Answer:

a=0.5418\ m.s^{-2} upwards

a=1.283\ m.s^{-2} downwards

Explanation:

Given:

weight of the person, w=688\ N

So, the mass of the person:

m=\frac{w}{g}

m=\frac{688}{9.81}

m=70.132\ kg

  • Now if the apparent weight in the elevator, w_a= 726\ N

<u>Then the difference between the two weights is :</u>

\Delta w=w_a-w

\Delta w=726-688

\Delta w=38\ N is the force that acts on the body which generates the acceleration.

Now the corresponding acceleration:

a=\frac{\Delta w}{m}

a=\frac{38}{70.132}

a=0.5418\ m.s^{-2} upwards, because the normal reaction that due to the weight of the body is increased here.

  • Now if the apparent weight in the elevator, w_a= 598\ N

<u>Then the difference between the two weights is :</u>

\Delta w=w-w_a

\Delta w=688-598

\Delta w=90\ N is the force that acts on the body which generates the acceleration.

Now the corresponding acceleration:

a=\frac{\Delta w}{m}

a=\frac{90}{70.132}

a=1.283\ m.s^{-2} downwards, because the normal reaction that due to the weight of the body is decreased here.

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Weight of person=w=688 N

a.Scale reading=n=726 N

m=\frac{w}{g}=\frac{688}{9.8} m

By using g=9.8m/s^2

Net force=ma=n-w

a=\frac{n-w}{m}=\frac{726-688}{\frac{688}{9.8}}m/s^2

a=0.54 m/s^2

The sign of acceleration(a) is positive.Therefore, the direction of elevator's accelerating is upwards.

b.Scale reading=n=598 N

a=\frac{598-688}{\frac{688}{9.8}}=-1.28m/s^2

a=-1.28 m/s^2

The sign of acceleration(a) is negative.Therefore, the direction of elevator's accelerating is downwards.

A sphere has surface area 1.25 m2, emissivity 1.0, and temperature 100.0°C. What is the rate at which it radiates heat into empt
Yuri [45]
The total power emitted by an object via radiation is:
P=A\epsilon \sigma T^4
where:
A is the surface of the object (in our problem, A=1.25 m^2
\epsilon is the emissivity of the object (in our problem, \epsilon=1)
\sigma = 5.67 \cdot 10^{-8} W/(m^2 K^4) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant
T is the absolute temperature of the object, which in our case is T=100^{\circ} C=373 K

Substituting these values, we find the power emitted by radiation:
P=(1.25 m^2)(1.0)(5.67 \cdot 10^{-8}W/(m^2K^4)})(373 K)^4=1371 W = 1.4 kW
So, the correct answer is D.

What do the arrows in this photograph represent
babunello [35]

Answer: D. An action-reaction force pair

Explanation: When you sit in your chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair and the chair exerts an upward force on your body. There are two forces resulting from this interaction - a force on the chair and a force on your body. Another example would be a person pushing against a wall (action force), and the wall exerts an equal and opposite force against the person.

What is the effect on the force of gravity between two objects if the mass of one object remains unchanged while the distance to
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is

B. It always decreases

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that the foce of gravity is given by

F_G=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} where

G= Gravitational constant

m₁ = mass of first object

m₂ = mass of second object

r = the distance between both objects

If the mass of one object remains unchanged while the distance to the second object and the second object’s mass are both doubled, we have

F_{G2} =\frac{Gm_1(2m_2)}{(2r)^2} = \frac{2}{4} \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Therefore the gravitational force is halved. That is it will always decrease

A 1060-kg car moving west at 16 m/s collides with and locks onto a 1830-kg stationary car. determine the velocity of the cars ju
iren [92.7K]
M1U1 + M2V2 = (M1+M2)V, where M1 is the mass of the moving car, M2 is the mass of the stationary car, U1 is the initial velocity, and V is the common velocity after collision.
therefore; 
(1060× 16) + (1830 ×0) = (1060 +1830) V
 16960 = 2890 V
      V = 5.869 m/s
The velocity of the cars after collision will be 5.689 m/s
