The light will change its direction and bend away from the normal.
The quantity is either a vector or a scalar. These two categories can be distinguished from one another by their distinct definitions: Scalars are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude (or numerical value) alone. Vectors are quantities that are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.
Answer:
Part a)

Part b)

Part c)

Part d)
from t = 0 to t = 4.9 s
so the reading of the scale will be same as that of weight of the block
Then its speed will reduce to zero in next 3.2 s
from t = 4.9 to t = 8.1 s
The reading of the scale will be less than the actual mass
Explanation:
Part a)
When elevator is ascending with constant speed then we will have



So it will read same as that of the mass

Part b)
When elevator is decending with constant speed then we will have



So it will read same as that of the mass

Part c)
When elevator is ascending with constant speed 39 m/s and acceleration 10 m/s/s then we will have



Reading is given as



Part d)
Here the speed of the elevator is constant initially
from t = 0 to t = 4.9 s
so the reading of the scale will be same as that of weight of the block
Then its speed will reduce to zero in next 3.2 s
from t = 4.9 to t = 8.1 s
The reading of the scale will be less than the actual mass
Answer:
(c) 16 m/s²
Explanation:
The position is
.
The velocity is the first time-derivative of <em>r(t).</em>
<em />
<em />
The acceleration is the first time-derivative of the velocity.

Since <em>a(t)</em> does not have the variable <em>t</em>, it is constant. Hence, at any time,

Its magnitude is 16 m/s².
Separate the barriers so they have a 2cm gap between them.
