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.

matrenka [14]

Answer:

a) 6.1 m

b) 4.6 s

c) 1.326 m/s

d) 0.325 m

Explanation:

a) The wave length is the distance between 2 crests λ = 6.1m

b) The period of the wave is the time it takes from the lowest point to the next lowest point, which is twice the time it takes from the lowest point to the highest point = 2*2.3 = 4.6 s

c) The speed of the wave is the distance per unit of time, or wave length over period = 6.1 / 4.6 = 1.326 m/s

d)The amplitude A is half the distance from the highest point to the lowest point = 0.65 / 2 = 0.325 m

Serjik [45]

Given that, A basesball is dropped from 100 meters above the surface of the earth. If the same baseball was dropped from 100 meters above the surface of the moon, it will take more time to hit the ground as compare to the ball dropped on earth. This is moon's gravity is one-sixth of that of earth. Object falling on earth possess more force of attraction. So it will reach the earth in lesser time. At moon the force of attraction is low compare to that of earth. Object will take more time to reach the surface.
