An elevator is initially moving upward at a speed of 12.00 m/s. the elevator experiences a constant downward acceleration of mag

nitude 4.00 m/s2 for 3.00 s. (a) find the magnitude and direction of the elevator’s final velocity. (b) how far did it move during the 3.00 s interval?

The two equations used in this problem is from the derived equations of rectilinear motion at a constant acceleration. 

a = (v - v₀)/t
2ax = v² - v₀²
where
a is the acceleration
x is the distance 
v is the final velocity
v₀ is the initial velocity
t is the time

Part a.) The acceleration is negative because it is moving downward: a = -4 m/s². The initial velocity is v₀ = 12 m/s and t is 3 s.

-4 = (v - 12)/3
v = 0 m/s
Thus, after 3 seconds the elevator comes to a stop.

Part b.) 

2(-4)x = 0² - 12²
x = 18 m
The elevator has traveled a distance of 18 m within 3 seconds.

The particles that carry charge through wires in a circuit are mobile electrons. The electric field direction within a circuit is by definition the direction that positive test charges are pushed. Thus, these negatively charged electrons move in the direction opposite the electric field.

10-kg box is sliding across an ice rink at 10 m/s . A skater exerts a constant force of 10 N against it. How long will it take f
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Time, t = 10 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 10kg

Force = 10N

Final velocity = 10m/s

Initial velocity = 0m/s

To find the time;

First of all, we would find the acceleration of the box.

Force = mass * acceleration

10 = 10 * acceleration

Acceleration = 10/10 = 1m/s²

Now, we can find the time by using the first equation of motion;

V = U + at

10 = 0 + 1t

10 = t

Time, t = 10 seconds

Therefore, it will take 10 seconds for the box to come to a complete stop.

The state in which a star's gravitational collapse is balanced between gravity pushing inward and gas pressure pushing outward i
Andrew [12]
The relation between temperature and pressure is called the "equation of state of the gas". or "Hydrostatic equilibrium in ordinary star". Take for example a balloon, it will have a larger spherical shape, if the pressure inside exerted by the gas on a wall of a balloon balance the inward force exerted by the outside atmospheric pressure.  In a dying star which is being compressed by gravity, the gas is being squeezed so the molecules is moving rapidly, resulting to a very high temperature, and this provide a balance that counteract or balances the compressive force of gravity. The very high temperature inside the star is needed to balance the force of gravity, and it is provide by "nuclear fusion energy" or else the star would collapse under the force of gravity. Depending on the size or mass of the star, it will either become, a "neutron star" or a "black hole".

Let's apply Snell's law to the refraction of light across a water–air interface. Suppose you kneel beside the fishpond in your b
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The angle of refraction is 41.68°.

Explanation:

The refractive index for water is n_2 = 1.333, and for air n_1 = 1.00: the angle of light with the normal is 90^o-60^o = 30^o; therefore Snell's law gives

n_1sin(\theta_1)= n_2sin(\theta_2)

1.00*sin(\theta_1) = 1.33 sin(30^o)

sin (\theta_1) = \dfrac{1.33sin(30^o)}{1.00}

sin (\theta_1) = 0.665

\theta _1 = sin^{-1}(0.665)

\boxed{\theta_1 = 41.68^o}
