Answer:

1 m/s² down

Explanation:

"Calculate the acceleration of the elevator, and find the direction of acceleration."

Sum of forces in the +y direction:

∑F = ma

N − mg = ma

0.9 mg − mg = ma

-0.1 mg = ma

a = -0.1 g

a = -1 m/s²

a test tube has a diameter of 3cm . how many turns would a piece of thread of length 90.42 make round test tube​
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

4.8 turns would be made around the tube

Explanation:

You need the circumference of the tube since it's just a lifted circle

2×pi×3=18.85

90.42/18.85=4.79

And round that to 4.8

A 2,000 kg car is moving at 15m/s when it collides with a 1200kg car sitting still. Briefly compare the impulse imparted on the
I am Lyosha [343]

impulse = F × t

The greater the impulse exerted on something, the greater will be the change in momentum.

impulse = change in momentum

Ft = ∆(mv)

Speedy Sue, driving at 34.0 m/s, enters a one-lane tunnel. She then observes a slow-moving van 160 m ahead traveling at 5.20 m/s
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

there will be collision

Explanation:

v_{s} =  speed of sue = 34 m/s

v_{v} = speed of van = 5.20 m/s

v_{sv} = speed of sue relative to van  = v_{s} - v_{v} = 34 - 5.20 = 28.8 m/s

d_{s} = stopping distance after brakes are applied

D = distance between sue and van = 160 m

v_{f} = final speed of sue = 0 m/s

a = acceleration = - 1.80 m/s²

Using the kinematics equation

v_{f}^{2} = v_{o}^{2} + 2 a d_{s}

0^{2} = 28.8^{2} + 2 (1.80) d_{s}

d_{s} = 230.4 m

Since  d_{s} < D

hence there will be collision
