Answer:

1.25 m/s^2

Explanation:

m = 76 kg, R = 840 N

Let a be the acceleration of teh elevator in upward direction.

By use of Newton's second law

R - mg = m a

R = m ( g + a)

840 = 76 ( 9.8 + a)

a = 1.25 m/s^2

What is the momentum of a compact car that is 750 kg and is travelling 30 m/s?
MakcuM [25]
The formula for momentum is p = mv, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.

To solve for p, plug in 750 kg for mass and 30 m/s for velocity. • is a multiplication symbol

p = mv
p = 750kg • 30m/s
p = 22500 kg•m/s

Please help!

Since there is no air resistance, gravity is the only force acting on the two objects - the bowling ball and the arrow. Therefore, they will hit the ground at the same time. Thus the answer is D. Both hit the ground at the same time. Hope this helped and have a great day!

Suppose the tip of the minute hand of a clock is two inches from the center of the clock. Determine the distance traveled by the
sashaice [31]
1) The minute travels the circumference of a 4 inches circle is 60 minutes:

Circumference = 2πr = 2π(2in) = 4π in
Time = 60 minutes

2) Constant angular velocity => (4π / 60) = (x / 20) => x = 4π / 3 inches

x = 4.19 inches

Answer: 4.19 inches

What are 3 criteria for acceleration?
Temka [501]

I don't think you mean 'criteria'.  I think you mean three occurrences or
observations that indicate the presence of acceleration.

They are:

-- an object is speeding up
-- an object is slowing down
-- the direction of an object's motion is changing .

Any one of these changes is acceleration.

There's a single term that covers them all.  It is "change in velocity".

A physical quantity is defined as mass per uint volume .what is its si unit.


A physical quantity is a property of a material or system that can be quantified by measurement. A physical quantity can be expressed as the combination of a numerical value and a unit. For example, the physical quantity mass can be quantified as n kg, where n is the numerical value and kg is the unit. A physical quantity possesses at least two characteristics in common, one is numerical magnitude and other is the unit in which it is measured.
