Which of the following is not used when prediciting volcanic erruptions

Rachel has been reading her physics book. She takes her weighing scales into an elevator and stands on them. If her normal weigh

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

345 N

Explanation:

Given:

Normal weight of Rachel (mg) = 690 N

Case 1: Upward motion of elevator

Given:

Acceleration of elevator (a) = 0.25 g

The scale reading is given by the normal force acting on Rachel. Let N₁ be the normal force.

So, the net force acting on Rachel is given as:

$F_{net}=N_1-mg=N_1-690$

Now, from Newton's second law:

$F_{net}=ma\\\\N_1-690=m\times 0.25g\\\\N_1-690=0.25\times (mg)\\\\N_1-690=0.25\times 690\\\\N_1=690+172.5=862.5\ N------(1)$

Case 2: Downward motion of elevator

Given:

Acceleration of elevator (a) = 0.25 g

The scale reading is given by the normal force acting on Rachel. Let N₂ be the normal force.

So, the net force acting on Rachel is given as:

$F_{net}=mg-N_2=690-N_2$

Now, from Newton's second law:

$F_{net}=ma\\\\690-N_2=m\times 0.25g\\\\690-N_2=0.25\times (mg)\\\\690-N_2=0.25\times 690\\\\N_2=690-172.5=517.5\ N------(2)$

Now, the difference in the scale reading is obtained by subtracting equation (2) from equation (1). This gives,

$Difference=N_1-N_2=862.5-517.5=345\ N$

Therefore, the difference between the up and down scale readings is 345 N.

Write how gravity and the mass of the pack affected the motion of the pack when it was thrown at different forces.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

A rocket with more mass will speed up more slowly, just as in the horizontal example, but there is another effect. The force of gravity is now acting in the opposite direction to the thrust, so the resultant force pushing the rocket upwards is also less.

The brief wave of positive electrical charge that sweeps down the axon is _____.

kobusy [5.1K]

I believe Action potential is the brief wave of positive charge that sweeps down the axon. Axon is part of the neuron that conducts impulses from the dendrites towards the cell body along the neuron. The action potential is brief since the sodium channels can only stay open for a very brief amount of time. As it travels along the neuron there is a change in polarity across the membrane of the axon .

1) How is density different than mass?

elixir [45]

Mass is a measure of how much matter there is within an object, typically given in grams. Mass is not affected by gravity, so a given object would have the same mass on earth as in outer space. Density is the amount of mass in an object per a certain amount of volume

two equal and unlike parallel forces of magnitude 34N act on a rigid body,such that the moment of couple is 8.50 Nm. calculate t

goldfiish [28.3K]

The moment of a couple is Force × perpendicular distance from the arm of the line of action

so the arm of the couple= moment of couple/force=8.5/34=0.25m

the arm is 0.25m
