Alex is taking the high-speed elevator, which travels at a constant speed of 5 m/s to the 43rdfloorbuilding. Sam is stuck making

the same trip in the freight elevator which only travels at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s. Compare the net forces of both.

The net force of Alex is greater than net force of Sam.

The given parameters:

  • Alex speed, = 5 m/s
  • Sam speed. = 1.5 m/s

<h3>What is Newton's second law of motion?</h3>
  • Newton's second law of motion states that the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the product of the mass and acceleration of the object.

F = ma

The net force on each person is calculated as follows;

F = ma + mg

F = m(a + g)

Where;

a is acceleration

Acceleration is directly proportional to velocity

Thus, the person with greater speed will have greater net force.

The formula agNo3 represents q compound made of which atoms?
Alenkinab [10]

Explanation :

AgNO_3 is silver nitrate. In this compound, one atom of silver, one atom of nitrogen and three atoms of oxygen are present.

We know from the concept of mole concept that the number of molecules, atoms or ions present in a substance is known as one mole.

The number of particles in one mole of a substance is defined as Avogadro's number.

So, we can say that silver, nitrogen and oxygen are present in AgNO_3.

A ball is dropped from somewhere above a window that is 2.00 m in height. As it falls, it is visible to a person boxing through
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

4.14 m

Explanation:

In the last leg of the journey the ball covers 2 m in 2ms or 0.2 s .

Let in this last leg , u be the initial velocity.

s = ut + 1/2 g t²

2 = .2 u + .5 x 9.8 x .04

u = 9.02 m /s .

Let v be the final velocity in this leg

v² = u² + 2 g s

v² = (9.02)² + 2 x 9.8 x 2

= 81.36 +39.2

v = 10.97 m / s

Now consider the whole height from where the ball dropped . Let it be h.

Initial velocity u = 0

v² = u² +2gh

(10.97 )² = 2 x 9.8 h

h = 6.14 m

Height from window

= 6.14 - 2m

= 4.14 m

A type of Lead (Pb) ion has a + 4 oxidation number. Sulfur (S) has a — 2 oxidation number. What would be the chemical formula fo
serious [3.7K]

Answer: The chemical formula for the compound of these two elements is PbS_2

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here metal lead is having an oxidation state of +4 called as Pb^{4+} cation and sulphur non metal has oxidation state of -2 called as S^{2-}. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral PbS_2

The chemical formula for the compound of these two elements is PbS_2

What are two ways an object can gain more gravitational potential energy?
Ostrovityanka [42]

When an item is raised, the work is done in opposition to gravity. When an item is worked on, energy is transmitted to it, and it develops gravitational potential energy. If the same thing falls from that height, gravity must do the same amount of effort to bring it back to the Earth's surface.
