Answer:

T = 17649.03 N = 17.65 KN

Explanation:

The tension in the cable must be equal to the apparent weight of the passenger. For upward acceleration:

T = W_A = m(g+a)\\

where,

T = Tension in cable = ?

W_A = Apparent weight

m = mass = 1603 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = acceleration of elevator = 1.2 m/s²

Therefore,

T = (1603\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2+1.2\ m/s^2)\\\\

<u>T = 17649.03 N = 17.65 KN</u>

Find the wavelength of the balmer series spectral line corresponding to n = 15.
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

371.2 mm

Explanation:

The Balmer series of spectral lines is obtained from the formula

1/λ = R(1/2² -1/n²) where λ = wavelength, R = Rydberg's constant = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹

when n = 15

1/λ = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(1/2² -1/15²)

    = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(1/4 -1/225)

    = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(0.25 - 0.0044)

    = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹ 0.245556

    = 2.693 10⁶ m⁻¹

So,

λ  = 1/2.693 10⁶ m⁻¹

    = 0.3712 10⁻⁶ m

    = 371.2 mm

Hello i need answers for this question, i need it asap, thanks!! i will give brainlist ☺️
nalin [4]
When frequency increases more wave crests pass a fixed point each second. That means the wavelength shortens. So, as frequency increases, wavelength decreases. The opposite is also true—as frequency decreases, wavelength increases.

Is a bath tub renewable or not?
Irina18 [472]
The water being poured into the bathtub is renewable and can be recycled, filtered, and renewed. But, metaphorically, each time you use electricity you drain a little water from the "bathtub" or the electric grid.

An ice skater starts with a velocity of 2.25 m/s in a 50.0 degree direction. After 8.33s, she is moving 4.65 m/s in a 120 degree
Westkost [7]

Answer:

jk

Explanation:

Lets decompose the initial velocity into its components:

Vi  = 2.25  m/s

Vix = Vi x cos(50)

Viy = Vi x sin(50)  = 2.25 x sin(50)  = 1.724

Then decompose the final velocity:

Vf = 4.65

Vfx = Vf x cos(120)  

Vfy = Vf x sin(120)  = 4.65 x sin(120)  = 4.027

After that we can use:

Vfy = Viy + ay*t

ay = (Vfy - Viy)/t

ay = (4.027 - 1.724) / 8.33

ay = 0.276
