Answer:

option B

Explanation:

given,

mass of Eric = 60 Kg

acceleration o f the elevator downward (a)= 1.7 m/s²

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

reading of scale = ?

when elevator is going down there will be a pseudo acting on Eric so, negative acceleration will be acting.

so, weight will be equal to

W_{apparent} - mg = - ma

W_{apparent} = m (g - a)

W_{apparent} = 60 ( 9.8 - 1.7 )

W_{apparent} = 60 x 8.1

W_{apparent} = 486 N

so, Weight will be approximately equal to 490 N

the correct answer is option B

Answer:

Follows are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

For point a:

$T= 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\\\\k = \frac{4 \pi^2 m}{T^2}\\\\= \frac{4 \times (3.14)^2 \times 3}{2^2}\\\\=29.578 \ \frac{N}{m}\\\\$

For Point b:

$E=\frac{1}{2} m a^2 w^2\\\\$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times m \times a^2 \times \frac{4\pi^2}{T^2}\\\\=\frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times (0.15)^2 \times \frac{4\times 3.14^2}{2^2}\\\\=0.332 \ J$

For Point C:

$V_{max}= a w$

$= (0.15) \times \frac{2\pi}{T}\\\\= (0.15) \times \frac{2\times 3.14}{2}\\\\=0.471 \frac{m}{s}$

For point D:

$X= a \sin (wt+ \phi)\\\\0.91=0.15 \sin(\frac{2\pi}{T} \times t+\phi)\\\\0.91=0.15 \sin(\frac{2\times 3.14}{2} \times 0.5+\phi)\\\\0.60 = \sin(3.14 \times 0.5+\phi)\\\\0.60 = \sin(1.57+\phi)\\\\1.57 +\phi =\sin^{-1} 60^{\circ}\\\\1.57 +\phi = 36.86^{\circ}\\\\=35.29^{\circ}\\\\So, X=15 \sin(3.14t+35.29^{\circ}) \ cm$

Consider an oil droplet of mass m and charge q. We want to determine the charge on the droplet in a Millikan-type experiment. We

Katen [24]

Answer:

$q=\frac{mg}{E_o}$

Explanation:

Given:

Charge = <em>q</em>

Electric field strength = $E_o$

weight of the droplet = <em>mg</em>

The charge is suspended motionless. This is because the electric force on the charge is balanced by the weight of the droplet.

electric force on charged droplet, $F=qE_o$

This is balanced by the weight, $mg$

Equating the two:

$qE_o=mg\\\Rightarrow q=\frac{mg}{E_o}$

Help with this physics task pls

Answer:

Answers can be seen below

Explanation:

First we must explain the essential when we clear equations, and that is that if the term we need to clear is accompanied by other terms that are being added up, then those terms go to the other side of the equation to subtract if those terms are subtracting, then they go to the other side to add, if those terms are found multiplying then they go to the other side of the equation to divide and if those other terms are found dividing then they go to the other side of the equation to multiply.

(Primero debemos explicar lo esencial cuando despejamos ecuaciones, y es que si el término que necesitamos despejar va acompañado de otros términos que se están sumando, entonces esos términos van al otro lado de la ecuación para restar si esos términos están restando, luego van al otro lado para sumar, si esos términos se encuentran multiplicando luego van al otro lado de la ecuación a dividir, y si esos términos se encuentran dividiendo, pasan al otro lado de la ecuación a multiplicar.)
