An elevator is moving downward when someone presses the emergency stop button. The elevator comes to rest a short time later. Gi

ve the signs for the velocity and the acceleration of the elevator after the button has been pressed but before the elevator has stopped. Enter the correct sign for the elevator's velocity and the correct sign for the elevator's acceleration, separated by a comma. For example, if you think that the velocity is positive and the acceleration is negative, then you would enter ,- . If you think that both are zero, then you would enter 0,0 .

Answer:

The answer is -,+ that is minus, plus

Explanation:

In the question, the elevator was described as moving downward, therefore its direction is negative. (-)  

From the question we could tell the elevator is decelerating, so the acceleration vector should be pointing upward, in contrast with the motion of the elevator.(+)

<h3>VELOCITY </h3>

Velocity is a vector quantity that indicates how fast an object is moving and in what direction, it has to do with and object’s displacement, time, and direction. The SI unit of velocity is meter per second (m/s). It should not be confused with speed which is a scalar quantity and measures on distance moved without stating what direction it moves.  

For instance, it would not be enough to say that the car has a velocity of 50 miles/hr. the direction in which the car moves must be included to fully describe the velocity of the car. The correct way would be the car has a velocity of 50 miles/hour East.

<h3>ACCELERATION </h3>

In physics, acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. By altering an object’s speed or direction which changes its velocity hence its acceleration. Just like velocity, acceleration is a vector quantity. The SI unit of acceleration is meter per second squared (m/s^2)

Frame S' passes frame S in the usual way (positive directions). An object also moves in the positive direction. Which is true? T
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The answer is "The object's speed relative to S can be greater than or less than its speed relative to S', depending on the actual values."

Explanation:

The S' frame and the object are moving in a positive direction. The object is moving with respect to the S frame so the S frame the rest frame

take the velocity of the object with respect to the rest frame as v and the velocity of the S' frame with respect S frame as v2

relative velocity of the object to the S' frame would be

Vrel = v2- v

This means the Vrel of the object with respect to the S' frame is less than the Vrel  of the object with respect to the S frame

However is the S' velocity is greater than that of the object then the Vrel of the object with respect to the S' frame is greater than the Vrel of the object with respect to the S frame.

This would mean the second option is the answer, the relative speed of the object depends on the actual values.

Answer:

1) a radio are uses by astronomy

2) 6 bilion waves

3) expert vertified

Explanation:

1) in contrast to an "ordinary" telescope, which receives visible light, a radio telescope "sees" radio waves emitted by radio sources, typically by means of a large parabolic ("dish") antenna, or arrays of them.and Radio telescopes are also the primary means to track space probes, and are used in the SETI project. so must been

radio are almostly

ceiver by astronomy

2) Radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.

3)Expert Verified

Radio telescopes are telescopes that are specially designed for observation of long light wavelengths

1pt A cannon fires a 5-kg ball horizontally from a
Klio2033 [76]

Answer: Both cannonballs will hit the ground at the same time.

Explanation:

Suppose that a given object is on the air. The only force acting on the object (if we ignore air friction and such) will be the gravitational force.

then the acceleration equation is only on the vertical axis, and can be written as:

a(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)

Now, to get the vertical velocity equation, we need to integrate over time.

v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t + v0

Where v0 is the initial velocity of the object in the vertical axis.

if the object is dropped (or it only has initial velocity on the horizontal axis) then v0 = 0m/s

and:

v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t

Now, if two objects are initially at the same height (both cannonballs start 1 m above the ground)

And both objects have the same vertical velocity, we can conclude that both objects will hit the ground at the same time.

You can notice that the fact that one ball is fired horizontally and the other is only dropped does not affect this, because we only analyze the vertical problem, not the horizontal one. (This is something useful to remember, we can separate the vertical and horizontal movement in these type of problems)
