<h2>Answer:</h2>

3.24m/s^{2}

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Using Newton's law of motion,

F = ma   ..........................(i)

where;

F = net force acting on the object (or body)

m = mass of the object (or body)

a = acceleration of the body.

<em>In this case,</em>

Two forces are acting;

(i)The weight (W) of the man  = m x g = 62 x 10 = 620N

(ii)The tension (T) on the scale of the elevator = 821N

The weight(W) of the man is a downward force while the tension (T) on the scale of the elevator is an upward force. Since the elevator rises upward is positive.

Therefore,

Net force (F) = Total upward force(s) - Total downward force(s)

Net force (F) = 821 - 620

F = 201N

To calculate the acceleration of the elevator,

substitute the values of F = 201N and m = 62 into equation (i) above;

=> F = ma

=> 201 = 62 x a

=> a = 210 / 62

=> a = 3.24m/s^{2}

Therefore the acceleration of the elevator is 3.24m/s^{2}

Answer:

Acceleration of the elevator = 13.242 m/s2.

Explanation:

Force is defined as the push or pull on an object with mass in kg that causes a change velocity. Force as a vector means it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically,

F = M*a

Where

F = force in Newton.

M = mass of the object in kg.

a = acceleration due to gravity in 9.81 m/s2.

Acceleration of the elevator = 821/62

= 13.242 m/s2.

Helga [31]

Answer:

The potential between the plates will decrease.

Explanation:

An insulator is usually placed between the parallel plates and is also called a dielectric because it makes the amount of charge a capacitor can accommodate to increase at a particular potential difference.

Furthermore, the dielectric effect will make the electric field of the charged capacitor which is not connected to a source of supply to decrease.

Now, when the battery is removed, the charge Q remains constant and Capacity C will increase.

Formula for the potential difference is here;

V = Q/C

Since the numerator Q is constant and the denominator C increases, it means the potential difference V will decrease

Answer:

D) 735 J(oules)

Explanation:

Work is defined as force * distance

Force is defined as mass * acceleration

Given a mass of 15 kg and a gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s² since the box is being lifted up, the force being applied to the box is 15 kg * 9.8 m/s² = 147 N

Since the distance is 5 meters, the work done is 147 N * 5 m = 735 N/m = 735 J, making D the correct answer.
