Answer:

Explanation:

All this information only applies to the person. There is an extra tension force if we are talking about the elevator, but we are not. Dont forget to apply the units

Acceleration means change in speed or velocity. The elevator is moving at a constant speed of 3 meters. You wont even know you are moving because there is no change in acceleration. It equals 0

The forces ONLY acting on the person would be the force of gravity pulling them down, and the normal force that the elevator is reciprocating from the person standing on it.

Force = mass x acceleration. You have 100 kg and you are accelerating at 0 m/s. The force is 0. Which makes sense because the force of gravity and the net force completely cancel each other out.

A larger truck takes more force to move What law of motion is it?

Y_Kistochka [10]

Newton's Second Law would probably best describe this.
F = ma
Where F = force
m = mass
a = acceleration

The force required is dependant on the mass, and where the mass is greater, the force required will be greater.

Answer:

The Fruit juice should be put in the cooler, because it has the greatest heat capacity and will therefore, absorb the most heat for each degree it increases in temperature.

Explanation:

in order to understand the answer above we need to know what specific heat capacity is

Specific heat capacity can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree

Looking at the specific heat of each substance suggested we see that the fruit juice has a higher specific heat capacity than others this is because it contains a higher amount of water , generally liquid states of substances have a higher specific heat capacity than other states. The specific heat capacity of fruit juice being the highest among the suggested substances means that it can absorb more heat for each degree temperature of refrigerator.

Statements about isotopes

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Key Takeaways: Isotopes

Isotopes are samples of an element with different numbers of neutrons in their atoms.

The number of protons for different isotopes of an element does not change.

Not all isotopes are radioactive. Stable isotopes either never decay or else decay very slowly. ...

When an isotope decays, the starting material is the parent isotope.
