Ve = k q / r

The potential for strong nuclear force is

       Vn (r) = - gs / 4pir exp (-mrc / h)

Where gs is the stacking constant and r the distance between the nucleons,

We can compare these potentials where the force is derived from the relationship

       E = -dU / dr

       F = q E

Sauron [17]

The density of the nickel was greater than that of the quarter and penny, thus, the results supports the hypothesis.

<h3>What is density of substance?</h3>

The density of a substance is a measure of how tightly-packed the particles of the substance are.

Density is calculated as the ratio of the mass of the substance and the volume of the substance.

  • Density = mass/volume

The hypothesis of the lab to compare the densities of a penny, a nickel, and a quarter is:

  • If the nickel has a greater density than the quarter and penny, then it will have a greater mass to volume ratio. If the nickel has a lower density than the quarter and penny, then it will have a lower mass-to-volume ratio.

The average mass and the average volume of a penny, a nickel, and a quarter are then used to determine the density of each coin.

Based on obtained results, it would be found that the density of the nickel was greater than that of the quarter and penny. Therefore, the results supports the hypothesis.

In conclusion, the density of a substance depends on the mass and the volume.

Which statements describe velocity and acceleration? Check all that apply.
Tom [10]

Velocity is defined by rate of change in the position

which we can also write as

v = \frac{ds}{dt}

while acceleration is defined as rate of change in velocity

a = \frac{dv}{dt}

so acceleration and velocity both are rate of change in position and rate of change in velocity with respect to time respectively

out of all above statement the correct answer must be

<u>Acceleration equals change in velocity divided by time. </u>

Why were epicycles necessary in ptolemy’s model of the universe?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

epicycles were orbits within orbits used to explain discrepancies between expected and observed planetary movement, including the appearance of planets slowing down, speeding up, and moving backward.
