down ?
Are you going to weigh less, weigh more or the same?

When moving upwards, the normal force from the weighing scale on the person increases so the weight appears to increase. The opposite holds true when the elevator goes downwards.

Verizon [17]
The whole point of this problem is to check how well you understand
the definitions of a few important quantities, like velocity, speed, distance,
displacement etc.

Before we begin, I just want to mention that 'MPG' is not a unit of either
velocity or speed, but I think I know what you mean.

-- For some reason, Ms. Eaddy rode 100 miles north on the train, then
stayed aboard while the train turned around and took her 150 miles south.
The total distance she rode was (100 + 150) = 250 miles.  But she ended up
50 miles south of where she began.

-- Displacement for the whole trip = distance and direction from the start point
to the finish point.

Displacement = 50 miles south

-- Average velocity = (displacement) / (time)

50 miles south / 3.5 hours = <u>14.29 miles per hour south</u>

Can we store electricity from lightning?
Helga [31]
No. For one thing, when it comes, it flows too fast to catch it and store it. And second, you never know WHERE to set up your equipment.

igomit [66]

Answer: 4m

Explanation:

Since the angle of incidence of a plane mirror can be anything from 0 to 90°

Assuming that the place is a perfectly square 4×4m room

The incident ray would be 45° for the choir(object) at a 4m distance, this is still within the range of values.

We do not forget also, that the focal length of a plane mirror is infinity, the organist would in fact see farther than 4m if need be. And wider

A line of dominos is knocked down. Which explanation is true?
Llana [10]

B: an increase in acceleration caused an increase in force.

This is based on the concept of force on an object.

Now, formula for force is commonly known as;

Force = mass × acceleration

Now, mass and acceleration are the input values that make the output which is the Force to either increase or decrease.

  • Now, for the line of dominoes to fall, it means that the force was so overwhelming that the dominoes couldn't resist it.

Now, this output which is the force became so much as a result of the increase in acceleration of the motion that triggered its movement.

Moreover, the force is directly proportional to the acceleration!

Thus, we can say that an increase in acceleration caused an increase in force.
