Answer:increased

Explanation:

It is given that elevator speed is increasing while moving upward i.e.its acceleration is increasing .

This causes the apparent to be increased if measured using weighing machine.

considering upward direction to be positive

N-mg=ma

N=m(g+a)

where N=Normal reaction=Apparent weight

a=acceleration of Elevator

thus you feel as if your weight is increased.

What does a plant use in photosynthesis and what are the products? <br><br> PLEASE HELP:)
LenaWriter [7]

During photosynthesis: Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll, a green substance found in chloroplasts in some plant cells and algae. Absorbed light energy is used to convert carbon dioxide (from the air) and water (from the soil) into a sugar called glucose. Oxygen is released as a by-product.

disa [49]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The types of heat transfer that allows heat to flow from hot objects to colder object are <span>convection and conduction, but not radiation. Convection and conduction heat transfer happens only when a medium is present while radiation do not need a radiation to occur.</span>

A motion sensor emits sound, and detects an echo 0.0115 s after. A short time later, it again emits a sound, and hears an echo a
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

1.17 m

Explanation:

From the question,

s₁ = vt₁/2................ Equation 1

Where s₁ = distance of the reflecting object for the first echo, v = speed of the sound in air, t₁ = time to dectect the first echo.

Given: v = 343 m/s, t = 0.0115 s

Substitute into equation 1

s₁ = (343×0.0115)/2

s₁ = 1.97 m.

Similarly,

s₂ = vt₂/2.................. Equation 2

Where s₂ = distance of the reflecting object for the second echo, t₂ = Time taken to detect the second echo

Given: v = 343 m/s, t₂ = 0.0183 s

Substitute into equation 2

s₂ = (343×0.0183)/2

s₂ = 3.14 m

The distance moved by the reflecting object from s₁ to s₂ = s₂-s₁

s₂-s₁ =  (3.14-1.97) m = 1.17 m

A 1kg dictionary is resting on a table that is 1.5m high. How much potential energy
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Potential energy = 14.7 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass, m = 1kg

Height, h = 1.5m

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²

Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

P.E = mgh

Where, P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

P.E = mgh

Substituting into the equation, we have;

P.E = 1*9.8*1.5

P.E = 14.7 Joules.
