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

What is the force if the mass is 75kg and the acceleration is 24.5m/s^2
Snowcat [4.5K]

<u>Given;</u>

mass m = 75 kg

acceleration a = 24.5 ms²

<em>F = ma </em>

F  =  75 kg * 24.5 ms²

    =  1837.5 kg ms².

A conductor of radius r, length l and resistivity p has resistance R. It is melted down and formed into a new conductor, also cy
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

b) R/4 (There seems to an error in mentioning the multiple choices of this question, please see below explanation of correct calculations for this  question.)

Explanation:

dimension of the conductor before melting is l, r

reistivity is p

R=(p*l)/(pie*r2)

after reforming length is reduced to L=l/4

volume in both the cases will be same

i.e. pie * r^2 * l =pie * R^2 * L

r^2 * l = R^2 * (1/2)l

due to this radius will become R=sqrt(2) * r

now new reistance is given by Rx=(p * L)/(pie * R^2)

i.e. Rx=(p * l/2)/(pie * r^2 * 2)

after simplification RX=((p * l)/(pie * r^2))/4

i.e. Rx=R/4

How can you determine the number of valence electrons in atom without drawing a Bohr model?
grigory [225]
Using your periodic table if you look at it 3-11 are tansition metals so the horizontal Group Number will help if the group number has to digits just remove the one so if it were to be 13, the valence would be 3, if it were 14 the valence would be ,4 if it were 15, the valence would be 5, if it were 16 the valence would be 6, if it were 17 the valence would be 7 if it were group 18 the valence would be 8 so if anymore help needed to explain hit me up
