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.

Which row shows what happens to the temperature of a solid as it melts and what happens to the temperature when
frez [133]

When ice melts, its temperature doesn't change ... ice at 32 degrees becomes water at 32 degrees.

When water boils, its temperature doesn't change ... water at 212 degrees becomes steam at 212 degrees.

The row that says both of these is row-D .

For any molecule, formula unit, or ion, the sum of the average atomic masses of all the atoms represented in a formula is the.
alukav5142 [94]

The mass of a substance is given in atomic mass units and is calculated by adding the average atomic masses of all the atoms in the substance's chemical formula.

<h3>What empirical formula represents the total average atomic mass of every atom?</h3>

The Method The average atomic masses of all the atoms included in a formula's representation are added to get the mass of any molecule, formula unit, or ion. It has no bearing on the number of significant figures because the number of atoms is an exact quantity. One H2O molecule weighs 18.02 amu on average.

<h3>What connection exists between the empirical formula and the molecular formula?</h3>

You can determine the number of atoms of each element in a molecule using its molecular formula. These empirical formulations provide the most basic or reduced elemental ratio of a compound. The empirical formula and the molecular formula of a substance are same if the molecular formula can no longer be decreased.

Cold water will warm to room temperature faster in a: a) Black pot
Viktor [21]

Answer:

black pot

Explanation:

option a is correct

Cold water will warm to room temperature faster in a Black pot as we know that Black surfaces and good absorbers of heat in comparison to other surfaces. Moreover, Silver a good reflector of heat. It reflects most of heat incident on it, the cold water will take longer time to come the room temperature in Silver pot.

A model airplane with a mass of 0.741kg is tethered by a wire so that it flies in a circle 30.9 m in radius. The airplane engine
liq [111]

(a) 24.6 Nm

The torque produced by the net thrust about the center of the circle is given by:

\tau = F r

where

F is the magnitude of the thrust

r is the radius of the wire

Here we have

F = 0.795 N

r = 30.9 m

Therefore, the torque produced is

\tau = (0.795 N)(30.9 m)=24.6 N m

(b) 0.035 rad/s^2

The equivalent of Newton's second law for a rotational motion is

\tau = I \alpha

where

\tau is the torque

I is the moment of inertia

\alpha is the angular acceleration

If we consider the airplane as a point mass with mass m = 0.741 kg, then its moment of inertia is

I=mr^2 = (0.741 kg)(30.9 m)^2=707.5 kg m^2

And so we can solve the previous equation to find the angular acceleration:

\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{24.6 Nm}{707.5 kg m^2}=0.035 rad/s^2

(c) 1.08 m/s^2

The linear acceleration (tangential acceleration) in a rotational motion is given by

a=\alpha r

where in this problem we have

\alpha = 0.035 rad/s^2 is the angular acceleration

r = 30.9 m is the radius

Substituting the values, we find

a=(0.035 rad/s^2)(30.9 m)=1.08 m/s^2
