Answer:
a) F = 527.65 N, Force applied is upwards.
b)F = - 527.65 N, where, negative sign depicts Force is applied downwards.
Explanation:
Data provided:
Weight of the firefighter = 756 N
Mass of the firefighter = 756/9.8 = 77.14 Kg
Acceleration, a = 2.96 m/s²
a) In the absence of the pole the firefighter would have been moving down with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s (i.e the acceleration due to the gravity), but due to the presence of the pole the acceleration of the firefighter has been reduced. thus, a force is applied by the pole on the firefighter to reduce the acceleration.
therefore, we have
F = ma(net) = 77.14 × (9.8-2.96) = 527.65 N, Force applied is upwards.
B) According to the Newton's third law, the force will be equal and opposite to the force in the part a)
thus, we have
F = - 527.65 N
Your answer would be, The process of Hypothesis, and Testing through which scientific inquiry occurs.
Hope that helps!!!! : )
To solve this problem we will apply the definition of Newton's second law, which says that force is equivalent to body mass by acceleration. In this case the mass of the trailer is 325Kg and its acceleration is 
, so we will proceed to replace and multiply these values to find the net force on this object.
F= 698.75N
Under the reference system in which the direction of travel is the positive direction, the direction of the force will be positive.
<span>Answer:
No, because Einstein demonstrated that nothing can exceed the speed of light in a vacuum and for something to happen instantly over that distance would require that speed to be exceeded. If somehow the sun were to vanish, without explosive effects, an enormous gravity wave would begin travelling outward affecting the planets at the speed of light - thus taking about 8 minutes to reach earth.
But that is irrelevant because the only way to remove all that matter would be total conversion of the mass to energy and that energy would totally destroy everything - after the same 8 minutes.
