Answer:

0.42 m/s^2

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the person as he's standing on the scale in the elevator:

- Its weight, mg, downward, with m = 45.0 kg being his mass and g = 9.8 m/s^2 being the acceleration of gravity

- The normal reaction exerted by the scale on the person, N, upward, which is equal to the value read on the scale, N = 460 N

Using Newton's second law, we can write

N-mg = ma

Where a is the acceleration of the person (and of the elevator). Solving for a,

a=\frac{N-mg}{m}=\frac{460-(45)(9.8)}{45}=0.42 m/s^2

And since we chose positive as the upward direction, the acceleration is upward.

When turning a magnet very quickly would be BEST used to create A) radiation. B) light waves. C) an electric current. D) a conve
Gre4nikov [31]

the correct choice is

C) an electric current.

as a magnet is turned quickly relative to a coil, the magnetic flux linked with coil varies due to variation of angle of direction of magnetic field with normal to the plane of coil. the coil resist this change of magnetic flux in it by inducing emf in it so as to nullify the variation in magnetic flux. Due to this induced emf , electric current flows through the coil.

Observe the given figure and find the the gravitational force between m1 and m2.​
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The gravitational force between m₁ and m₂, is approximately 1.06789 × 10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

The details of the given masses having gravitational attractive force between them are;

m₁ = 20 kg, r₁ = 10 cm = 0.1 m, m₂ = 50 kg, and r₂ = 15 cm = 0.15 m

The gravitational force between m₁ and m₂ is given by Newton's Law of gravitation as follows;

F =G \cdot \dfrac{m_{1} \cdot m_{2}}{r^{2}}

Where;

F = The gravitational force between m₁ and m₂

G = The universal gravitational constant = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²

r₂ = 0.1 m + 0.15 m = 0.25 m

Therefore, we have;

F = 6.67430 \times 10^{-11} \ N \cdot m^2/kg \times \dfrac{20 \ kg\times 50 \ kg}{(0.1 \ m+ 0.15 \ m)^{2}} \approx 1.06789 \times 10^{-6} \ N

The gravitational force between m₁ and m₂, F ≈ 1.06789 × 10⁻⁶ N

4. Una cuerda de acero de piano mide 1.60 m de longitud y 0.20 cm de diámetro. ¿Cuál es la tensión en la cuerda si se estira 0.2
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

1030.83\ \text{N}

Explanation:

\Delta L = Cambio en la longitud de la cuerda = 0.25 cm

T = tensión en cuerda

A = Área de la cadena = \dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2

d = Diámetro de la cuerda = 0.2 cm

L = Longitud original de la cuerda = 1.6 m

El cambio de longitud de una cuerda viene dado por

\Delta L=\dfrac{TL}{AE}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{\Delta LAE}{L}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{0.25\times 10^{-2}\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}(0.2\times 10^{-2})^2\times 210\times 10^9}{1.6}\\\Rightarrow T=1030.84\ \text{N}

La tensión en la cuerda es 1030.84\ \text{N}.

The sun will probably end up as a white dwarf. How will it be different then from what it is today
just olya [345]

Answer:

The differences that will be observed are;

1) The Sun will become faint and will no longer be yellow but rather appear white and will no longer be visible (become invisible) by unassisted vision as we can see the Sun today

2) The size of the Sun will shrink to a size comparable to the size of the Earth

3) The Sun will cool down and will no longer radiate as much heat

4) The nuclear reactions that generate energy on the Sun's will seize and the and the heat from the Sun will be from residual thermal energy

5) The core, which is the hottest part of the Sun will no longer be hydrogen but carbon and oxygen
