<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.

I am really struggling with this question because I can't find anything on aphelion and perihelion, it's not a topic we went ove
Hoochie [10]

I have a strange hunch that there's some more material or previous work
that goes along with this question, which you haven't included here.

I can't easily find the dates of Mercury's extremes, but here's some of the
other data you're looking for:

Distance at Aphelion (point in it's orbit that's farthest from the sun):
<span><span><span><span><span>69,816,900 km
0. 466 697 AU</span>

</span> </span> </span> <span> Distance at Perihelion (</span></span><span>point in it's orbit that's closest to the sun):</span>
<span><span><span><span>46,001,200 km
0.307 499 AU</span> </span>

Perihelion and aphelion are always directly opposite each other in
the orbit, so the time between them is  1/2  of the orbital period.

</span><span>Mercury's Orbital period = <span><span>87.9691 Earth days</span></span></span></span>

1/2 (50%) of that is  43.9845  Earth days

The average of the aphelion and perihelion distances is

     1/2 ( 69,816,900 + 46,001,200 ) = 57,909,050 km
or
     1/2 ( 0.466697 + 0.307499) = 0.387 098  AU
 
This also happens to be 1/2 of the major axis of the elliptical orbit.

Which formula correctly expresses the property density?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Option A

D = m/v

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass per unit volume of an object. Therefore, D=m/v where m is the mass of the object and v is the volume

Therefore, option A is the right option

An echo is heard from a cliff 3.71 s after a rifle is fired. How many feet away is the cliff
LenKa [72]

The cliff is 2042 ft away.

We know that the speed of sound in air is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.

First convert the Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius;

 °C = 5/9(44.5 - 32)

°C = 6.9 °C

Applying the formula;

V1/V2 = √T1/T2

Where; V1 = velocity of sound in air at  0°C

V2 = Velocity of sound in air at 6.9 °C

1087/V2 = √273/279.9

V2= 1101 ft/s

Given that; V = 2s/t

Where s is the distance of the cliff

t is the time taken

1101 ft/s = 2s/3.71 s

s = 1101 ft/s × 3.71 s/2

s = 2042 ft

A parallel plate capacitor is charged up by a battery. The battery is then disconnected, but the charge remains on the plates. T
larisa [96]

Answer:

a. Decreases

b. Increases

c. Remains the same

d. Increases

Explanation:

a. Capacitance is given by c= Ak€/d

where A is conductivity plate with Area

K is a constant

€ is dielectric with permittivity.

d is the distance

b. Potential difference is given by

V = Ed, since, the electric field remains the

same, the potential diterence also increases with increase in distance.

Since the capacitance depends upon the distance, and all the other factors are kept constant, the capacitance decreases.

c. Electric field remains the same because charge on the

plate remains the same.

d. since electric field remains the same and capacitance decreases, the energy increases.

E= 1/2c * Q^2
