We simply use the formula,

$velocity =\frac{distance}{time}$

Given, velocity = 4 m per s and distance = 120 m.

Substituting these values, we get

$4\ m/s =\frac{120\ m}{time}\\\\\ time=\frac{120\ m}{4\ m/s} = 30\ s$ .

Thus, required time for the elevator in order to travel 120 m upwards is 30 s.

Answer:

v = 0.92 c

Explanation:

Here, we will use the time dilation formula from Einstein's theory of relativity to find the speed of traveling of the friend:

$t =\frac{t_o}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}} \\\\\\\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}=\frac{t_o}{t}\\\\$

where,

v = speed of traveling = ?

c = speed of light

t = time of return = 10 years

t₀ = time passed on earth = 4 years

Therefore,

$\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}} = \frac{4\ years}{10\ years}\\\\ 1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}=(\frac{2}{5})^2\\\\\frac{v^2}{c^2} = 1-\frac{4}{25}\\\\\frac{v^2}{c^2} = \frac{21}{25}\\\\v^2 = 0.84c^2\\\\$

You are driving home from school steadily at for 180 km. It then begins to rain and you slow to You arrive home after driving 4.

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Explanation:

Question is incomplete

Assuming the question you have asked is

You are driving home from school steadily at 95 km/h for 180 km. It then begins to rain and you slow to 65 km/h. You arrive home after driving 4.5 h.

given,

speed of 95 km/h for 180 km

due to rain

speed is reduced to 65 km/h

distance traveled in 4.5 hour

time taken to travel 180 km

d = s x t

$t = \dfrac{180}{95}$

t = 1.9 hr

distance traveled in time, t' = 4.5-1.9 = 2.6 hr

Speed of vehicle = 65 Km/h

d' = s x t'

d' = 65 x 2.6

d'= 169 Km

total distance your hometown from school

D = d + d'

D = 180 + 169

D = 349 Km

If you are in an elevator that speed up then the apparent weight is

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Fnet - Fg

Explanation:

When an object is in an elevator, its weight varies with respect to the direction of movement of the elevator and the elevators acceleration.

The weight, W, of an object can be expressed as;

W = mg

where m is the object's mass, and g is the acceleration due gravity.

If the object is in an elevator that speed up, an apparent weight would be felt since both mass and elevator are moving against gravitational pull of the earth.

So that,

$W_{net}$ = mg + ma

where: mg is the weight of the object, and ma is the apparent weight.

Apparent weight (ma) = $W_{net}$ - mg

What is the force of gravity for a 12 kg turkey?<br><br> Please help asap

pogonyaev

Answer: 117.6N

Explanation:

By the second Newton's law, we know that:

F = m*a

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

We know that in the surface of the Earth, the gravitational acceleration is g = 9.8m/s^2.

Then we just can input that acceleration in the above equation, and also replace m by 12kg, and find that the force due the gravity is:

F = 12kg*9.8m/s^2 = 117.6N

Conduction occurs more easily between solids and liquids. This is because the particles in gases are A) further apart and move f

valkas [14]

The answer is A. Further apart and move faster.

Conduction in general is the transfer of energy from molecule to molecule through DIRECT CONTACT. In solids and liquids, the molecules are closer to each other; more so in solids than liquids. This enables them to pass energy more quickly. Gas molecules on the other hand are further apart and move faster because they have space to move more freely. Energy does not easily pass on to the next molecule because of the distance between the molecules.
