Answer: Gravity

Explanation:When the only force acting on an object is gravity, so no air resistance. the constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the resistance of the medium through which it is falling prevents further acceleration.

You leave the doctor's office after your annual checkup and recall that you weighed 688 N in her office. You then get into an el
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

a=0.5418\ m.s^{-2} upwards

a=1.283\ m.s^{-2} downwards

Explanation:

Given:

weight of the person, w=688\ N

So, the mass of the person:

m=\frac{w}{g}

m=\frac{688}{9.81}

m=70.132\ kg

  • Now if the apparent weight in the elevator, w_a= 726\ N

<u>Then the difference between the two weights is :</u>

\Delta w=w_a-w

\Delta w=726-688

\Delta w=38\ N is the force that acts on the body which generates the acceleration.

Now the corresponding acceleration:

a=\frac{\Delta w}{m}

a=\frac{38}{70.132}

a=0.5418\ m.s^{-2} upwards, because the normal reaction that due to the weight of the body is increased here.

  • Now if the apparent weight in the elevator, w_a= 598\ N

<u>Then the difference between the two weights is :</u>

\Delta w=w-w_a

\Delta w=688-598

\Delta w=90\ N is the force that acts on the body which generates the acceleration.

Now the corresponding acceleration:

a=\frac{\Delta w}{m}

a=\frac{90}{70.132}

a=1.283\ m.s^{-2} downwards, because the normal reaction that due to the weight of the body is decreased here.

Which of the following would decrease the resistance to the flow of an electric current through a body?
Nookie1986 [14]
R = ρ L/A. R= resistance, ρ= resistivity, L= length of the conductor. A = area of the conductor. Resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor. So if length of the conductor is decreased, resistance will also decrease. Hence A is the correct option

What distance separates Earth and the Sun? A 300,000 km per second B Eight light-minutes C 149 million light-seconds D One light
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

B Eight light-minutes

Explanation:

In the case when the distance separated earth and the sun so here we orbit the sun for a 150 million km distance and the light moves would be 300,000 kilometers per second

Now divide this

= 150 million ÷ 300,000 kilometers per second

= 500 seconds

This 500 seconds represent 8 minutes and 20 seconds

Hence, option B is correct
