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>

A. Obtain the following: microwave, ruler, something meltable (e.g. candy bar, marshmallows) B. A microwave works by setting up
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

E = 124.7 N / C

Explanation:

Let's analyze the exercise: the microwave creates an electromagnetic wave of frequency F = 2.45 GHz, this wave is introduced into the microwave cavity and is reflected on the metal walls, which is why one or more standing waves are formed.

The electric field of the standing wave is

            I = E²

            E =√I

where I is the intensity of the radiation.

What is it

             I = P / A

where P is the effective emission power, almost all the power of the microwave and A is the area of ​​the cavity, in the most used microwaves

P = 700 W and the area is A = 25 x 18 cm² = 0.045 m²

             I = 700 / 0.045

             I = 15555.56 W/m²

let's calculate the electric field

            E = √15555.56

            E = 124.7 N / C

Why is Earth’s North Pole a geographic north pole but a south seeking pole magnetically?
natima [27]

Answer:It is actually the South Magnetic pole

Explanation:The magnetic pole near earth's geographic north pole is actually the south magnetic pole. When it comes to magnets, opposites attract. This fact means that the north end of a magnet in a compass is attracted to the south magnetic pole, which lies close to the geographic north pole.

he electronics supply company where you work has two different resistors, R1 and R2, in its inventory, and you must measure the
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

R₁ = 50.77 Ω

Explanation:

Since, we know that:

Electric Power = P = VI

but from Ohm's Law:

V = IR

(or) I = V/R

Therefore,

P = V²/R

(OR) R = V²/P

where,

V = Battery Voltage

R = Resistance of combination

FOR SERIES COMBINATION:

R = Rs = (57 V)²/48 W

Rs = 67.69 Ω

but, we know that:

Rs = R₁ + R₂

R₁ + R₂ = 67.69 Ω

R₁ = 67.69 Ω - R₂  __________ eqn (1)

FOR PARALLEL COMBINATION:

R = Rp = (57 V)²/256 W

Rp = 12.69 Ω

but, we know that:

Rp = (R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = 12.69 Ω

using eqn (1) and value of R₁ + R₂, we get

Rp = 12.69  = R₂(67.69 - R₂)/67.69

859.08 = 67.69 R₂ - R₂²

R₂² - 67.69 R₂ + 859.08 = 0

Solving this quadratic equation we get the answers:

Either, R₂ = 50.76 Ω

Either, R₂ = 16.92 Ω

Since, it is stated in the question that R₁ > R₂. Therefore, we choose the second value. So,

<u>R₂ = 16.92 Ω</u>

using this value in eqn (1), we get:

R₁ = 67.69 Ω - 16.92 Ω

<u>R₁ = 50.77 Ω</u>
