A is the answer to the question
Answer:
118 N
Explanation:
Given mass of the block, m = 4.00kg.
The acceleration of the elevator, a = 3.0 m/s^2.
As elevotar attaced with spring scale and accelerating upward
(block and elevator), so total force

Here, mg is the weight of the block downward direction.
or

substitute the given value, we get

= 117.6 N = 118 N.
Thus, the reading on the spring scale to 3 significant figures is 118 N.
Acceleration can be any change in speed, increasing or decreasing.
You haven't said whether the ball is speeding up or slowing down.
If its acceleration is positive ... speed is increasing ... then in 2.5 seconds,
it GAINS (0.5 m/s² x 2.5 sec) = 2.5 m/s of speed. Added to its initial
speed of 2.0 m/s, it ends up moving at 4.5 m/s.
If its acceleration is negative ... speed is decreasing ... then in 2.5 seconds,
it LOSES (0.5 m/s² x 2.5 sec) = 2.5 m/s of speed. Added to its initial
speed of 2.0 m/s, it ends up moving at -0.5 m/s. That means that it ends up
moving in the opposite direction compared to its direction at the beginning of
the change.
Speed= (frequency) x (wavelength)
= (2 per second) x (5 cm) = <em><u>10 cm/sec .</u></em>
