I'm walking 1.6m/s to 7-11 and it started to rain so I sped up to 2.7m/s in 1.2

Answer:

Explanation:

$a = \frac{v_f-v_0}{t}$ which is the final velocity minus the initial velocity in the numerator, and the change in time in the denominator. For us:

$a=\frac{2.7-1.6}{1.2}$ so

a = .92 m/s/s (NOT negative because you're speeding up)

You know your mass is 62 kg but when you stand on a bathroom scale in an elevator it says your mass is 77 kg what is the acceler

lbvjy [14]

In a stationary situation, the weight of person is
$W=mg=(62 kg)(9.81 m/s^2) = 608.2 N$
This is the weight "felt" by the scale, which is basically the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which uses the value of g (9.81) as reference to convert the weight (602.8 N) into a mass (62 kg).

When the person is in the elevator, the scale says 77 kg. The scale is still using the same value of conversion (9.81), so the apparent weight "felt" by the scale is
$W' = m'g=(77 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=755.4 N$
This is the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which is directed upward. Besides this force, there is still the weight W of the person, acting downward. So, if we use Newton's second law:
$\sum F = ma$
$W-W'=ma$
where a is the acceleration of the elevator. If we solve for a, we find
$a= \frac{W-W'}{m}= \frac{608.2N-755.4N}{62 kg}=-2.37 m/s^2$
The negative sign means the acceleration is in the opposite direction of g (which we take positive), so it means the elevator is going upward.

a girl that has a mass of 55kg is standing on a floor, how much supporting force does the floor have?

KengaRu [80]

A girl standing on a floor would have two opposite forces acting on it. These forces are the weight and the normal force. Since no other forces are acting and that the girl is at rest, then the weight must equate to the normal force. Therefore, the supporting force would be:

F = mg = 55kg (9.81 m/s^2) = 539.55 N

If you double the distance between you and the center of Earth, what happens to the strength of the gravitational field you expe

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The strength of gravity decreases.

An example of that would be if you were in space; you float around because there's no gravity.

A source at rest emits light of wavelength 500 nm. When it is moving at 0.90c toward an observer, the observer detects light of

Vesna [10]

Answer:

The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.

(b) is correct option

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of source = 500 nm

Velocity = 0.90 c

We need to calculate the wavelength of observer

Using Doppler effect

$\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\beta}{1+\beta}}\lambda_{s}$

Where, $\beta=\dfrac{c}{v}$

$\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{c-0.90c}{c+0.90c}}\times500\times10^{-9}$

$\lambda_{o}=115\ nm$

Hence, The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.

When you changed from low to high power, how did the change affect the working distance of the lens?

Basile [38]

The working distance gets shorter as the magnification gets bigger. In order to focus, the high-power objective lens must be significantly nearer to the specimen than the low-power lens. Magnification is negatively correlated with working distance.

Magnification change The magnification of a specimen is increased by switching from low power to high power. The magnification of an image is determined by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the ocular lens, or eyepiece.

The geometry of the optical system connects the magnifying power, or how much the thing being observed seems expanded, and the field of view, or the size of the object that can be seen.
