A block of mass = 4.00 kg is supported by a spring scale with unit of measure of Newtons. This spring scale is attached to top o

f an elevator. The elevator accelerates upward with a = 3.00 m/sec2. What is the reading on the spring scale to 3 significant figures?

Answer:

118 N

Explanation:

Given mass of the block, m = 4.00kg.

The acceleration of the elevator, a = 3.0 m/s^2.

As elevotar attaced with spring scale and accelerating upward

(block and elevator), so total force

F_N-mg=ma

Here, mg is the weight of the block downward direction.

or

F_N=ma+mg=m(g+a)

substitute the given value, we get

F_N=4kg(9.8m/s^2+3m/s^2)

     = 117.6 N = 118 N.

Thus, the reading on the spring scale to 3 significant figures is 118 N.

As the mass of an object increases so does its gravitational force. <br> a. True <br> b. False
vichka [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Gravity force is constant.

There some places on Earth that gravity has a variation, but in general, it is the same everywhere.

If you analyze the equation for the weight, which is the action of the gravity to mass, you'll see that W=mg, where m is the mass and g, is gravity.

If you increase the mass, what you are increasing is weight and not gravity.

An Na ion has a charge of +1 and an O ion has a charge of –2. How many Na ions does one O ion need to balance charges
Aleonysh [2.5K]
Because Na⁺ ion lacks an electron and O²⁻ has two extra electrons extra, to balance the charge, we need 2 Na⁺ ions.
 
All ions, atoms and molecules want to get to the minimum energy state, and that state is when the ion, atom, or molecule is neutral, that's why all of them want to balance their charges.
