A person is standing on a scale placed on the floor of an elevator. At time t1, the elevator is at rest and the reading on the s

cale is 500N. At a later time t2, the person is still standing on the scale and the reading on the scale is 400N . Based on the scale readings, which of the following statements about the motion of the elevator could be true at time t2?
a. The elevator is moving upward at constant speed.
b. The elevator is moving upward and slowing down.
c. The elevator is moving downward at constant speed.
d. The elevator is moving downward and slowing down.
e. The elevator is at rest.

the following statements about the motion of the elevator could be true at time t2 is

c. The elevator is moving downward at constant speed.

Explanation:

  • Under given situation, the elevator is at rest and the reading on the scale is 500N.
  • After some time t2, the person is still standing on the scale and the reading on the scale is 400N .
  • It is because if you stand on a scale in an elevator which is accelerating upward, your body will feel heavier because the elevator's floor pressure which presses harder on your feet, and this is why the scale will show a higher reading than the time when the elevator is at rest.
  • Similarly on the other hand, when the elevator accelerates downward, your body will feel lighter. The force which is exerted by the scale is called as the apparent weight; which means it does not change with constant speed.
  • Applying Newton's second law, which concludes about this particular statement about force exerted on a body when at rest and when in motion.

A ball bearing of radius of 1.5 mm made of iron of density
Serjik [45]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Viscosity \ of \ glycerine \ (\eta) = 14.382 \ poise}

Given:

Radius of ball bearing (r) = 1.5 mm = 0.15 cm

Density of iron (ρ) = 7.85 g/cm³

Density of glycerine (σ) = 1.25 g/cm³

Terminal velocity (v) = 2.25 cm/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 980.6 cm/s²

To Find:

Viscosity of glycerine (\sf \eta)

Explanation:

\boxed{ \bold{v =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{( {r}^{2} ( \rho -  \sigma)g)}{ \eta} }}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{( {r}^{2}( \rho -  \sigma)g )}{v}

Substituting values of r, ρ, σ, v & g in the equation:

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{( {(0.15)}^{2}  \times  (7.85 - 1.25) \times 980.6)}{2.25}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{(0.0225 \times 6.6 \times 980.6)}{2.25}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \times  \frac{145.6191}{2.25}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \times 64.7196

\sf \implies \eta =  2 \times 7.191

\sf \implies \eta =  14.382 \: poise

There is an electromagnetic wave traveling in the -z direction in a standard right-handed coordinate system. What is the directi
wlad13 [49]

Answer: The direction of the electric field, E→, is pointed in the +y direction.

Explanation:

One can use the right hand rule to illustrate the direction of travel of an electromagnetic and thereby get the directions of the electric field, magnetic field and direction of travel of the wave.

The right hand rule states that the direction of the thumb indicate the direction of travel of the electromagnetic wave (<em>in this case the -z direction</em>) and the curling of the fingers point in the direction of the magnetic field  B→ (<em>in this case the +x direction</em>), therefore, the electric field direction E→ is in the direction of the fingers which would be pointed towards the +y direction.
