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

A 2.35 kg ball is attached to a ceiling by a3.53 m long string. The height of the room is5.03 m .The acceleration of gravity is
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:-81.29 J

Explanation:

Given

mass of ball m=2.35 kg

Length of string L=3.53 m

height of Room h=5.03 m

Gravitational Potential Energy is given by

P.E.=mgh

where h=distance between datum and object

here Reference is ceiling

therefore h=-3.53 m

Potential Energy of ball w.r.t ceiling

P.E.=2.35\times 9.8\times (-3.53)=-81.29 J

i.e. 81.29 J of Energy is required to lift a ball of mass 2.35 kg to the ceiling

The wavelengths of terrestrial radiation from earth's surface are concentrated in _____.
Lady bird [3.3K]

The wavelengths of terrestrial radiation from earth's surface are concentrated in thermal infrared spectrum.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The wavelengths used in thermal infrared are in the range of micrometer ranging from 8 to 15. Terrestrial radiation is defined as the radiation that is originating from earth due to radioactive materials like uranium, thorium e.t.c.

Increase in terrestrial radiation by the use of radioactive materials will consequently increase global warming as it releases green house gases thereby degrading the quality of earth's atmosphere.
