Answer:

a third class lever

Explanation:

The third class or interpower lever is a lever that enables fast and dynamic movements. It places the power between the resistance and the support, so the resistance arm is longer than the power.

It is the most frequent type of lever in the human body and as an example we can put the action of the brachial biceps in the flexion of the elbow, where the biceps is inserted in the forearm between the elbow that is behind and the resistance that would be displaced towards the hand by the weight of the load attached to the weight of the forearm.

A good range of movements is achieved although with less force and is the most frequent type of lever in human movement, although the same joint can form different types of lever depending on the type of movement performed .

Answer:

The object will have an upward acceleration

Explanation:

Let's consider the forces applied on the box. We have only two forces:

- The applied force of push, $F_p$ , downward

- The force of gravity, $W$ , (also known as weight of the object), downward

Therefore, the net force on the box is:

$F_{net}=F_p -W$

Here, we know that force applied is equal or greater than the weight, so

$F_p \geq W$

And therefore the net force is greater than zero:

$F_{net}\geq 0$ (1)

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force on the box is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

$F_{net}=ma$

where

m is the mass of the box

a is its acceleration

Given (1), this means that

$a\geq 0$

Therefore, the box will have an upward acceleration.

In this case force example we have:

$F_p = 100 N\\W = 40 N$

So the mass of the box is

$m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{40}{10}=4 kg$

So the net force is

$F_{net}=F_p-W=100-40=60 N$

And the acceleration is

$a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{60}{4}=15 m/s^2$
