Answer:

B. less than mg

Explanation:

A person's weight changes as he rides an elevator at a constant velocity. If the elevator is moving downward,<u> the person's weight becomes lesser.</u> He is considered to be in "free fall" due to <em>gravity.</em> However, the opposite happens when the elevator goes upward. The person will feel heavier because he is going against gravity. This means his weight is more than his actual weight. If the person will stand on an elevator that doesn't move, his weight will just be the same. All of these is due to <em>Newton's Second Law of Motion</em> where an object's acceleration relies on its <em>force</em> and<em> mass.</em>

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Explanation:

A proton of charge

q=+1.609×10^-19C

Orbit a radius of 12cm

r=0.12m

Magnetic Field of 0.31T

Angle between velocity and field is 90°

a. Because the magnetic force F supplies the centripetal force Fc.

The magnitude of the magnetic force F on a charge q moving at a speed v in a magnetic field of strength B is given by

F = qvB sin θ

And the centripetal force is given as

Fc=mv²/r

Where m is mass of proton

m=1.673×10^-27kg

Then, F=Fc

qvB sin θ=mv²/r

qBSin90=mv/r

rqB=mv

Then, v=rqB/m

v=0.12×1.609×10^-19×0.31/1.673×10^-23

v=3577692.78m/s

v=3.58×10^6m/s

b. Since,

F=qVBSin90

F=1.609×10^-19×3.58×10^6×0.31

F=1.785×10^-13 N.

What is the magnitude of a vector with components (15 m, 8 m)?
il63 [147K]
The answer is 17 m because you have to add the 15 m and the 8 m together to get the answer so it will be like this 17x17 = 15x15 + 8x8 got it?

Which explains how the Coriolis effect causes air circulation?
stira [4]
The Coriolis effect causes air circulation when <span>Air from the equator moves toward the poles slower than the ground below it, so friction causes the air to veer east. In contrast, air from the poles moves toward the equator faster than the ground below it, so friction causes it to veer to the west. The answer is letter A</span>
