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

You observe that a negatively charged plastic pen repels a charged piece of magic tape. You then observe that the same piece of
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

(2) The excess negative charge from the sphere spread out all over your body.

(7) After you touched it, the metal sphere was very nearly neutral.

Explanation:

Plastic pen repels magic tape so magic tape is also  negatively charged . Further , magic tape repels small metal sphere that means small sphere also is negatively charged.

Now when small sphere is touched by a man insulated from ground , the charge is distributed between man and small sphere according to their capacitance .

Since human body will have greater capacitance ,it will acquire larger share of charge . Sphere being of very small size will retain very less charge and it will become almost neutral . Hence it will be   attracted by  charged tape .

The car is accelerating at 3 m/s² in the positive direction (to the right). By Newton's second law, the net force on the car in this direction is

∑ F = F[a] - F[f] - F[air] = ma

3100 N - 200 N - F[air] = (650 kg) (3 m/s²)

Solve for F[air] :

F[air] = 3100 N - 200 N - (650 kg) (3 m/s²)

F[air] = 3100 N - 200 N - 1950 N

F[air] = 950 N

A stone is thrown at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal from the top edge of a cliff with an initial speed of 12 m/s. A
natta225 [31]

v = initial velocity of launch of the stone = 12 m/s

θ = angle of the velocity from the horizontal = 30

Consider the motion of the stone along the vertical direction taking upward direction as positive and down direction as negative.

v₀ = initial velocity along vertical direction = v Sinθ = 12 Sin30 = 6 m/s

a = acceleration of the stone = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel = 4.8 s

Y = vertical displacement of stone = vertical height of the cliff = ?

using the kinematics equation

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

inserting the values

Y = 6 (4.8) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (4.8)²

Y = - 84.1 m

hence the height of the cliff comes out to be 84.1 m
