A person weighing 504 Newtons enters an elevator and stands on a scale which reads his weight in Newtons. The elevator starts to

accelerate upward at a rate of 8.53 m/s^2. What does the scale read while the elevator is accelerating upward? (Use g = 9.80 m/s^2)

Answer:

942.68 N

Explanation:

Weight of man = 504 N = W

a = Acceleration = 8.53 m/s²

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.80 m/s²

Mass of man

m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{504}{9.8}

Weight shown when elevator is being accelerated

W_n=ma+mg\\\Rightarrow W_n=\frac{504}{9.8}\times 8.53+504\\\Rightarrow W_n=942.68\ N

Scale reading while the elevator is accelerating upward is 942.68 N.

Two arrows are shot vertically upward. the second arrow is shot after the first one, but while the first is still on its way up.
Neko [114]
<span>Now that you know the time to reach its maximum height, you have enough information to find out the initial velocity of the second arrow. Here's what you know about it: its final velocity is 0 m/s (at the maximum height), its time to reach that is 2.8 seconds, but wait! it was fired 1.05 seconds later, so take off 1.05 seconds so that its time is 1.75 seconds, and of course gravity is still the same at -9.8 m/s^2. Plug those numbers into the kinematic equation (Vf=Vi+a*t, remember?) for 0=Vi+-9.8*1.75 and solve for Vi to get....... 17.15 m/s</span>

) By observing that the centripetal acceleration of the Moon around the Earth is ac = 2.7 × 10-3 m/s2, what is the gravitatonal
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

G = 6,786 10⁻¹¹ m³ / s² kg

Explanation:

The law of universal gravitation is

         F = G m M/ r²

Where G is the gravitational constant, m and M are the masses of the bodies and r is the distance from their centers

Let's use Newton's second law

         F = m a

The acceleration is centripetal

          a = a_{c}  

We replace

         G m M / r² = m  a_{c}  

         G =  a_{c}   r² / M

Let's replace and calculate

         G = 2.7 10⁻³ (3.88 10⁸)² / 5.99 10²⁴

         G = 6,786 10⁻¹¹ m³ / s² kg

Let's perform a dimensional analysis

[N m²/kg²] = [kg m/s²   m² / kg²] = [m³ / s² kg]

What elements compose the stars and planets in the universe
Savatey [412]

Well hydrogen would be the main element, as a process called nuclear fusion with both helium and hydrogen atoms occurs within stars. And planets are the products of dead stars that have burned through their supplies of hydrogen, helium, and carbon. Planets are a product of this.

What will occur when the trough of wave A overlaps the trough of wave B?
densk [106]

Constructive interference will occur, which means the waves will combine.

In destructive inference, the waves cancel each other out.

Hope this helps :)
