A 2 kg object with a weight of 20 N is being pulled up by a rope with a tension of 12N what is the acceleration of the object

son4ous [18]

Answer:

The object accelerates downward at 4 m/s² since the tension on the rope is less than weight of the object.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 2 kg

weigh of the object, W = 20 N

tension on the rope, T = 12 N

The acceleration of the object is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;

T = F + W

T = ma + W

ma = T - W

$a = \frac{T-W}{m} \\\\a = \frac{12 - 20}{2} \\\\a = -4 \ m/s^2$ (the negative sign indicates deceleration of the object)

The object accelerates downward at 4 m/s² since the tension on the rope is less than weight of the object.

Two boats start together and race across a 48-km-wide lake and back. Boat A goes across at 48 km/h and returns at 48 km/h. Boat

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Part 1)

Boat A will win the race

Part 2)

Boat A will win the race by 48 km as the 2nd boat will reach the other end while boat A will just touches the finish line

Part 3)

average velocity must be zero

Explanation:

As we know that the distance moved by the boat is given as

$d = 48 km$

now the time taken by the boat to move to and fro is given as

$t = \frac{d}{v}$

$t = \frac{48 + 48}{48}$

$t = 2 hrs$

Time taken by Boat B to cover the distance

$t = \frac{48}{24} + \frac{48}{72}$

$t = 2.66 h$

Part 1)

Boat A will win the race

Part 2)

Boat A will win the race by 48 km as the 2nd boat will reach the other end while boat A will just touches the finish line

Part 3)

Since the displacement of Boat A is zero

so average velocity must be zero

26. Keenan found the mass of a book to be 4.56*10^ -2 kg . What is the mass of the book in milligrams?

vagabundo [1.1K]

Taking into account the rule of three for the change of units, the mass of the book is 45600 miligrams.

First of all, the rule of three is a mathematical tool that helps you quickly solve proportionality problems.

Having three known values and one unknown, a proportional relationship is established between all of them in order to find the fourth term of the proportion.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct (when one magnitude increases, so does the other; or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other), the rule of three is applied as follows, where a, b and c are known values and x is the unknown to calculate:

a → b

c → x

So: $x=\frac{cxb}{a}$

Being 1 kg equivalent to 1000000 milligrams, In this case the rule of three is applied as follows: if 1 kg equals 1000000 milligrams, 4.56×10⁻² kg equals how many milligrams?

1 kg → 1000000 milligrams

4.56×10⁻² kg → x

So:

$x=\frac{4.56x10^{-2} kg x1000000 miligrams }{1 kg}$

<u><em>x=45600 miligrams</em></u>

In summary, the mass of the book is 45600 miligrams.

What will happen to the current if the voltage is reduced to one half?

stira [4]

We use v=IR and assuming the resistance doesn’t change we can also say that the voltage and current (I) are directly proportional which means the voltage also decreases by 1/2
