An object is hanging by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. The elevator is moving upward with a constant speed. What is t

he magnitude of the tension in the string?
The magnitude of the tension in the string is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the object.
The magnitude of the tension in the string is less than the magnitude of the weight of the object.
The tension in the string cannot be determined without knowing the speed of the elevator.
The magnitude of the tension in the string is greater than the magnitude of the weight of the object.
The tension in the string is zero.

Answer:

The magnitude of the tension in he string is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the object.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's 1st law, An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

In here, the elevator is moving with a constant speed. So the object must have the equal constant speed. Which means, it has a uniform motion. According to Newton's 1st law, the total unbalanced force on the object must be zero . As we know, there are only two forces are on the object and they are,

The tension in string(T)   ,   The weight of the object(W) .

                                  ∴ F    =   0

                                 T  -  W  =   0

So to balanced those forces, the magnitude of the tension in the string must be equal to the magnitude of the weight of  the object.

What happens when two waves meet
olganol [36]

Wave interference is the phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium. The interference of waves causes the medium to take on a shape that results from the net effect of the two individualwaves upon the particles of the medium.Hope this help!

Based on the second law of thermodynamics, how would you expect a system to change over time?
deff fn [24]

B. It's randomness would increase

Because the Second Law of Thermodynamics states that as energy is transferred or transformed, more and more of it is wasted. It also states that there is a natural tendency of any isolated system to degenerate into a more disordered state.

Suppose you are on an airplane moving at high speed. If you flip a coin straight up it will land in your lap rather than a great
maxonik [38]
It will land in your lap because there's different frames of motion relative to yourself. For example, if you're running at a speed of 6 mph, it doesn't mean you'll run as fast as the Earth spins. Also, since you're on the interior of the plane, any kind of wind or weather on the outside will not affect the coin. A law to back up this claim is Einsteins Special Law of Relativity.
