Answer:
D) The elevator moves downward while slowing in speed.
Explanation:
The elevator is moving downward with decreasing speed , that means a force is acting on it in upward direction . So it has an acceleration in upward direction . This type of movement is similar to motion with acceleration in upward direction.
In this case apparent weight will be greater.
Blue-violet light on the visible light spectrum can cause damage to retina cells, increasing one's risk of developing age-related macular degeneration, explains Essilor.
Answer:
The average kinetic energy of the molecules increases
Explanation:
The temperature of a substance is proportional to the average kinetic energy of the particles in the substance.
In fact, for an ideal gas for instance, there is the following relationship:
where
KE is the average kinetic energy of the particles
k is the Boltzmann's constant
T is the absolute temperature of the gas
When we heat a substance (such as the flask of water in this problem), we are giving thermal energy to the particles of the substance; therefore, these particles will move faster on average, so their kinetic energy will increase (and the temperature of the substance will increase as well).

An observer at the top of a 462-ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°. What is the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground? Round to the nearest foot
Answer:
a ≈ 5281 ft
Explanation:
The observer at the top of a 462 ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°.
The angle of depression form the top of the cliff = 5°
The 5° is outside the triangle formed . To find the angle in the triangle we have to subtract 5° from 90°. 90° - 5° = 85° Note sum of an angle on a right angle is 90°.
using SOHCAHTOA principle we can solve for the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground(a)
tan 85° = opposite / adjacent
tan 85° = a / 462
cross multiply
462 × tan 85° = a
a = 11.4300523 × 462
a = 5280.66 ft
a ≈ 5281 ft
C. hydrogen accreted onto a white dwarf from a close companion rapidly fuses to helium, releasing a large amount of energy.
The accreted material, composed mainly of hydrogen, is compacted on the surface of the white dwarf due to the intense gravitational force on that place. As material accumulates, The white dwarf becomes increasingly hot, until it reaches the critical temperature for ignition of nuclear fusion.
