A person is standing on a scale placed on the floor of an elevator. At time t1, the elevator is at rest and the reading on the s

cale is 500N. At a later time t2, the person is still standing on the scale and the reading on the scale is 400N . Based on the scale readings, which of the following statements about the motion of the elevator could be true at time t2?
a. The elevator is moving upward at constant speed.
b. The elevator is moving upward and slowing down.
c. The elevator is moving downward at constant speed.
d. The elevator is moving downward and slowing down.

the following statements about the motion of the elevator could be true at time t2 is

c. The elevator is moving downward at constant speed.

Explanation:

  • Under given situation, the elevator is at rest and the reading on the scale is 500N.
  • After some time t2, the person is still standing on the scale and the reading on the scale is 400N .
  • It is because if you stand on a scale in an elevator which is accelerating upward, your body will feel heavier because the elevator's floor pressure which presses harder on your feet, and this is why the scale will show a higher reading than the time when the elevator is at rest.
  • Similarly on the other hand, when the elevator accelerates downward, your body will feel lighter. The force which is exerted by the scale is called as the apparent weight; which means it does not change with constant speed.
  • Applying Newton's second law, which concludes about this particular statement about force exerted on a body when at rest and when in motion.

A reaction has a rate constant of 0.0117 s-1 at 400.0 k and 0.689 s-1 at 450.0 k. calculate the activation energy in kilojoules
Zina [86]
By definition we have to:
 LOG (k2 / k1)=(-Ea/R)*(1/T1-1/T2)
 Where,
 k1 = 0.0117 s-1
 K2 = 0.689 s-1
 T1 = 400.0 k
 T2 = 450.0 k
 R is the ideal gas constant
 R = 8.314 KJ / (Kmol * K)
 Substituting
 ln (0.0117/0.689)=-Ea/(8.314)*((1/400)-(1/450))
 Clearing Ea:
 Ea = 122 kJ
 answer
<span> the activation energy in kilojoules for this reaction is
</span> Ea = 122 kJ

What would the charge of an atom be if it has six protons and six electrons
disa [49]
<span>Carbon atom showing 6 protons as electro positive charge in its nuclei should have same no of -ve charged electrons , that is 6 electronns in its radii to make an atom of C as a neutral element , for that each element in its atomic state should have equal no of protons and electrons , the no of neutrons which has no electric charge and almost negligible weight does play significant role except contributes to isotopes of the given atom or an element, so C atom having 6 protons should have 6 electrons</span>

A sound wave with a power of 8.8 × 10–4 W leaves a speaker and passes through section A, which has an area of 5.0 m2. What is th
statuscvo [17]
The intensity of the sound wave is defined as the ratio between the power of the wave and the area through which the wave passes:
I= \frac{P}{A}
where
I is the intensity
P is the power
A is the area

If we use the data of the problem, P=8.8 \cdot 10^{-4}W and A=5.0 m^2, we find the intensity of the sound wave:
I= \frac{P}{A}= \frac{8.8 \cdot 10^{-4} W}{5.0 m^2}=1.76 \cdot 10^{-4} W/m^2

What happens to an electromagnetic wave as it passes from space to matter?
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

When an electromagnetic wave passes from space to matter, some part of the energy is absorbed by the matter and it increases its energy. The wave may reflect and some part may pass through the matter depending on the amount of energy they have. The amplitude of the wave decreases if some parts of it are reflected.
