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

At a distance of 41 ft , an ionizing radiation source delivers 5.0 rem of radiation. How close could you get to the source and s
mash [69]

Answer:

at distance 18.33 ft no biological effects

Explanation:

given data

distance = 41 ft

radiation = 5 rem

to find out

how close get so no biological effects

solution

we know here that intensity of radiation R is inversely proportional to (radiation)²

so here equation will be

\frac{I1}{I2}  = (\frac{R2}{R1})^{2}   .............1

here I is intensity

so here I1 = 25

because for  0 to 25 there is  no detectable effects and for 25 to 100 it will . temporary decrease so

we take 25 because dose is less than 25 so we take that highest value

so

\frac{I1}{I2}  = (\frac{R2}{R1})^{2}

\frac{25}{5}  = (\frac{41}{R1})^{2}

R1 = 18.33 ft

so at distance 18.33 ft no biological effects

Which of the following is an example of energy changing from one form to another?
Anastaziya [24]

The correct option is

a fire


In fact, a fire is a conversion of chemical energy (contained in the molecules of the initial substances) into thermal energy (the heat released by the fire itself), therefore this is an example of energy changing from one form to another. All the other objects, instead, do not represent any form of energy conversion.

jarptica [38.1K]
The term that is being described above is our CONSCIOUSNESS. When we are conscious, we are fully aware of what we are thinking in any given moment like our thoughts, feelings, memories, and even our sensations. Being conscious makes us feel that we are capable of doing and feeling something for the moment.

A uniform rod of length L is pivoted at L/4 from one end. It is pulled to one side through a very small angle and allowed to osc
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

T= 4.24sec

Explanation:

We are going to use the formula below to calculate.

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }

Where T is period

           L is length of rod

       g is acceleration due to gravity =     9.8m/s^{2}

From the problem, the rod is pivoted at 1/4L which means that three quarter of the rod was used for the oscillation. lets call this L_{O}

L_{O} = 3/4 * 5.95m

        = 4.4625m

thus   T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_{O} }{g} }

          T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{4.4625 }{9.8} }

          T= 4.24sec

The wavelengths of terrestrial radiation from earth's surface are concentrated in _____.
Lady bird [3.3K]

The wavelengths of terrestrial radiation from earth's surface are concentrated in thermal infrared spectrum.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The wavelengths used in thermal infrared are in the range of micrometer ranging from 8 to 15. Terrestrial radiation is defined as the radiation that is originating from earth due to radioactive materials like uranium, thorium e.t.c.

Increase in terrestrial radiation by the use of radioactive materials will consequently increase global warming as it releases green house gases thereby degrading the quality of earth's atmosphere.
