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

The waters of a lake will be most layered in which season
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

B. Spring

Explanation:

The waters of a lake will be the most layered in the spring because of the melting of the ice (which is just frozen water) and the direct heat going into the lake causing the warm water to rise up and the colder water to move further down, which creates even more layers.

A traveling electromagnetic wave in a vacuum has an electric field amplitude of 98.9 V/m . Calculate the intensity ???? of this
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

intensity = 12.98 W/m^2

Energy = 3.93 J

Explanation:

As we know that the magnitude of electric field intensity is given as

E = 98.9 V/m

now we know that intensity of the wave is given as the product of energy density and speed of the wave

intensity = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2 c

intensity = \frac{1}{2}(8.85 \times 10^{-12})(98.9)^2(3\times 10^8)

intensity = 12.98 W/m^2

so intensity is the energy flow per unit area per unit of time

so the energy that flows through the area of 0.0259 m^2 in 11.7 s is given as

Energy = Area \times time \times intensity

Energy = 0.0259(11.7)(12.98)

Energy = 3.93 J
