Physics

sergejj [24]3 years ago
8 0

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>

Susan, driving north at 53 mphmph , and Shawn, driving east at 63 mphmph , are approaching an intersection. Part A What is Shawn
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Shawn's speed relative to Susan's speed = 10 mph

Resultant velocity = 82.32 mph

Explanation:

The given data :-

i) Susan driving in north and speed of Susan is ( v₁ ) = 53 mph.

ii) Shawn driving in east and speed of Shawn is ( v₂ ) = 63 mph.

iii) The speed of both Susan and Shawn is relative to earth.

iv) The angle between Susan in north and Shawn in east is 90°.

We have to find Shawn's speed relative to Susan's speed.

v₂₁ = v₂ - v₁   = 63 - 53 = 10 mph

Resultant velocity,

v = \sqrt{v_{2} ^{2}+ v_{1} ^{2}  }  =\sqrt{63^{2} +53^{2} }

v = 82.32 mph

A force of 100 newtons is used to move an object a distance of 15 meters with a power of 25 watts. Find the
valentina_108 [34]


work is distance * force so 15*100=1500

and to find time you know power = diastance * force / time

so 25=15*100/t

25=1500/t

25/1500=t

.016=time

Ions can have a positive or negative charge. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F
mixas84 [53]

From among the choices provided, the more appropriate
answer is ' T ', the initial letter often used to represent
words that include 'true', 'truth', 'trust', etc., (as well as
'tree', 'train', 'transmit', 'Transylvania', 'trachea', 'travesty',
and 'trick', which are irrelevant to the present discussion).

This response is the most fitting and appropriate, because
the statement that precedes the list of allowable choices is
exemplary in its accuracy and veracity.  An ion can, in fact,
have a positive or negative charge, although the same ion
cannot have both.

Which statement describes a scientific theory?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

A theory changes based on new observations and testing.

Explanation:

A scientific theory is a product of multiple trials and repeated experiments. It usually follows after carefully conducting and testing the validity of the hypothesis.

A scientific theory provides an explanation into how something behaves.

A law just states a finding will not explain it.

Most theories are tenable and can be improved upon when new observations and testing are carried out.

Only the sun and other stars in space generate these kinds of waves:
Reika [66]

Answer:

<h2>Ultraviolet Waves.</h2>

Explanation:

The Sun emits waves called "Solar Waves", which have a wavelengths between 160 and 400 nanometers. According to the electromagnetic spectrum, these waves are defined as Ultraviolet, which have a frequency around the order of 10^{16}, which is really intense and high energy.

Therefore, the answer is Ultraviolet Waves.
