Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2450 \ Newtons }}

Explanation:

The elevator is falling freely and the only force acting on it is weight. So,  calculate the weight.

We can do this by multiplying the mass by the acceleration of gravity.

W=m*g

The mass of the elevator is 250 kilograms and the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 meters per second squared.

m= 250 \ kg \\g= 9.8 \ m/s^2

Substitute the values into the formula.

W= 250 \ kg * 9.8 \ m/s^2

Multiply.

W=2450 \ kg*m/s^2

  • 1 kilogram meter per second squared is equal to 1 Newton
  • So, our answer of 2450 kg*m/s² is equal to 2450 N

W= 2450 \ N

The force of weight on the elevator is <u>2450 Newtons</u>

Answer:

Since it is falling freely, the only force on it is its weight, w.

w = m × g = 250 kg × 9.8 m/s^2 = 2450 Newton/N

One way to cool a gas is to let it expand. When a certain gas under a pressure of 5.00 x 10^6 Pa at 25.°C is allowed to expand t
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The final temperature is T2= 5.35°C

Explanation:

Apply the Gay-lussacs's law we have

\frac{P1}{T1} = \frac{P2}{T2}

P1, initial pressure= 5.00 x 10^6 Pa

T1, initiation temperature= 25.°C

P2, final pressure= 1.07 x 10^6 Pa

T2, final temperature= ?

\frac{5.00 * 10^6}{25} =\frac{1.07 *10^6}{T2} \\

Cross multiplying and making T2 subject of formula we have

T2 =\frac{1.07 *10^6*25}{5.00 * 10^6} \\\\T2= \frac{26.75}{5} \\T2= 5.35

T2= 5.35°C

Why do you lurch forward in a bus that suddenly slows? why do you lurch backward when it picks up speed? what law applies here?
AveGali [126]
The law applied here is Newton's first law, also known as, law of inertia.
This law states that: A body will retain its state of rest or motion unless acted upon by an external force.

If you are moving and the bus suddenly stops, your body will lurch forward trying to retain its state of motion until it comes to rest and changes its state by the external force acted on it.

If you are at rest and the bus suddenly moves, your body will lurch backwards trying to retain its state of rest and opposing the force of motion until it is forced to change its state by this force.

lesantik [10]

Answer:

The pole stores elastic potential energy when the pole is bent because its shape is change from its natural shape and it will want to go back to its original form, just like a spring or stretched elastic material.
