There are two forces operating on the block. A downward force due to acceleration and an upward force due to the rope.
Whether gravity is operating depends on where this takes place. If it's on Earth the answer is "yes - the Earth's gravity". However, it is on an accelerating space craft then acceleration is due to change in velocity rather than gravity. For the sake of simplicity, assume the experiment takes place on Earth, but it's worth mentioning that with the information given here you can't say for sure whether it is gravity or change in velocity that is causing the downward force.

Gravity is present but the rope is keeping it from falling so it may not look like it is present. By the way, air reistance is also present.

Describe what a planetesimal is. Is it related to a protoplanet?
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

A planetesimal is an object formed from dust, rock, and other materials. The word has its roots in the concept infinitesimal, which indicates an object too small to see or measure. Planetesimals can be anywhere in size from several meters to hundreds of kilometers.

Protoplanets are thought to form out of kilometer-sized planetesimals that gravitationally perturb each other's orbits and collide, gradually coalescing into the dominant planets.

Rearrange the momentum equation to solve for speed. Show all work.
nasty-shy [4]

Definition:                   Momentum  =  (mass) x (speed)


OK. Here we go.
Watch closely:


Divide each side        
by  'mass' :                  <span>Momentum / mass  =  Speed </span>


Did you follow that ?

Which has more volume feathers or rocks
Nataly_w [17]
Volume doesn't depend on what the substance is, only on how much of it there is.

The mass of a moving object increases, but its speed stays the same. What happens to the kinetic energy of the object as a resul
Ronch [10]
We Know, K.E. = 1/2 × m × v²
From the expression, we can conclude that Kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass. So, as mass will increase, Kinetic energy will also increase.

In short, Your Correct answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!
