Answer:

Original Weight = 48 N

Explanation:

When an object hanging from the roof of an elevator and the elevator moves upward with a certain acceleration say a, then the observe weight is always greater than the actual weight.

And when elevator moves downward direction with acceleration a, then the observe weight is always lesser than the actual weight.

Given data:

a = 2.45 m/s²

Balance reading = Tension = T = 60 N

As elevator moves upward,

So,

               T = m(g + a)

         60 N = m(9.81 + 2.45)

               m = 60/12.26

               m = 4.89 kg

This is the original mass of the hanging fish.

We know that

                Weight = W = mg

                                W = 4.89 × 9.81

                                W = 48 N

What are some indicators of energy transformations?
Annette [7]

Explanation:

Contact, vision, sound, flavor, and smell are all markers of energy transformations. The most basic example would be when we notice something has begun to pass through vision. Whenever an entity accelerates or slows down, energy is constantly transformed.

An initially uncharged 3.67 μF capacitor and a 8.01 k Ω resistor are connected in series to a 1.50 V battery that has negligible
inn [45]

Answer:

The initial current in the circuit is 0.1873 mA

Explanation:

Given;

capacitance is given as 3.67 x 10⁻⁶ F

resistance is given as 8010 Ω

voltage across the circuit is 1.5 V

Since the capacitor is initially uncharged, the capacitive reactance is zero.

From ohms law;

Voltage across the circuit is directly proportional to the opposition to the flow of current.

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 1.5/8010

I = 0.0001873 A = 0.1873 mA

Therefore, the initial current in the circuit is 0.1873 mA
