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.

What is the value of x in the equation below 1+2e^x+1=9
GuDViN [60]
<h2>Answer: 1.252</h2>

Explanation:

We are given this equation and we need to find the value of x:

1+2e^x+1=9   (1)

Firstly, we have to clear x:

2e^x=9-1-1  

2e^x=7  

e^x=\frac{7}{2}     (2)

Applying<u> Natural Logarithm</u> on both sides of the equation (2):

ln(e^x)=ln(\frac{7}{2})     (3)

xln(e)=ln(\frac{7}{2})     (4)

According to the Natural Logarithm rules xln(e)=x, so (4) can be written as:

x=ln(\frac{7}{2})     (5)

Finally:

x=1.252

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Explanation:

Question 1

1.The wires are made of conducting materials e.g copper

2. A light bulb is made of filament material e.g tungsten with gases enclosed in a glass material

3.The lens is made of transparent glass material

4 The reflector is made of plastic with silver lining

5. The exterior casing of most flash lights are made of plastic

Question 2.

1.Copper is used to conduct electric current from the battery to the bulb

2.The tungsten filament ignite the gases and causes it to glow

3. The lens covers the lamp on your flashlight so that the glass on the lamp

/bulbs does not get broken.

4.The reflector redirects the light rays from the lamp, creating a steady beam of light, which is the light you see emitting from the flashlight.

5. The exterior cases houses the entire assembly and makes the flash light handy for use

vekshin1
Regardless of what direction an object is moving, the acceleration
due to gravity is always directed toward the center of the Earth. 
That's the direction commonly known as "down".
