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

Answer:

1) solvent

2) liquid-solid

3) gas - gas

Explanation:

1) A solution is the homogenous mixture of two or more substances in such a way that its components are uniformly distributed. In any solution, the solvent make up the greatest quantity or volume while the solute is of lesser quantity.

2) liquid-solid is the most common type of solution.

3) A gas solution can be a gas dissolved in a gas, or a liquid dissolved in a gas, or a solid dissolved in a gas.  Air is a gas - gas solution, it is composed of oxygen and other dissolved gases in nitrogen
