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.
e. The elevator is at rest.

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.

Alex is asked to move two boxes of books in contact with each other and resting on a rough floor. He decides to move them at the
Over [174]

Answer:

Part a)

a= 0.32 m/s^2

Part b)

F_c = 3.6 N

Part c)

F_c = 5.5 N

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the friction force on two boxes is given as

F_f = \mu m_a g + \mu m_b g

F_f = 0.02(10.6 + 7)9.81

F_f = 3.45 N

Now we know by Newton's II law

F_{net} = ma

so we have

F_p - F_f = (m_a + m_b) a

9.1 - 3.45 = (10.6 + 7) a

a = \frac{5.65}{17.6}

a= 0.32 m/s^2

Part b)

For block B we know that net force on it will push it forward with same acceleration so we have

F_c - F_f = m_b a

F_c = \mu m_b g + m_b a

F_c = 0.02(7)(9.8) + 7(0.32)

F_c = 3.6 N

Part c)

If Alex push from other side then also the acceleration will be same

So for box B we can say that Net force is given as

F_p - F_f - F_c = m_b a

9.1 - 0.02(7)(9.8) - F_c = 7(0.32)

F_c = 9.1 - 0.02 (7)(9.8) - 7(0.32)

F_c = 5.5 N

Distinguish between basic and derived units
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Base units are defined units based on specific objects or events in the physical world. Derived units are defined by combining base units.

Base units are defined by a particular process of measuring a base quantity whereas derived units are defined as algebraic combinations of base units. For example, length is a base quantity in both SI and the English system, but the meter is a base unit in the SI system only.

Does a car have antennae?what senses does it have?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

The ground of an antenna needs to be attached to the car in such a way that the voltage of the antenna can connect to the earth. This connection allows the earth to receive and store excess voltage rather than the extra voltage bouncing back through your antenna and radio.
