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 sound wave (a periodic longitudinal wave) from a loudspeaker travels from air into water. The frequency of the wave does not c
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

When the sound wave enters the water its wavelength increase.

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of sound in air v = 343 \frac{m}{s}

Speed of sound in fresh water v' = 1482 \frac{m}{s}

We know that when wave travel into one medium to another medium frequency doesn't change.

Velocity is given by,

  v = f \lambda

In above equation frequency is constant,

So when sound wave enters the water wavelength increase because speed sound is increase in water as compare to air.

Therefore, when the sound wave enters the water its wavelength increase.

the object is in _________ when the vector sum of the force is acting on the object is equal to zero​
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Equilibrium

Explanation:

An object is in equilibrium when the vector sum of the force acting on the object is equal to zero.

A body in equilibrium is at state of rest of rest or in motion with no external force acting on it.

  • The resultant of all forces acting on the body is zero.
  • In this case there is no net force and the body will be at rest.
