The acceleration of gravity depends on the distance from
the center of the Earth.  We use 9.8 m/s² for any place that's
on the Earth's surface, or reasonably close.  The 11.5 meters
down into the well certainly qualifies.

The formula we want is: 

                          Distance of fall = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

                                  11.5 m      = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time)²

Divide each side
by  4.9 m/s² :            (11.5m) / (4.9 m/s²)  =  time²

                                         2.347 sec²        =  time²

                                   time = √(2.347 sec²)  =   1.53 seconds  .

A 45.0-kg person steps on a scale in an elevator. The scale reads 460 n. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the elevat
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the elevator is 0.422 m/s²

Explanation:

Lets explain how to solve the problem

Due to Newton's Law ∑ Forces in direction of motion is equal to mass

multiplied by the acceleration

We have here two forces 460 N in direction of motion and the weight

of the person in opposite direction of motion

The weight of the person is his mass multiplied by the acceleration of

gravity

→ W = mg , where m is the mass and g is the acceleration of gravity

→ m = 45 kg and g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values in the rule above

→ W = 45 × 9.8 = 441 N

The scale reads 460 N

→ F = 460 N , W = 441 N , m = 45 kg

→ F - W = ma

→ 460 - 441 = 45 a

→ 19 = 45 a

Divide both sides by 45

→ a = 0.422 m/s²

<em>The magnitude of the acceleration of the elevator is 0.422 m/s²</em>

If an airplane is moving at a constant speed of 500 miles per hour in a straight line is it accelerating?
Zinaida [17]

No. It’s moving at a constant speed (speed is not changing) in a straight line (same direction so velocity is not changing) so it is not accelerating. Acceleration only occurs if there’s a change in speed/velocity.

How is a front defined in terms of weather ?. A) the leading edge of an anticyclone flow. B) the trailing edge of a warm front.
Svetllana [295]
A front is defined as a "boundary" that separates two masses of different air densities. I am not entirely sure, but I think the answers are either C or D, but I'm mostly convinced it's option D.
