Answer:

2. moves upward with increasing speed.

Explanation:

When an object it going up in an elevator, the object experiences the upward acceleration as well as the acceleration due to gravity. This means that the object feels that they are being pushed down.

Hence, the scale shows highest reading when the elevator moves upward with increasing speed.

The force on the scale would be

F=m(g+a)

Where,

m = Mass of object

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = Acceleration of the elevator

When an object moves in a circular path, it accelerates toward the center of the circle as a result of ______.
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration

Explanation:

An object moving around a xirxular path maintains its route as a result of centripetal force. However, its acceleration is caused by centripetal acceleration. Despite centripetal acceleration not being among the choices, it is the right answer.

Centripetal acceleration helps an object that navigates around a circular path to accelerate while centripetal force enables the movement of an object around a circular path to move inwards. Momentum, given as one of the choices is product of mass and velocity while friction is the force opposing movement of an object around a surface.

ruslelena [56]
  • T1=40°C=313K
  • T_2=-10°C=263K

Applying Charles law

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow \dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow \dfrac{100}{313}=\dfrac{V_2}{263}

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow V_2=\dfrac{26300}{313}

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow V_2=84.02ml

Which of the following statements is an accurate description of vibrations?
dexar [7]
<span>So we want to know what statement is an accurate description of vibrations. So humans can hear sound frequencies from 20-20000 Hz. Below 20 Hz is infra sound and above 20000 Hz is ultra sound. Humans cant hear both infra sound and ultra sound so the correct answer is A.</span>

A uniform disk with a 25 cm radius swings without friction about a nail through the rim. If it is released from rest from a posi
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

During the swing , the center of mass will go down due to which disc will lose potential energy which will be converted into rotational kinetic energy

mgh = 1/2 I ω² where m is mass of the disc , h is height by which c.m goes down which will be equal to radius of disc , I is moment of inertia of disc about the nail at rim , ω is angular velocity .

mgr  = 1/2 x ( 1/2 m r²+ mr²) x ω²

gr  = 1/2 x 1/2  r² x ω² + 1/2r² x ω²

g = 1 / 4 x ω² r + 1 / 2 x ω² r

g = 3  x ω² r/ 4

ω² = 4g /3 r

= 4 x 9.8 /  3 x  .25

= 52.26

ω = 7.23  rad / s .
