Apperant weight is occuring

Explanation:

This is because if you stand still on a scale in the elevator which is accelerating upwards you feel heavier as the elevator floor presses harder on your feet and then the scale will show a higher reading than when the elevator is at rest. The force exerted by the scale is known as apparent weight it does not change with constant speed

One of two things is happening.

EITHER ...

The elevator is going up, but it's slowing and getting ready to stop.

OR ...

The elevator was stopped, then the doors closed, and it started going down just a second ago.

Find the transformation matrix that rotates a rectangular coordinate system through an angle of 60 about axes equal angels with
RSB [31]

Answer:

  M = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}cos \ 60&0\\0&-sin \ 60\end{array}\right]

Explanation:

To find the matrix, let's decompose the vectors, the rotated angle is (-60C) for the prime system

          x ’= x cos (-60)

          y ’= y sin (-60)

we use

          cos 60 = cos (-60)

          sin 60 = - sin (-60)

we substitute

          x ’= x cos 60

          y ’= - y sin 60

the transformation system is

         \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x'\\y'\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}cos 60&0\\0&-sin60\end{array}\right] \ \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right]x '

the transformation matrix is

       M = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}cos \ 60&0\\0&-sin \ 60\end{array}\right]

The law of universal gravitation states that a gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is dir
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

D. It has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A principle is simply a proposition based on some results from some experiments. A principle becomes a law when it gains strength. That is when other scientists support and back it.

A scientific law is a statement that describes a natural phenomenon and is not contradicted by repeated experiments over the time.

Sir Isaac Newton's law of gravitation stated "A gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them."

His law explained that every body in the universe attracts every other body. It explained that it is not just Earth that pulls us towards it. But even sun and moon has their own gravitational pull and so does all other objects. It is just that the Gravitational pull of some objects is negligible.

Newton's law of Gravitation is considered a universal law because it is applicable to almost all the bodies in the universe and is demonstrated to be correct for them under certain conditions.

While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 32 m/s and comes to a stop with an acceleration of -6 m/s2. How long did it
diamong [38]

Answer: 6s

Explanation:

Vs=32m/s  speed at beginning of slowing down

Vf=0m/s     stop speed

a= -6 m/s²  acceleration

----------------

Use equation for acceleration :

a=(Vf-Vs)/t

a*t=Vf-Vs

t=(Vf-Vs)/a

t=(0-36)/-6

t=-36/-6

t=6 s
