Answer:
T=7.4 N hence T<30 N
Explanation:
The figure is likely to be similar to the one attached. Writing the equation for forces we have
F-T=Fa/g where F is the force, T is tension, a is acceleration and g is acceleration due to gravity. Substituting the figures we have the first equation as
30 N - T = (30/9.81)a
Also, we know that T=F*a/g and substituting 10N for F we obtain the second equation as
T = (10/9.81)a
Adding the first and second equations we obtain
30 = 4.077471967
a Hence
and T=a hence
T is approximately 7.4 N
The Kinetic energy is 48.96 Joules.
If there's a friction force of 20N toward the left, then you need to apply
a force of 20N toward the right, in order to keep the box moving at a
constant speed.
When there's a force pointing to the left and an equal force pointing
to the right, then the forces on the box are "balanced" ... they add up
to zero, and the box has zero acceleration. That means it moves in a
straight line at a constant speed.
Alpha particles, because they are the heaviest ones (helium nuclei) and will travel around the body.
