Please answer 11-13. say if i'm right for 10 if you can.

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.

calculate the value of net force acting on given body?5N acting towards right & 15N force acting towards left on the brick.(

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The net force acting on the body is 10N directed to the left.

Explanation:

Magnitude of force to the right = 5N

Magnitude of force to the left = 15N

Net force acting on the object and in what direction;

Solution:

It is the vector sum of all forces acting on a body. This net force is the single force that will replace the forces acting on a body;

For the problem;

Net force = Force to the left + Force to the right

Let us take left to be negative and right to be positive;

Force to the left = -15N

Net force = -15N + 5N = -10N

The net force acting on the body is 10N directed to the left.

Which of the following represents the greatest energy transition from a higher energy level to a lower one?

prohojiy [21]

You need to use Planck's law:
E = h·υ = (h·c)/λ

Without making all the calculations, a fraction is bigger than another when the denominator is smaller. Therefore you need to find the smallest wavelength (λ) which is 450nm.

You could also be helped by colors: in order of decreasing energy, you have blue - green - yellow - red.

In any case, the correct answer is a).

Calculate the maximal friction force for a parked car between the rubber tires and a wet street. Assume the car’s mass is 1600 k

NikAS [45]

Answer:

$Fr=12544N$

Explanation:

1. Find the equation of eht maximal friction force:

The maximal friction force is given by the equation $Fr=usmg$ , where μs is the static friction coefficient, m is the car´s mass and g is the gravitational force.

2. Replace values in the equation to find the answer:

$Fr=0.8*1600kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$Fr=12544N$
