.You have always been impressed by the speed of the elevators in your apartment building. You wonder about the maximum accelerat

ion for these elevators during normal operation, so you decide to measure it by using your bathroom scale. While the elevator is at rest on the ground floor,you get in, put down your scale, and stand on it. The scale reads 50 kg. You continue standing on the scale when the elevator goes up, carefully watching the reading. During the trip to the 10th floor, the greatest scale reading was

Answer:

5.51 m/s^2

Explanation:

Initial scale reading = 50 kg  

assume the greatest scale reading = 78.09 kg

<u>Determine the maximum acceleration for these elevators</u>

At rest the weight is = 50 kg

Weight ( F ) = mg = 50 * 9.81 = 490.5 N<u> </u>

<u> </u>At the 10th floor weight = 78.09 kg

Weight at 10th floor ( F ) = 78.09 * 9.81 = 766.11 N

F = change in weight

Change in weight( F ) = ma = 766.11 - 490.5 (we will take the mass as the starting mass as that mass is calculated when the body is at rest)

50 * a = 275.61

Hence the maximum acceleration ( a ) = 275.61 / 50 = 5.51 m/s^2

An object in circular motion has velocity that is constantly changing. The direction of the acceleration is
Keith_Richards [23]
<h2>Answer: Toward the center of the circle.</h2>

This situation is characteristic of the uniform circular motion , in which the movement of a body describes a circumference of a given radius with constant speed.  

However, in this movement the velocity has a constant magnitude, but its direction varies continuously.

Let's say \vec{V} is the velocity vector, whose direction is perpendicular to the radius r of the trajectory, therefore   the acceleration \vec{a} is directed toward the center of the circumference.

An electron in a mercury atom drops
aksik [14]

Since the electron dropped from an energy level i to the ground state by emitting a single photon, this photon has an energy of 1.41 × 10⁻¹⁸ Joules.

<h3>How to calculate the photon energy?</h3>

In order to determine the photon energy of an electron, you should apply Planck-Einstein's equation.

Mathematically, the Planck-Einstein equation can be calculated by using this formula:

E = hf

<u>Where:</u>

  • h is Planck constant.
  • f is photon frequency.

In this scenario, this photon has an energy of 1.41 × 10⁻¹⁸ Joules because the electron dropped from an energy level i to the ground state by emitting a single photon.
