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

If a cart goes around a turn at 20 km/h ,what remains constant
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: 4.speed

Explanation:

In this case, we know that the cart remains at a constant 20km/h.

Now, one could say that "the velocity remains constant, because it always is 20km/h"

But remember that velocity is a vector, so this has a direction, and if the cart is going around a turn, then the direction of motion is changing, which tell us that there is acceleration.

But the module of the velocity, the speed, remains constant at 20km/h.

Then the correct option is 4, speed.
