Answer:
When the elevator is accelerating downward, the person feels lighter due to the downward normal force being less than the person's weight.
Explanation:
A person riding in an elevator subjected to a series of unbalanced forces depending on the direction the elevator is travelling.
Two forces are acting on the person; the force of gravity and the upward normal force from the elevator.
When the elevator is going upwards with acceleration a, the person feels heavier than his normal weight, due to the upward normal force being greater than the person's weight. N = mg + ma
When the elevator is moving downwards with acceleration a, the person feels lighter due to the downward normal force being less than the person's weight. N = mg - ma
However, when the elevator is moving up or down at constant velocity ie. acceleration a = 0, the person experience a normal force equal to weight. N = mg
When the elevator is moving downwards with acceleration a = g, the person experiences weightlessness. N = (mg - mg) = 0
Answer:
A wave is a disturbance of the space (or of a medium), that carries energy without transmitting matter.
A wave is produced when there is a periodic vibration in the particles of a medium (mechanical wave), or when there is a periodic oscillation of the electric and magnetic fields (electromagnetic waves). Electromagnetic waves are the only ones that can travel through a vacuum.
Mechanical waves are further classified into two types, depending on how the particles in the medium vibrate:
- If they vibrate up and down (perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave), they are called transverse waves
- If they vibrate back and forth (parallel to the direction of motion of the wave), they are called longitudinal waves
In general, waves are generated from a precise point in the space, which is called source of the wave. The source of the wave does work, since it is responsible for starting the motion of the particle, and make them starting vibrating, so it transmits energy to the particles.
Answer:
<h2>B) Newton's 2nd law</h2>
Explanation:
<h2>From; force= mass × acceleration </h2><h2> f= m×a </h2><h2>where a(acceleration)= velocity/time</h2><h3> force = mv/t</h3><h3>But momentum(p) = Mass × velocity </h3><h2>hence force =p/t </h2><h3>that is Momentum = force × time ( Newton's 2nd law)</h3>
Answer:
the ball didn't not reach the Maximum height because of the time interval
Mercury a terrestrial. It isn't made of gas.
