Answer:

3.1 kg

Explanation:

Applying,

R = m(g-a)..................... Equation 1

Where R = weight of the scale when the elevator is coming down, a = acceleration of the elevator, g = acceleration due to gravith.

From the question,

Given: m = 5 kg, a = 3.8 m/s²

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

R = 5(9.8-3.8)

R = 5(6)

R = 30 N

Hence the spring scale is

m' = R/g

m' = 30/9.8

m' = 3.1 kg

What is the resistance at 20°C of a 2.0-meter length of tungsten wire with a cross-sectional area of 7.9 10^-7
Bad White [126]

Answer:

1.4 * 10 ^-1 Ω

Explanation:

Hi,

For this question, we gotta use the formula

R = pL/A

p = The resistivity of your material at 20°C

L = length of the wire

A = cross-sectional area

The resistivity of tungsten is 5.60 * 10^-8 at 20°C

By plugging the values, we get:

R = (5.60 * 10^-8)(2.0)/(7.9*10^-7) = 1.4 * 10 ^-1 Ω

Unequal length of day and night<br><br>Rotation or Revolution​
RUDIKE [14]
Rotation. The Earth rotates around the sun on it’s axis. Depending how far north or south you live, and the angle of the sun at different times of year gives you the amount of daylight or darkness you will receive. So the length of day or night depends on how much the sun is able to reach the spot on a round object such as the planet Earth.

student built a simple heat engine that could lift masses. If the heat engine takes in 300 J of heat and loses 50 J to the envir
k0ka [10]

Answer:

So it will lift the mass by h = 17 m

Explanation:

As per energy conservation we know that

Q_1 = W + Q_2

here we know that

Q_1 = 300 J

Q_2 = 50 J

now we have

W = 300 - 50

W = 250 J

so work done by the engine is 250 J

now we have

W = mgh

250 = 1.5 \times 9.81 \times h

h = 17 m
