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.

Calculate the amount of heat (kcal) released when 50.0g of steam at 100*c hits the skin, condenses, and cools to a body temperat
luda_lava [24]
As the steam touches the skin, it undergoes a phase change and releases latent heat due to the phase change. As it reaches equilibrium, it releases sensible heat. We calculate as follows:

Q = latent heat + sensible Heat
Q = 2.26 kJ / g (50.0 g) + 50.0 g ( 4.18 J / g C) (37 C - 100 C) ( 1 kJ / 1000 J)
Q = 99.833 kJ

The velocity of a particle moving along the x-axis varies with time according to v(t) = A + Bt−1 , where A = 2 m/s, B = 0.25 m,
kondaur [170]

Answer:

a= -2\ m/s^2

a=-12.5\ m/s^2

x=2.17 m

x=8.4 m

Explanation:

Given that

v=A+Bt^{-1}

v=2+0.25t^{-1}

To find acceleration :

we know that

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

\dfrac{dv}{dt}=0-0.5t^{-2}

a=-0.5t^{-2}

Acceleration at t= 2 s

a=-0.5\times 2^{-2}

a= -2\ m/s^2

Acceleration at t= 5 s

a=-0.5\times 5^{-2}

a=-12.5\ m/s^2

We know that

v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}

dx=\left(2+\dfrac{1}{4t}\right)dt

Position at t= 2 s:

\int_{0}^{x}dx=\int_{1}^{2} \left(2+0.25\dfrac{1}{t}\right)dt

x=\left [2t+0.25\ lnt \right ]_{1}^{2}

x=2+0.25 ln2

x=2.17 m

Position at t= 5 s:

\int_{0}^{x}dx=\int_{1}^{5} \left(2+0.25\dfrac{1}{t}\right)dt

x=\left [2t+0.25\ lnt \right ]_{1}^{5}

x=8+0.25 ln5

x=8.4 m

How do scientists determine the number of neutrons in an isotope of an atom?
ikadub [295]
D.  The atomic mass in amu is basically the number or nuclei since the mass of the electrons is negligible.  For a given atom (element) the number of protons is fixed.  Say the element has 10 protons.  If the atomic weight is 14 atomic mass units (amu), you know that there are 4 neutrons, since both neutrons and protons are 1 amu each and there are 10 protons
