A 72-kg man stands on a spring scale in an elevator. Starting from rest, the elevator ascends, attaining its maximum speed of 1.

2 m/s in 0.80 s. The elevator travels with this constant speed for 5.0 s, undergoes a uniform negative acceleration for 1.5 s, and then comes to rest. What does the spring scale register During the first 0.80s of the elevator’s ascent?

Answer:

Explanation:

During the first .8 s , the elevator is under acceleration . It starts from initial velocity u = 0 , final velocity v = 1.2 m /s , time = .8 s

v = u + at

1.2 = 0 +  .8 a

a = 1.2 / .8

= 1.5 m /s²

During the acceleration in upward direction , let reaction force of ground on man be R .

Net force on man = R - mg

Applying Newton's 2 nd law

R - mg = ma

R = m ( g + a )

= 72 ( 9.8 + 1.5 )

= 813.6 N .

This reaction force will be measured by spring scale , so reading of spring scale will be 813.6 N .

The best way to study young stars hidden behind interstellar dust clouds would be to use
Ainat [17]

Answer: Infrared light

Explanation:

Infrared light is an electromagnetic radiation which has longer wavelength than visible light.

cool and faint objects are difficult to be detected using visible light.

Infrared light can pass through dust and clouds of gases. Thus, it is the best way to study the young stars hidden behind interstellar dust clouds.
