Answer:
4 m/
Explanation:
From Equilibrium of forces, The Tension in string is cancelled by the Weight (product of mass and acceleration due to gravity) of the body acting downwards.
The Net force = Mass * Acceleration.
Since Net Force = 20 Newton, Mass = 5kg, therefore;
20 = 5kg * acceleration. Dividing the RHS and LHS of the equation by 5, we have;
Acceleration = which gives 4.
Note: RHS means Right Hand Side.
LHS means Left Hand Side.
Answer:
1.43 s
Explanation:
The time it takes for the container to reach the ground is determined only by the vertical motion of the container, which is a free-fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion with a constant acceleration of g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground.
The vertical distance covered by an object in free fall is given by
where
u = 0 is the initial vertical speed
t is the time
a= g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration
since u=0, it can be rewritten as
And substituting S=10.0 m, we can solve for t, to find the duration of the fall:
