A man stands on a scale and holds a heavy object in his hands. What happens to the scale reading if the man quickly lifts the ob

ject upward and then stops lifting it?
Physics

Novosadov [1.4K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

When he accelerates the heavy object up , the reading increases because an extra downward normal force acts on it, then scale reading returns to the same reading as when standing stationary, and then decreases as although he is lifting the heavy object , the acceleration is decreasing ,so the extra upward normal force acts.

Which wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum are shorter than visible light and carry more energy
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Which wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum are shorter than visible light and carry more energy

A micro

B radio

C ultraviolet

F infrared

The correct answer is C

The visible light wavelength is of 7 × 10^-7 m while the ultraviolet is of other

4 × 10^-8 m

Therefore, ultravolet is shorter than visible light and carry more energy

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

An object weighing 4 newtons swings on the end of a string as a simple pendulum. At the bottom of the swing, the tension in the
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

(B) 0.5 g

Explanation:

Newton's second law says ∑  F i = m a .

the rate of change in momentum of a body is proportional to the force applied on the body.

f∝ma

f=kma

were k is constant and equal to 1

The centripetal acceleration is an acceleration.

the tension on the swing and object weight goes to the left hand side while the centripetal acceleration goes to the right handside

At the bottom of the swing, ΣF = FT – mg = mac;

notice that the tension in the swing is 1.5 times the weight of the object

we can write

1.5mg – mg = mac,

0.5mg = mac

0.5 g=ac

The ____ of a position-time graph represents an object’s velocity.
Marianna [84]

Answer:

The slope of a position-time graph represents an object’s velocity.

Explanation:

In a position-time graph, the values on the x-axis represent the time, while the values on the y-axis represent the position of the object.

Velocity is defined as the ratio between the displacement of an object and the time taken:

v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}

However, we can see that this definition corresponds to the slope of the curve in a position-time graph. In fact:

\Delta s, the displacement, corresponds to the difference in position, so the difference between the values on the y-axis: \Delta s=y_2 -y_1

\Delta t, the time interval, corresponds to the difference in times, so the difference between the values on the x-axis: \Delta t= t_2 -t_1=x_2 -x_1

So, the velocity is

v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}=\frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}

which corresponds to the slope of the curve.
