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 the following lies in the ecliptic plane?
babymother [125]
<h2>Answer: Earth's orbital path around the Sun</h2><h2></h2>

The <u>Ecliptic</u> refers to the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. Therefore, <u>for an observer on Earth it will be the apparent path of the Sun in the sky during the year, with respect to the "immobile background" of the other stars.</u>

<u />

It should be noted that the ecliptic plane (which is the same orbital plane of the Earth in its translation movement) is tilted with respect to the equator of the planet about 23\° approximately. This is due to the inclination of the Earth's axis.

Hence, the correct option is Earth's orbital path around the Sun.

15) On a cold day, you take in 4.2 L (i.e., 4.2 x 10-3 m3) of air into your lungs at a temperature of 0°C. If you hold your brea
Rudiy27

Answer:

4.8L ( i.e 4.8 x 10^-3 m3)

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Initial volume (V1) = 4.2L

Initial temperature (T1) = 0°C

Final temperature (T2) = 37°C

Final volume (V2) =?

Step 2:

Conversion of celsius temperature to Kelvin temperature. This is illustrated below

K = °C + 273

T1 = 0°C = 0°C + 273 = 273K

T2 = 37°C = 37°C + 273 = 310K

Step 3:

Determination of the final volume.

Since the pressure is constant,

Charles' Law equation will be applied as shown below:

V1 /T1 = V2/T2

4.2/273 = V2 /310

Cross multiply to express in linear form

273 x V2 = 4.2 x 310

Divide both side by 273

V2 = (4.2 x 310)/273

V2 = 4.8L ( i.e 4.8 x 10^-3 m3)

Therefore, the volume of the air in the lungs at that point is 4.8L ( i.e 4.8 x 10^-3 m3)

Is calculating the change of velocity the same as calculating acceleration? ​
koban [17]

Answer:

Yes! Thinking about it graphically a position vs time graph models meters per second in most cases, making every point on the line have the units m/s. If we want the find the slope we are finding the change between each point and those units would change to m/s/s or m/s^2 giving us the same units for acceleration. Simply put, slope of a velocity graph gives us acceleration.

The early workers in spectroscopy (Fraunhofer with the solar spectrum, Bunsen and Kirchhoff with laboratory spectra) discovered
Anestetic [448]

The hot gases produce their own characteristic pattern of spectral lines, which remain fixed as the temperature increases moderately.

<h3><u>Explanation: </u></h3>

A continuous light spectrum emitted by excited atoms of a hot gas with dark spaces in between due to scattered light of specific wavelengths is termed as an atomic spectrum. A hot gas has excited electrons and produces an emission spectrum; the scattered light forming dark bands are called spectral lines.

Fraunhofer closely observed sunlight by expanding the spectrum and a huge number of dark spectral lines were seen.  "Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff" discovered that when certain chemicals were burnt using a Bunsen burner, atomic spectra with spectral lines were seen. Atomic spectral pattern is thus a unique characteristic of any gas and can be used to independently identify presence of elements.

The spectrum change does not depend greatly on increasing temperatures and hence no significant change is observed in the emitted spectrum with moderate increase in temperature.
