Answer:

Your answer would be D. be pushed down into their seats.

Explanation:

You can think of it this way:

If you're not wearing a seat belt on an airplane that drops suddenly, in this case, vertically, which often happens with turbulence- you're the one at rest. You'll stay at rest as the plane (literally) drops out from under you.

If you're strapped in, the seat belt serves as an outside force acting on you, taking you with the plane as it drops and saving you from hitting the ceiling.

Always remember Newton's first law of motion: A body at rest will remain at rest unless an outside force acts on it.

Answer:

tex]2.898\times 10^{-7}\ \text{m}[/tex] ultraviolet region

2.898\times 10^{-10}\ \text{m} x-ray region

Explanation:

T = Temperature

b = Constant of proportionality = 2.898\times 10^{-3}\ \text{m K}

\lambda = Wavelength

T=10^4\ \text{K}

From Wein's law we have

\lambda=\dfrac{b}{T}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{2.898\times 10^{-3}}{10^4}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2.898\times 10^{-7}\ \text{m}

The wavelength of the radiation will be 2.898\times 10^{-7}\ \text{m} and it is in the ultraviolet region.

T=10^7\ \text{K}

\lambda=\dfrac{2.898\times 10^{-3}}{10^7}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2.898\times 10^{-10}\ \text{m}

The wavelength of the radiation will be 2.898\times 10^{-10}\ \text{m} and it is in the x-ray region.

The free body diagram shows a box being pulled to the left up a 25-degree incline
Greeley [361]
The question is incomplete but still I answer to assume your thinking.
The picture is attached below!.
Here,
F is the force with which you pull up the incline.
N is the normal force.
w is the weight acting downward.
Axis are mentioned in the attached picture.
Concept:
You can see there is no movement of object in the y-direction that means acceleration is zero in y-direction, sum of all the forces in y-direction equal to zero.
According to newton second law,
<span>∑ F = ma
</span>As, acceleration is zero in y-direction, so right hand side is zero in the above equation.
<span>∑ F = 0</span>
N-wcosθ=0 
N= m*g*cos25°
N= m*(9.8)*(0.9063)
N= 8.8817*m
By putting the value of mass(m)(not given in the question) you will get the answer.
Hopefully, this is the answer of your question.

Eric has a mass of 70 . He is standing on a scale in an elevator that is accelerating downward at 1.7 . What is the approximate
pychu [463]

Answer:

B)

Explanation:

The value the scale shows is the reaction force to the normal force (they are equal by Newton's 3rd Law) that the scale exerts on Eric.

The forces on Eric are his weight (downward) and this normal force (upward), so we can write the net force over him as (also using Newton's 2nd Law):

F=W-N=ma

which means

N=W-ma=mg-ma=m(g-a)

and for our values this is:

N=mg-ma=(70kg)(9.8m/s^2-1.7m/s^2)=567N

What is the average power consumption in watts of an appliance that uses 5.00 kWh of energy per day? How many joules of energy d
denpristay [2]

Answer:

(A)  power  = 0.208 kW = 208 watts

(B)  energy = 6.6 x 10^{9} joules

Explanation:

energy consumed per day = 5 kWh

(a) find the power consumed in a day

         1 day = 24 hours

        power = \frac{energy}{time}

        power = \frac{5}{24}

          power  = 0.208 kW = 208 watts

         

(b) find the energy consumed in a year

    assuming it is not a leap year and number of days = 365 days

     1 year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 31,536,000 seconds

            energy = power x time

            energy = 208 x 31,536,000

            energy = 6.6 x 10^{9} joules
