study a 75kg person stands on a scale in an elevator what does read in n and in kg when the elevator is at rest?
1 answer:
To solve this problem we will use Newton's second law in order to obtain the weight of a person. The second law tells us that
F = ma
Where,
m = mass
a = Acceleration
In this particular case, the acceleration is equal to that exerted by the earth through gravitational acceleration, so if the person's weight is 75Kg and the gravity is , the weight of the body will be,
When the elevator is at rest this reads 735.75N and 75Kg (The same mass of the person)

Answer and Explanation:
The light that comes from the sun is called white light. Actually white light is a mixture of lights of different colors. When we look at the rainbow we can see the colors that make up the white light. This phenomenon, known as dispersion, occurs when a ray of composite light is refracted (refraction) in some medium, and its constituent colors are separated.
I attached you I picture where you can see this process
Basically, when the light passes through a glass prism, the different wavelengths that make up the beam of light travel inside it at different speeds and curl differently when entering and leaving resulting in a beam deviated from the initial direction and with its separate components.

The answer is below
Explanation:
The maximum height (h) of a projectile with an initial velocity of u, acceleration due to gravity g and at an angle θ with the horizontal is given as:
Given that the two projectile has the same height.
