A student, standing on a scale in an elevator at rest, sees that his weight is 840 n. as the elevator rises, his weight increase

s to 1050 n, then returns to normal. when the elevator slows to a stop at the 10th floor, his weight drops to 588 n, and then returns to normal. determine the acceleration at the beginning and end of the trip.

<span>1) at rest his weight is 840 N

=> 840N = mass * g => mass = 840 N / g = 840 N / 9.8 m/s^2 = 85.7 kg

2) as the elevator rises, his weight increases to 1050 N,

The reading of the scale is the norma force of it over the body of the person.

And the equation for the force is: Net force = mass * acceleration = normal force - weight at rest

=> mass * acceleration = 1050 N - 840 N = 210 N

acceleration = 210 N / mass = 210 N / 85.7 kg = 2.45 m/s^2 (upward)

3)  when the elevator slows to a stop at the 10th floor, his weight drops to 588 N

=>  mass * acceleration = 588 N - 840 N = - 252 N

=> acceleration = - 252 N / 85.71 kg = - 2.94 m / s^2 (downward)

Answer:

Acceleration at the beginning of the trip 2.45 m/s^2 upward
Acceleration at the end of the trip 2.94 m/s^2 downward

Which type of matter is gold an element used in making jewelry A.) A heterogeneous mixture B.) A pure substance C.) A crystallin
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

<em>The gold used in the making of jewelry is usually not pure but a heterogeneous mixture of metals. Pure gold is quite soft and even though it may look better in appearance compared to those made using heterogeneous mixtures, it usually bends easily. Hence, in order to make the jewelry more durable, gold is usually mixed with other metals to form a heterogeneous mixture. </em>

The correct option is A.

The time T in seconds for a pendulum of length L feet to make one swing is given by Upper T=2\pi \sqrt((L)/(36)). How long is a
Andreyy89

Answer:

3.6ft

Explanation:

Using= 2*π*sqrt(L/32)

To solve for L, first move 2*n over:

T/(2*π) = sqrt(L/32)

Next,eliminate the square root by squaring both sides

(T/(2*π))2 = L/32

or

T2/(4π2) = L/32

Lastly, multiply both sides by 32 to yield:

32T2/(4π2) = L

and simplify:

8T²/π²= L

Hence, L(T) = 8T²/π²

But T = 2.1

Pi= 3.14

8(2.1)²/3.14²

35.28/9.85

= 3.6feet
