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)

A black lift of amber is placed in water and a laser beam travels from the water through the amber. The angle of incidence is 35
horsena [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

refractive index of ember = sin of angle of incidence / sin of angle of refraction

= sin 35 / sin24

= .5735 / .4067

= 1.41

This is refractive index of ember with respect to water

refractive index of ember with respect to water

= wμe = μe / μw

μe = wμe x  μw

= 1.33 x 1.41

= 1.87

refractive index of ember with respect to air = 1.87 .
