Answer:

The answer will be 936 N.

Explanation:

Given that

m = 80 kg

Acceleration of the elevator , a= 1.7 m/s²  ( upward)

The gravity force on the mass = m g

The reading on the scale = F N

Now by applying the Newton's second law

F - m g = ma

F= m g + m a

F= m ( g +a )

F= 80 ( 10 + 1.7 ) N                                  ( take g= 10 m/s²)

F=80 x 11.7 N

F= 936 N

Therefore the reading on the scale will be 936 N.

The answer will be 936 N.

Which of these phase changes requires energy?
frutty [35]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

You have to give energy away for B. You have to think about that carefully. The CO2 starts out with a great deal of energy (mostly KE) and has to slow down to go from gas to a solid. Not B

In general C is the same way. Water has more energy than ice. Not C

Same principle in D.  Not D.

So it's A

Unpolarized light with intensity 370 W/m2 passes first through a polarizing filter with its axis vertical, then through a second
vampirchik [111]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given by Malus regarding the Intensity of light.

From the law of Malus intensity can be defined as

I' = \frac{I_0}{2} cos^2 \theta

Where

\theta =Angle From vertical of the axis of the polarizing filter

I_0 = Intensity of the unpolarized light

The expression for the intensity of the light after passing through the first filter is given by

I = \frac{I_0}{2}

Replacing we have that

I = \frac{370}{2}

I = 185W/m^2

Re-arrange the equation,

I'= \frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta

Re-arrange to find \theta

cos^2\theta = \frac{2I'}{I_0}

cos^2\theta = \frac{2*138}{370}

\theta = cos^{-1}(\sqrt{\frac{2*138}{370}})

\theta = 0.5282rad

\theta = 30.27\°

The value of the angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter is equal to 30.2°

The true statements about magnetic fields and forces will be A,D and E.

<h3>What is a magnet?</h3>

An iron piece,alloy, or other substance with its constituent atoms arranged in such a way that it shows magnetism qualities,

The function of the magnet is attracting other iron-containing objects or aligning itself in a magnetic field.

There are two poles of the magnet;

1. North Pole.

2. South Pole.

The same poles repel each other, while the opposite poles attract each other. In a sense, south-south and north-north repel. While the north-south and the south-north attract each other.

The correct statements are;

(A). The north pole attracts the south pole of a magnet.

(D)Forces caused by magnetic fields are weaker farther from the magnet.

(E)Magnetic forces can act on an object even if the object isn't touching the magnet.

Hence, the true statements about magnetic fields and forces will be A,D and E.
