Answer:

Assuming a constant force, if the mass of object increases, the acceleration will decrease and if mass of a object decreases, the acceleration will increase. Also if the force applied to object increases the acceleration will also increase whereas if the force applied decreases, the acceleration will also decrease.

Explanation:

We know that according to newton's second law of motion,

F = ma, where F is force applied, m is mass of an object and a is measure of body accelerated with the applies force.

a = F/m

Assuming force is constant, we get

a α 1/m, that is acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. Hence if mass of an object decreases the acceleration of object will increases and vice versa.

Also from equation, F = ma, we infer that F α a . That is the force applied is directly proportional to amount the body is accelerated. . Hence if force applied increases then the acceleration will also increase and vice versa

Answer:

n = 1.76

Explanation:

According to the rule of ( n1 sin theta1 = n2 sin theta2 )

we know both angles so we insert them to the law and apply n1 = 1

so 1/2 = n2 sin 62 and we get the final answer

The coefficient of sliding friction is 0.514

Explanation:

We start by writing the equations of motion of the elephant along the two directions, parallel and perpendicular, to the incline.

Along the parallel direction we have:

$F- mg sin \theta - \mu_k R = ma$ (1)

where :

F = 10,000 N is the force applied by Noah

$mg sin \theta$ is the component of the weight parallel to the incline, where:

m is the mass

g = 9.8 m/s^2 the acceleration of gravity

$\theta=10^{\circ}$ is the angle of incline

$\mu_k R$ is the force of friction, where:

$\mu_k$ is the coefficient of friction

R is the normal reaction

and a is the acceleration

Perpendicular direction:

$R-mg cos \theta =0$ (2)

where $mg cos \theta$ is the component of the weight perpendicular to the incline

From (2) we find

$R=mg cos \theta$

And substituting into (1)

$F-mg sin \theta - \mu_k mg cos \theta = ma$

We know that the elephant moves at constant speed, so the acceleration is zero:

a = 0

So the equation becomes

$F-mg sin \theta - \mu_k mg cos \theta=0$

And we can re-arrange it to find the coefficient of friction:

$F-mg sin \theta - \mu_k mg cos \theta=0\\\mu_k = \frac{F-m g sin \theta}{mg cos \theta}=\frac{10000-(1500)(9.8)(sin 10)}{(1500)(9.8)(cos 10)}=0.514$

Which as more weight a kilogram of bricks in air or a kilogram of feathers in water? Explain your answer.

ale4655 [162]

A kilogram is a unit of weight. So a kilogram of bricks would weigh the same as a kilogram of feathers despite if its in water or air since weight is determined by gravity in relation to mass and not what substance the object is in.
