Given that,

Weight of man, W= 650 N

Upward force by elevator, F= 620 N

a = ?

Since,

W = mg

m= W/g =650/9.81

m = 66.25 kg

Since,

F = ma

a = F/m

a = 620/66.25

a = 9.35 m/s²

Acceleration will be 9.35 m/s².

Since the force is in upward direction, it will accelerate the body in upward direction.

Answer:Man's acceleration is 0.452 \frac{m}{s^{2}} in downward direction

Explanation:

<em>Weight of man, W= 650 N</em>

<em>Normal force exerted by floor of elevator , N= 620 N</em>

<em>Since weight , W = mg</em>

<em>mass m= \frac{W}{g}=\frac{650}{9.8}kg</em>

<em>Using Newtons 2nd law</em>

<em>W-N= ma     where a= acceleration of man in the downward direction</em>

=> 650-620=\frac{650}{9.8}kg\times a

=> a= 0.452 \frac{m}{s^{2}} <em>in downward direction </em>

To properly operate the laboratory thermometer Group of answer choices it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely

Explanation:

To properly operate the laboratory thermometer  it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely. This done because there is a small bend in the mercury channel of a clinical thermometer that uses mercury. You must shake the thermometer to get the mercury from a previous reading from the thermometer back into the bulb for taking new reading. The bend prevents flow back into the tube so that one can comfortably take reading.
