A weight is hung from the ceiling of an elevator by a massless string. Under which circumstances will the tension in the cord be

the least?

When the elevator is going up (assuming the elevator is acceleration)

When the elevator is accelerating downwards, the total gravitational force would be larger.

If the elevator is accelerating upwards, then the gravitation force would be smaller, thus the tension in the string would be smaller.

Determine the value of n so that the vectors A and B are perpendicular: Ā = î + 5j + nk and B = 2î - j + k
Tanya [424]

If \vec A and \vec B are perpendicular, then their dot product is zero. This means

\vec A \cdot \vec B = (\vec\imath + 5\,\vec\jmath + n\,\vec k) \cdot (2\,\vec\imath - \vec\jmath + \vec k) = 2 - 5 + n = 0

Solving for n is trivial; it follows that n = 3.

What is the tail of a comet made of
ycow [4]
The tail consists of gas and dust that can extend hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the coma. Most comets actually have 2 tails: a plasma tail made of ionizedgas, and a dust tail made of small solidparticles. Comet tails point away from the Sun.

An airplane travels at 300 mi/h south for 2.00 h and then at 250 mi/h north for 750 miles. What is the average speed for the tri
Anettt [7]

Answer:

270 mi/h

Explanation:

Given that,

To the south,

v₁ = 300 mi/h, t₁ = 2 h

We can find distance, d₁

d_1=v_1\times t_1\\\\d_1=300\times 2\\\\d_1=600\ \text{miles}

To the north,

v₂ = 250 mi/h, d₂ = 750 miles

We can find time, t₂

t_2=\dfrac{d_2}{v_2}\\\\t_2=\dfrac{750\ \text{miles}}{250\ \text{mi/h}}\\\\t_2=3\ h

Now,

Average speed = total distance/total time

V=\dfrac{d_1+d_2}{t_1+t_2}\\\\V=\dfrac{600+750}{2+3}\\\\V=270\ \text{mi/h}

Hence, the average speed for the trip is 270 mi/h.
