Answer:

F - M a      force exerted by scales on student

M a = M (9.8 + 4.9) m/s^2      upwards chosen as positive

a = 1.5 g        net acceleration of student  due to force of scales

W =M g       weight of student   (actual weight)

Wapp = M 1.5 * g      apparent weight (on scales) of student

Describe an example of Newton's 3rd Law of Motion (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction).​
Alina [70]
The motion of an airplane when the pilot changes the throttle setting of the engine is described by the first law. The motion of a ball falling down through the atmosphere, or a model rocket being launched up into the atmosphere are both examples of Newton's first law.

Why were early solar panels not popular
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

1:  They had toxic metals and they were massive. They took up way too much space for some people's money and they weren't exactly the best and most efficient so some people didn't like them.

3: Solar panels would work very well in space because they don't have clouds and dust to block out sunlight like there is on Earth. In space, there wouldn't be a source such as wind or coal or anything, so it would be more efficient to use solar panels since there is a more direct sunlight path.

A jogger takes five minutes to run a distance of three kilometres. His speed, in metres per second, is approximately A) 5.5 M/S
just olya [345]

Answer:

His speed, in metres per second, is approximately 10m/s. The correct option is B.

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the rate in which an object cover a distance in a given time. It is measured in meters per second ( m/s). From the question, the jogger covered a distance of 3Km which when converted to meter is 3000meters in a given time 5 minutes which is 300seconds. The calculation of his speed in meter per second is shown below:

Distance= 3Km to meters ( as 1000meters = 1Km). Therefore 3× 1000 = 3000m

Time= 5 minutes to seconds ( as 1 minute = 60 Seconds). Therefore 5× 60= 300.

Speed= distance/ time

= 3000/300

= 10m/s

Therefore his speed, in metres per second, is approximately 10.
