As part of a physics experiment, you carry a bathroom scale calibrated in newtons onto an elevator and stand on it. At rest, you

check the scale and it reads 588 N. Then the elevator starts accelerating upward at 2.0 m/s2 and you check the reading again. Now what does the scale show

Answer: 708 N

Explanation:

Given

At rest, Elevator reads 588 N

When it starts moving upward at 2\ m/s^2, apparent weight changes

i.e. weight can be given by

\Rightarrow W'=m(g+a)\\\Rightarrow W'=mg+mg\cdot \dfrac{a}{g}\\\\\Rightarrow W'=W\left(1+\dfrac{a}{g}\right)\\\\\Rightarrow W'=588\left(1+\dfrac{2}{9.8}\right)\\\\\Rightarrow W'=707.99\approx 708\ N

The apparent weight is 708 N

Calculate the KE of a 3.1 kg toy cart that moves at 4.8 m/s. Calculate the KE of the same cart at twice the speed.
lisov135 [29]
When v= 4.8 m/s:

E.K=mv²/2
      =3,1(4.8)²/2
      =35.712J

when v= 2(4.8):

E.K=mv²/2
      =3.1(9.6)²/2
      =142.848J

A light shines up from the bottom of a fish pond.
likoan [24]
<span>For the question "A light shines up from the bottom of a fish pond. Which diagram shows the correct path of light as it leaves the water of the pond and hits the air?" The second diagram is the correct answer. Water has a higher refractive index than air so the ray of light passing from water to air will be refracted away from the normal (the vertical) towards the surface of the water.</span>
