Answer:

23.0 s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 19.8 m/s

a = 4.80 m/s²

Find: Δx and t

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(19.8 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (4.80 m/s²) Δx

Δx = 40.84 m

v = at + v₀

19.8 m/s = (4.80 m/s²) t + 0 m/s

t = 4.125 s

The elevator takes 40.84 m and 4.125 s to accelerate, and therefore also 40.84 m and 4.125 s to decelerate.

That leaves 291.3 m to travel at top speed.  The time it takes is:

291.3 m / (19.8 m/s) = 14.71 s

The total time is 4.125 s + 14.71 s + 4.125 s = 23.0 s.

Which type of bone is this <br>covalent bond<br>hydrogen bond <br>ionic bond​
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Explanation:A covalent bond is formed when electrons are shared between non-metal atoms, and the positive nuclei are attracted towards the pair of negative bonded electrons. ... Hence, the hydrogen bond is weaker than ionic and covalent bonds. Example: Water molecules are held to each other by intermolecular forces of attraction.

Why is the same side of the Moon always visible from Earth?
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer

The true fact is that C is what happens in outer space.  Both rotations take 27.3 days.  

A: The exact opposite is true. It does rotate about it's axis.

B: Again this is just plain false. Given the way we observe it, the moon must be rotating around the earth.

D. they don't. 27.3 hours and 24 hours are not the same.

Why are high tides found simultaneously on opposite sides of earth?
dexar [7]

Explanation:

Why are high tides found simultaneously on opposite sides of Earth? The tidal bulges occur on both sides of Earth that are aligned with the tide-generating body. The ocean water experiencing high tide rotates around Earth on a 12-hour cycle.

A materials density is the same , no matter how large or small the sample is or what it’s shape is as long as it is solid unifor
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

Density is defined as the relationship between mass and volume, i.e. the following equation can be used:

density = m/v

where:

density [kg/m^3]

m = mass [kg]

v = volume [m^3]

If we change the volume of a body by reducing its size, its mass will also decrease proportionally with a density as seen in the equation.

m = density*v

To understand this concept more clearly, let's use the following example:

We know that the density of water is equal to 1000 [kg/m^3], that is, 1 cubic meter of water contains 1000 kilograms of water, using the equation.

1000 = m /1

m = 1000*1 = 1000 [kg]

Now if we have 500 kilograms of water, that would pass with the volume so that the density remains constant.

1000 = 500/v

v = 500/1000

v = 0.5 [m^3]

We can see that the volume of water has halved. Since the mass of water was reduced by half. That is, the relationship between mass and volume is proportional to the density of the material or substance.
