if a person with a mass of 70kg is standing on scale in an elevator when the cable snaps, what will the reading on the scale be

during free-fall?

Answer:

The reading will be the same.

Explanation:

Mass does not depend upon anything and it remains the same anywhere. What changes is the weight of the body because it depends upon gravity and is different at different places.

Giving me the brainest will be helpful.

Dump Tower is 96 stories tall. A small, 1.2-kg object is dropped over the side of the roof of the tower and accelerates toward t

laiz [17]

Answer:

6.0 s

98 m/s

Explanation:

The radius of the planet is much bigger than the height of the tower, so we will assume the acceleration is constant. Neglect air resistance.

Acceleration due to gravity on this planet is:

a = GM / r²

a = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ m³/kg/s²) (2.7 × 1.48×10²³ kg) / (1.7 × 750,000 m)²

a = 16.4 m/s²

The height of the tower is:

Δy = 96 × 3.05 m

Δy = 293 m

Given v₀ = 0 m/s, find t and v.

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(293 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (16.4 m/s²) t²

t = 6.0 s

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (16.4 m/s²) (293 m)

v = 98 m/s

Can someone please help me with these physics problems? I just don’t even know where to start.

KIM [24]

#1

for the block of mass 5 kg normal force is given as

$F_n = mg$

$F_n = 5*9.8 = 49 N$

friction force is given as

$F_f = \mu F_n$

$F_f = 0.1*49 = 4.9 N$

Net force is given as

$F_{net} = ma$

$F_{net} = 5*2 = 10 N$

now we know that

$F_{net} = F_{app} - F_f$

$10 = F_{app} - 4.9$

$F_{app} = 14.9 N$

#2

Normal force is given as

$F_n = mg$

$F_n = 6*9.8$

$F_n = 58.8 N$

now we know that

$F_{net} = F_{app} - F_f$

$F_{net} = 0$

as object moves with constant velocity

$F_{app} = F_f = 15 N$

now for coefficient of friction we can use

$F_f = \mu F_n$

$15 = \mu * 58.8$

$\mu = 0.255$

#3

net force upwards is given as

$F = 1.2 * 10^{-4} N$

mass is given as

$m = 7 * 10^{-5} kg$

now as per newton's law we can say

$F = ma$

$1.2 * 10^{-4} = 7 * 10^{-5} * a$

$a = 1.71 m/s^2$

#4

As we know that when block is sliding on rough surface

part a)

net force = applied force - frictional force

$F_{net} = F_{app} - F_f$

$ma = F_{app} - F_f$

$5*6 = 40 - F_{f}$

$F_f = 40 - 30 = 10 N$

part b)

for coefficient of friction we can use

$F_f = \mu F_n$

$10 = \mu * F_n$

here normal force is given as

$F_n = mg = 5*9.8 = 49 N$

now we have

$\mu = \frac{10}{49} = 0.204$

#5

if an object is initially at rest and moves 20 m in 5 s

so we can use kinematics to find out the acceleration

$d = v_i*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$20 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a(5^2)$

$a = 1.6 m/s^2$

now net force is given as

$F_{net} = ma$

$F_{net} = 10*1.6 = 16 N$

#6

an object travelling with speed 25 m/s comes to stop in 1.5 s

so here acceleration of object is given as

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

$a = \frac{0 - 25}{1.5} = -16.67 m/s^2$

now the force is gievn as

$F = ma$

$F = 5*16.67 = 83.3 N$

What is the solar process that results in the production of energy?<br>

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

"solar-powered photovoltaic (PVC) panels convert the suns rays into electricity by exciting electrons in silicon cells using the photons of light from the sun. This electricity can then be used to supply renewable energy to your home or business."

I hope this helps ^-^

To find the number of neutrons in an atom, what would you subtract?

kolezko [41]

You look up the element in the periodic table. Subtract the atomic number (small number) from the mass number (big number). The answer is the number of neutrons.
