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.

Is this true or false ethics deals with morals and values and can be measured and tested using the scientific method.
sammy [17]

This is false. Even though the first part is true, the second isn't because morals and values are simply widely accepted opinions that most humans have, and you can't test opinions with the scientific method, only facts!

How does the pupillary response prevent injury? What would happen without it?
Aleksandr [31]
Pupils dilate and constrict in order to allow an adequate amount of light to pass through the retina and vision. If there is not enough light and the pupils do not dilate, a small amount of light will pass to the retina and the vision will be damaged.

During nuclear fission and fusion, matter that seems to disappear is actually converted into
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Energy (I need one more brainlist can i has?)

Explanation:

- Nuclear fusion occurs when two light nuclei fuse together into a heavier nucleus

- Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy, unstable nucleus breaks apart into two or more lighter nuclei

In both processes, the mass of the products is always smaller than the mass of the initial nuclei. This means that part of the initial mass has been converted into something else: into energy, which is released in the process.

The amount of energy released in the process can be calculated by using the famous Einstein's equivalence:

where m is the difference between the mass of the product and the initial mass of the nuclei, and c is the speed of light.
