One little piece of information I think you left out of your question:
WHERE did the earthquake occur ? ?
It's going to make a big difference.
Answer:
1. Acceleration
Explanation:
Newtons Second law gives the measure of acceleration
Hey can you please help me?
The tail consists of gas and dust that can extend hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the coma. Most comets actually have 2 tails: a plasma tail made of ionizedgas, and a dust tail made of small solidparticles. Comet tails point away from the Sun.
(a)
The formula is:
∑ F = Weight + T = mass * acceleration
as the elevator and lamp are moving downward, I choose downward forces to be
positive.
Weight is pulling down = +(9.8 * mass)
Tension is pulling up, so T = -63
Acceleration is upward = -1.7 m/s^2
(9.8 * mass) + -63 = mass * -1.7
Add +63 to both sides
Add (mass * 1.7) to both sides
(9.8 * mass) + (mass * 1.7) = 63
11.5 * mass = 63
mass = 63 / 11.5
Mass = 5.48 kg
(b)
Since the elevator and lamp are going upward, I choose upward forces to be
positive.
Weight is pulling down = -(9.8 * 5.48) = -53.70
Acceleration is upward, so acceleration = +1.7
-53.70 + T = 5.48 * 1.7
T = 53.70 + 9.316 = approx 63 N
The Tension is still the same - 63 N since the same mass, 5.48 kg, is being accelerated
upward at the same rate of 1.7 m/s^2
