Suppose you are in an elevator that is moving upward. As the elevator nears the floor at which you will get off, its speed slows

down. During this time when the elevator is moving upward with decreasing speed, your weight will be __________.
Physics

kozerog [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Less than your normal weight at rest

Explanation:

When the elevator is moving upwards with decreasing speed it means that the elevator is decelerating, thus the weight is lower than normal even though you are being pulled down with gravity acceleration.However, remember that your normal force is equal to your weight when the elevator is accelerating upwards,  you feel a little heavier than usual and a little litter if the elevator is accelerating downwards.

A person drives to the top of a mountain. On the way up, the person’s ears fail to “pop,” or equalize the pressure of the inner
KATRIN_1 [288]
The pressure on the inner ear is calculated by subtracting the pressure of the atmosphere of the bottom from the top, so calculating this will give us: 1.010x10^5 - .998x10^5 = 1200Pa outward which would be letter A.
And so the net force would be now calculated as P*A = 1200Pa*π*(0.40x10^-2m)^2 = 0.0603N

Rays of light strike a bumpy road and are reflected.
nekit [7.7K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Each will reflect at an angle equal to its angle of incidence.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>When light hits a surface or a boundary it bounces of the surface a phenomenon called reflection, which is a property of waves. Reflection occurs such that the incidence angle is equal to the angle of reflection.</u></em>
  • Reflection of light depends on whether the surface is smooth or rough. When the light hits a smooth surface it bounces off the surface and all the rays of light moves in the same direction, this type of reflection is called specular reflection.
  • On the other hand , when right rays hits a rough surface the rays bounces off the surface and the rays move in different directions, a type of reflection called diffuse reflection.

The radioactive element radium (Ra) decays by a process known asalpha decay,in which the nucleus emits a helium nucleus. (Factoi
tamaranim1 [39]

<u>Answer:</u> The energy released in the decay process is 4.6800\times 10^{11}J

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation for the alpha decay of Ra-226 follows:

_{88}^{226}\textrm{Ra}\rightarrow _{2}^{4}\textrm{He}+_{86}^{222}\textrm{Rn}

To calculate the mass defect, we use the equation:

Mass defect = Sum of mass of product - Sum of mass of reactant

\Delta m=(m_{Rn}+m_{He})-(m_{Ra})

We know that:

m_{Rn}=222.0176u\\m_{Ra}=226.0254u\\m_{He}=4.0026u

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta m=(222.0176+4.0026)-(226.0254)=-0.0052g=-5.2\times 10^{-6}kg

(Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000 g )

To calculate the energy released, we use Einstein equation, which is:

E=\Delta mc^2

E=(-5.2\times 10^{-6}kg)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)^2

E=-4.6800\times 10^{11}J

Hence, the energy released in the decay process is 4.6800\times 10^{11}J

What could be a possible explanation why tectonic plates do not all move in the same direction
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

tectonic plates move in opposite direction

Tectonic plates are not necessarily moving in opposite directions, but if there directions are different they form plate boundaries. If they were moving in the same direction they would become the same plate. The more opposite the direction, the more obvious the fault.

Examples of plate boundaries:

Divergent: moving away from each other - mid-Atlantic ridge

Convergent: moving towards each other - the Himalayas (Indian plate subducting under the Eurasian plate forcing up the mountains)

Transform: sliding laterally along each other - San Andreas fault
