Answer: The reading on the scale will decrease as the elevator descend.

According to Newton's second law of motion which explains that the rate of change of the momentum of a body is directly proportional to, and in the same direction as, the net force acting on it.

In essence as a body moves towards ground, it weighs less and even weighs more upon impact with the ground.

If peradventure, the whole system is in free fall, you, the elevator and the scale will weigh nothing at all.

Why was the 18th amendment repealed by the 21st amendment?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

The correct answer is: "It was unpopular with a majority of Americans and also difficult to enforce".

The 18th amendment to the US Constitution was issued in 1917 and declared a nationwide prohibition of intoxicating liquors, which banned both the production and sale of alcoholic beverages. Subsequently the Volstead Act was issued too, for the enforcement of this 18th amendment.

Although there was a decrease in alcohol consumption the enforcement of these regulations was extremely complicated, criminal organizations arose and started to sell alcohol in the black markets. Moreover, the public opinion started to reject the Prohibition in the 1920s decade. In 1932 President Franklin D. Roosevelt claimed for its derogation and in 1933 the 21st amendment to the US Contitution was passed to repeal the previous 18th amendment. It is the only time in the US history that one amendment is only issued to overrule a previous one.

Does anybody know why capitalism a free-market economy????
oee [108]
Well, capitalism is not always a free-market economy.

A typical capitalism is a free-market economy, which means that the market itself (buyer and sellers) can decide the prizes and terms of services.

In capitalism, the capital is privately, and not state owned. But capitalism can also come in other forms: of social democracy with partially free market, and with other forms which include corporations having controls over the market.
