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 happens to the matter that makes up a liquid when sound travels through it
TiliK225 [7]

Explanation:

The matter passes in the directions of the noise and flows from the source to a receiver like sound flows through a substance. As the sound flows through a fluid, the material is disrupted for an amount of time, but after the sound leaves, it restored to its normal location.

A point charge q is at the point x = 0, y = 0, z = 0. An imaginary hemispherical surface is made by starting with a spherical su
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

282.5 N.m^2/C

Explanation:

Use the Coulomb's law. According to it, the flux through entire sphere would be

\phi = \frac{q}{\epsilon_o}

where, q is the total charge enclosed in the sphere and \epsilon_o is the absolute permittivity.

Thus, the flux through the hemisphere would be half of it i.e.

\phi = \frac{q}{2\epsilon_o}\\\phi =\frac{5\times 01^{-9}}{2\times 8.85\times10^{-12}}\\\phi =282.5 N.m^2/C

Two masses, each weighing 1.0 × 103 kilograms and moving with the same speed of 12.5 meters/second, are approaching each other.
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

A. 1.6 × 105 joules

Explanation:

As per the question, the data given in the question is as follows

Number of masses = 2

Each weightage = 1.0 \times 2.3

Speed = 12.5 meters/ second

Based on the above information, the approximate kinetic energy after the collision is

A perfectly elastic collision is described as one where the collision does not cause any loss of kinetic energy. 

So we sum the kinetic energy of each kind of system which is given below:

Kinetic energy is

= 0.5(1.0 \times 10^3) (12.5)^2 + 0.5 (1.0 \times 10^3) (12.5 )^2

= 156250 J

= 1.6 \times 10^5 J
