When the elevator moves downward, the man weighs less because of the inertia.
Force of Weight:Fg=m×g
Fs=m×g-m×1/4g=m×(g-1/4g)=m×3/4g
If He Went Up you would have to add 1/4g

For a moon orbiting its planet, rp is the shortest distance between the moon and its planet andra is the longest distance betwee
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: D. 0.57

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the eccentricity e of an ellipse is (assuming the moon's orbit in the shape of an ellipse):

e=\frac{r_{a}-r_{p}}{r_{a}+r_{p}}

Where:

r_{a} is the apoapsis (the longest distance between the moon and its planet)

r_{p}=0.27 r_{a} is the periapsis (the shortest distance between the moon and its planet)

Then:

e=\frac{r_{a}-0.27 r_{a}}{r_{a}+0.27 r_{a}}

e=\frac{0.73 r_{a}}{1.27 r_{a}}

e=0.57 This is the moon's orbital eccentricity

A car traveling 20 m/s to the north collides with a car traveling 10 m/s to the
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: C

Explanation:

In collision, whether elastic or inelastic collisions, momentum is always conserved. That is, the momentum before collision will be equal to the momentum after collision.

Change in momentum of the system will be momentum after collision minus total momentum before collision.

Since momentum is a vector quantity, the direction will also be considered.

Momentum = MV - mU

Let

M = 800 kg is going north

at V = 20 m/s and the other car

m= 800 kg is going south

at U = 10m/s.

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

Momentum = (800 × 20) - (800 × 10)

= 8000 kgm/s

The final momentum after collision will also be equal to 8000 kgm/s

Change in momentum = 8000 - 8000

Change in momentum = 0

How are gamma rays and microwaves similar
kompoz [17]

They are both electromagnetic waves

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic fields. The fields oscillate in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave, so they are transverse waves.

Electromagnetic waves are the only type of waves able to travel in a vacuum. All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum at the same speed, known as the speed of light, equal to:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Electromagnetic waves are divided into 7 different types, depending on their wavelength and frequency. From the shortest to the longest wavelength (and so, from highest to lowest frequency, since frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength), we have:

Gamma rays

X rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

So as we can see, both gamma rays and microwaves are types of electromagnetic waves. The difference between them is their different wavelength/frequency: in fact, the wavelength of gamma rays is extremently short (), while microwaves have longer wavelengths (at the order of the centimeter).
