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.

A 27.0 g marble sliding to the right at 56.8 cm/s overtakes and collides elastically with a 13.5 g marble moving in the same dir
Nataly [62]

Answer:v_1=28.4 cm/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of marble m_1=27 gm

velocity of marble u_1=56.8 cm/s \approx 0.568 m/s

mass of second marble m_2=13.5 gm

Velocity of second marble u_2=14.2 cm/s \approx 0.142 m/s

After collision 13.5 gm marble moves to the right  at i.e. v_2=71 cm/s

Conserving momentum

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

27\times 56.8+13.5\times 14.2=27\times v_1+13.5\times 71

1533.6+191.7=27\cdot v_1+958.5

27\cdot v_1=766.8

v_1=\frac{766.8}{27}=28.4 cm/s

Based on its orbit, which planet behaves the least like the others?
Gekata [30.6K]
I believe it's Mercury, because the only other option would be Pluto and it's not even considered a planet anymore

There is a seasaw that's holding two men. The seesaw has a length of 18m that can pivot from a point at its center. Man 1 has a
Alex

Answer:

Distance=  2.3864m

Explanation:

So that the balance is in equilibrium parallel to the floor, we must match the moment each man makes with respect to the pivot point.

In many cases the point of application of force does not coincide with the point of application in the body. In this case the force acts on the object and its structure at a certain distance, by means of an element that transfers that action of this force to the object.

This combination of force applied by the distance to the point of the structure where it is applied is called the moment of force F with respect to the point. The moment will attempt a rotation shift or rotation of the object. The distance from the force to the point of application is called the arm.

Mathematically it is calculated by expression:

M= F×d

The moment caused by the first man is:

M1= 75kg × (9.81m/s²) × 1.75m= 1287.5625 N×m

The moment caused by the second man must be equal to that caused by the first by which:

M2= 1287.5625 N×m= 55kg × (9.81m/s²) × distance ⇒

⇒distance= (1287.5625 N×m)/( (55kg × (9.81m/s²) )= 2.3864m

At this distance from the pivot point, the second should sit down so that the balance is balanced parallel to the ground.

a 5.00 kg plane is speeding up on the ground with an applied force of 706 N. If the net force is 450 N, what would be the force
loris [4]

Answer:

The force due to air resistance is 256 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the plane, m = 5 kg

applied force on the plane, Fa = 706 N

the net force on the plane, ∑F= 450 N

Let the force due to air resistance = Fr

The net force on the plane is given as;

Net force = applied force - force due to air resistance

∑F = Fa - Fr

Fr = Fa - ∑F

Fr = 706 - 450

Fr = 256 N.

Therefore, the force due to air resistance is 256 N.
