A student, standing on a scale in an elevator at rest, sees that his weight is 840 N. As the elevator rises, his weight increase

s to 1050 N, then returns to normal. When the elevator slows to a stop at the 10th floor, his weight drops to 588 N, then returns to normal. Draw force diagrams for the student during beginning and end of his elevator ride. Determine the acceleration at the beginning and end of the trip.

As per FBD while its accelerating upwards

we can say that

F_n - mg = ma

here normal force is given as

F_n = 1050 N

W = 840 N

now mass is given as

m(9.8) = 840

m = 85.7 kg

now we will have

1050 - 840 = 85.7 \times a

a = 2.45 m/s^2

Now while accelerating downwards we can say by FBD

mg - F_n = ma

again plug in all values

840 - 588 = 85.7 \times a

a = 2.94 m/s^2

Momentum depends on what two factors
IrinaVladis [17]

mass and velocity

Explanation:

Momentum depends on two important factors which are the mass and velocity of a body.

  Momentum = mass x velocity

  • Momentum can be defined as the product of mass and velocity.
  • It is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and directions.
  • Momentum is a very important quantity in physics as it shows the impact of a force on another.
  • The unit is Kgm/s²
  • It is the same as impulse.

When you look at a white light bulb through red sunglasses, why does the light look red to your eyes? What happened to all the o
Lelu [443]

Answer:

The answer is explained below in explanation

Explanation:

Whenever light falls on a colored surface, that color of light is reflected by the surface and all the other colors are absorbed. That is a black body appears black in all lights, because it absorbs every color and a white surface appears to be of the color of the light shone upon it because it is the mixture of all colors of light and reflects every color. The eyes only see the reflected light colors. The absorbed colors are not apparent to the eyes.

<u>Hence, when the white bulb is seen through red sunglasses, it does look like red to our eyes, while all the other colors are absorbed by the sun glasses.</u>

Delvig [45]

Answer:

D) Add a base like limestone or calcium carbonate.

Explanation:

-To reduce the soil's pH, you need to add an alkaline or base solution.

-Calcium carbonate has an alkanizing property and forms a carbonic acid and calcium hydroxide when dissolved in water.

-The solution will reduces the soil's pH.
