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>

If the electrons are attracted more by the nucleus because of an additional proton, what would happen to it?
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

orbital speed of the electrons in their orbit will increase

Explanation:

As we know that centripetal force for electrons will be due to electrostatic attraction force of electron.

So it is given as

F_e = F_c

so we have

\frac{(Ze)(e)}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2} = \frac{mv^2}{r}

now on the left side if the force of attraction will increase and hence there must be the change in that part of equation

So here at the same position the speed of the electron

So we can say that correct answer will be

orbital speed of the electrons in their orbit will increase

Use the following information to answer the next question.
diamong [38]

Answer:

B. 1.55 × 10³ m/s

Explanation:

f = 3.02 x 10^6 Hz

wavelength = 5.13 x 10^-4 m

v = ?

v = f*lamda

v = 3.02 x 10^6 × 5.13 x 10^-4

v = 1.55 × 10³ m/s

"The International Space Station (ISS) orbits at a distance of 350 km above the surface of the Earth. (a) Determine the gravitat
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

(a) g = 8.82158145m/s^2.

(b) 7699.990192m/s.

(c)5484.3301s = 1.5234 hours.(extremely fast).

Explanation:

(a) Strength of gravitational field 'g' by definition is

g = \frac{M_{(earth)} }{r^2} G , here G is Gravitational Constant, and r is distance from center of earth, all the values will remain same except r which will be radius of earth + altitude at which ISS is in orbit.

r = 6721,000 meters, putting this value in above equation gives g = 8.82158145m/s^2.

(b) We have to essentially calculate centripetal acceleration that equals new 'g'.

a_{centripetal}=\frac{V^2}{r} =g here g is known, r is known and v is unknown.

plugging in r and g in above and solving for unknown gives V = 7699.990192m/s.

(c)  S = vT,  here T is time period or time required to complete one full revolution.

S =  earth's circumfrence , V is calculated in (B) T is unknown.

solving for unknown gives T = 5484.3301s = 1.5234hours.
