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>

Analyze how friction can be both a positive and negative aspect on our lives
denpristay [2]
Positive - Friction allows us to create heat in a desperate situation, like being lost in the woods. If we didn't have friction, we would probably freeze to death.
Negative - Friction can also cause unwanted fires, such as forest fires. If friction didn't exist, we wouldn't have these.

Which of the following is a likely life cycle of a star?
melomori [17]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

But this just happen for big stars, like more than 20x the Sun mass.

Shortly: A nebula is a cloud of gas and dust, the material starts to be acummuleted and became a protostar (is like a big planet, almost  a star). With enought mass this is a star, burn hydrogen and transform it in Helium.

This occurs in Main Sequence, is about almost all the life time of a star. Then starts the lack of hydrogen. Gravity compress everything, pressure goes up and heat all. Too much energy, Helium get burned and the star grews fast, became a Red Giant. Time pass and the fuel is over, no more making fusion, gravity compress the star, too much strenght, colapses, neutron star.

If it have pretty mass, ok. If have more than like 2x Sun mass, became a blackhole.
