How many (whole number of) 91 kg people

2 answers:

6 0

We are given that the maximum mass capacity is 1 metric ton or 1000 kg. Therefore the amount of people this can hold is simply the ratio of the maximum mass capacity over the mass of the person, that is:

people = 1000 kg / 91 kg

people = 10.98

So the elevator can safely occupy 10 people. We will not exceed to 11.

Answer:

<h2>10 people.</h2>

Explanation:

Gives

The elevator can hold a maximum weight of 1 metric ton.
1 metric ton is equivalen to 1000 kilograms, or which is the same $1.000 \times 10^{3} \ kg$ .
Each person weighs 91 kg.

To know the number of people that can safely occupy the elevator, we just need to divide

$\frac{1000 \ kg}{91 \ kg} \approx 10$

Therefore, around 10 people can safely occupy the elevator.

Notice that we can round the number to 11, because we cannot do that in real life with people. The decimal number is 10.98, but we there can't ve 10.98 people, because we can't have there a part of a person.

Therefore, the answer is 10 people.

You are creating waves in a rope by shaking your hand back and forth. Without changing the distance your hand moves, you begin t

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

<u>Amplitude - remains the same</u>

<u>Frequency - increases</u>

<u>Period - decreases</u>

<u>Velocity - remains the same.</u>

<u />

Explanation:

The amplitude of the wave remains the same since you are not changing the distance your hand moves and the amplitude of the wave depends on how much distance your hand covers while moving.

The frequency of your wave increases since now you are moving your hand more number of times in the same period i.e. your hand is moving faster in one second. So, the frequency of your wave increases.

The period is the time taken by the wave to travel a certain distance. Since your hand is now moving faster, the wave will travel faster and will take less time to cover the same distance hence, we can say that its period will decrease.

The velocity of a wave depends on the medium in which it is travelling. Your wave was previously travelling in air and the new wave is also travelling in the same medium so the velocity of the wave remains unchanged.

Voices of swimmers at a pool travel 400 m/s through the air and 1,600 m/s underwater. The wavelength changes from 2 m in the air

frosja888 [35]

The frequency of the wave has not changed.

In fact, the frequency of a wave is given by:

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where v is the wave's speed and $\lambda$ is the wavelength.

Applying the formula:

- In air, the frequency of the wave is:

$f=\frac{400 m/s}{2 m}=200 Hz$

- underwater, the frequency of the wave is:

$f=\frac{1600 m/s}{8 m}=200 Hz$

So, the frequency has not changed.

What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar

just olya [345]

<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.
