Answer:
M au = Fs - M g au = upwards acceleration; Fs = scale reading
Fs = M (au + g) scalar quantities where g is positive downwards and au is positive upwards - Fs is the net force acting on the person
If the acceleration is zero Fs = M g and the scale reads the persons weight
If the elevator is decelerating then au is negative and the scale reading Fs = (g - au) M and the scale reading is less than the weight of the person
The net force must be zero
This is in accordance to Newton's first law, which states that any object in motion will remain in motion and any object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. An unbalanced force is one where the net force is not zero. If no unbalanced force is applied to a moving object, it will keep moving forever. The reason that we do not observe this in our daily lives is due to friction acting as the unbalanced force.
So n=c/v, n= index, c=speed of light and v= speed of light in diamond. 2.42=c/v so v=c/2.42, c≈<span>3x108 m/sec</span><span> so v=</span><span>1.24x108 m/sec</span>.

Answer:
The scientific method is a method of research with defined steps that include experiments and careful observation. One of the most important aspects of this method is the testing of hypotheses by means of repeatable experiments. A hypothesis is a suggested explanation for an event, which can be tested.
