Answer:
a = 1 m/s² and
Explanation:
The first two parts can be seen in attachment
We use Newton's second law on each axis
Y axis
Ty - W = 0
Ty = w
X axis
Tx = m a
With trigonometry we find the components of tension
Sin θ = Ty / T
Ty = T sin θ
Cos θ = Tx / T
Tx = T cos θ
We calculate the acceleration with kinematics
Vf = Vo + a t
a = (Vf -Vo) / t
a = (20 -10) / 10
a = 1 m/s²
We substitute in Newton's equations
T Sin θ = mg
T cos θ = ma
We divide the two equations
Tan θ = g / a
θ = tan⁻¹ (g / a)
θ = tan⁻¹ (9.8 / 1)
θ = 84º
We see that in the expression of the angle the mass does not appear therefore you should not change the angle
