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

Two students side in carts opposite to one another in a spinning Ferris wheel as shown.
german

Net work done  on student B by the Ferris wheel in moving from the top to the bottom  is mathematically given as

net work done on A =0.

<h3>Net work done  </h3>

Generally the equation for the work energy theorem is mathematically given as

net work done on A = change in kinetic energy of A.

Where, angular velocity is constant.

change in kinetic energy = 0.

Hence, from work energy theorem,

net work done on A =0.

How is the wavelength of a longitudinal wave determined?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Wavelength can always be found by measuring the distance between any two corresponding points on adjacent waves. In the case of a longitudinal wave, a wavelength measurement is made by measuring the distance from a compression to the next compression or from a rarefaction to the next rarefaction.
