Answer:
Positive sign for negative velocity and minus sing for positive velocity
Explanation:
In the case of the negative velocity, the sign of the acceleration that reduces its magnitude is the positive sign, since being in the opposite direction to the movement indicates a deceleration or braking. In the case of the positive velocity, the sign of the acceleration that reduces its magnitude is the negative sign, since being in the opposite direction to the movement indicates a deceleration or braking. We observe that there will always be a reduction in the magnitude of the velocity if the acceleration goes in the opposite direction.
Answer:
Weightlessness
Explanation:
When the elevator is in free fall, this can only occur when the cord of the elevator breaks.
The acceleration of the elevator will be equal to the acceleration due to gravity. That is:
a = g
Then, the body will experience what we called WEIGHTLESSNESS
Where the normal reaction N of the person will tend to zero. That is
N = 0
The value of FN < 0 because the person inside the lift will experience weightlessness.
A single photon carries an energy equal to

where h is the Planck's constant and f is the frequency of the photon.
This means that the higher the frequency of the light, the higher the energy. Among the 5 different options mentioned by the problem, the light with highest frequency is ultraviolet, which has frequencies in the range [3-30] PHz, while visible light (red, blue, green) and infrared have lower frequency, so ultraviolet light has the highest energy per photon.
Keeping in mind that the conversion between calories and Joules is

we can write the conversion factor using the kilocalories:

The energy released in our problem is
so we can set a simple proportion to find its equivalent in kcal:

from which we find:
