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.

The wavelengths of terrestrial radiation from earth's surface are concentrated in _____.
Lady bird [3.3K]

The wavelengths of terrestrial radiation from earth's surface are concentrated in thermal infrared spectrum.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The wavelengths used in thermal infrared are in the range of micrometer ranging from 8 to 15. Terrestrial radiation is defined as the radiation that is originating from earth due to radioactive materials like uranium, thorium e.t.c.

Increase in terrestrial radiation by the use of radioactive materials will consequently increase global warming as it releases green house gases thereby degrading the quality of earth's atmosphere.

QveST [7]

Answer:

a)W_{f}=307.87 J

b)W_{f}=615.752 J

c) Therefore it is a nonconservative force

Explanation:

Distance traveled in one complete circular trip against friction  

d=2\pi *r

The force of friction is

F_{f}=u*F_{N}

F_{N}=w*g

The work of friction is the force of friction in the distance so

W_{f}=-F_{f}*d

a).

F_{N}=10kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}

F_{N}=98N

F_{f}=0.250*98N

F_{f}=24.5N

W_{f}=-24.5N*2\pi*2m

W_{f}=307.87 J

b).

W_{f}=-24.5N*2\pi*4m

W_{f}=615.752 J

c).

Since the circle returns to its initial position in both cases and the work done by the friction force different in both cases, so the friction force does depend on the path;
